Accessory Details
The ProFire 2626 from M-Audio is a FireWire based computer audio interface that provides eight microphone preamps along with extensive digital conversion. Building on a legacy of award-winning FireWire audio interfaces, the unit delivers twenty-six simultaneous inputs and outputs each, complete with an onboard DSP mixer sourced from up to fifty-two audio streams. The unit will also function as a standalone preamp and digital converter.
A comprehensive set of connections is provide, including M-Audio's Octane preamp technology on all of the eight analog inputs, along with ADAT, S/PDIF, Wordclock and MIDI I/O. JetPLL jitter elimination technology ensures pristine audio quality and reliable synchronization all the way up to high-definition 24-bit/192kHz resolution, with extremely low latency. Also included are dual headphone outputs and two front-panel 1/4" instrument inputs.
