M-Audio FireWire Solo Overview

The M-Audio FireWire Solo is a FireWire based computer interface specifically designed for songwriters to record guitars, vocals and other audio sources with the minimum of complexity. Compatible with most popular music software, the compact bus-powered unit is small enough to be easily portable.

In addition to the 1/4" guitar input on the front panel, an XLR microphone input with phantom power allows for the recording of vocals and acoustic instruments. There are also dual line inputs for effects, drum machines and other outboard gear. The FireWire Solo provides up to 24-bit/96kHz sample rate support and digital I/O, all in a package that is simple to connect and operate.
