A couple of hundred pounds will now buy you eight channels' worth of pristine 24-bit hardware and leave change for the bus-ride home. Frustratingly, though, the situation is not so rosy when it comes to choosing a mic preamp to use with your new soundcard.
Focusrite's latest audio interfaces are designed to interface seamlessly with both Macs and PCs, providing a high quality audio signal path direct into, and out of, your DAW. The Saffire range starts with the Saffire 6 USB, providing 2 inputs and 4 outputs, right up to the Liquid Saffire 56, providing 28 Ins and 28 Outs. Key to Focusrite's audio interfaces, are our microphone pre-amplifers, considered many to be among the finest pre-amplifiers available today. Use the comparison chart to find the right interface for you.
