The GO46 from Yamaha is a compact FireWire mobile audio interface that features high-quality, phantom-powered microphone preamps and world-class MIDI and audio recording software.
Powered via a computer's FireWire bus, the interface allows for professional quality recording in locations that otherwise would hamper other systems.
An included external power adaptor provides health power where a computer only has 4-pin FireWire ports, or for microphones that absolutely require full 48V phantom power to function.
Professional-Quality Recording
24-bit/192kHz resolution on the analog inputs/outputs and 24-bit/96kHz on the digital I/O
Multi-Channel I/O
Delivers 4-in/6-out multi-channel audio via a single FireWire cable connection to a computer
Analog input is handled by two combo microphone/line connectors with high-quality microphone preamps with individually switchable +48V phantom power
Digital input/output with S/PDIF optical connectors
Rear-panel inserts provide for two channels of analog input, allowing the user to use external effects such as reverb and chorus and apply compressors and limiters to the microphone signal while recording
Portable
The GO46's body is made from die-cast aluminum, which is light yet exceptionally rugged allowing recording to be done virtually anywhere
Bus-Powered
When connected to a computer equipped with a 6-pin FireWire (IEEE 1394) terminal, power can be supplied from the computer without having to use the supplied AC adaptor
Allows for recording anywhere using a laptop's battery power and in places having few, or no electrical outlets
ASIO 2.0 Compatible Driver
Provides near-zero latency that makes for efficient recording and mixing
Bundled Software
In addition to Steinberg's Cubase LE audio/MIDI sequencer, the package includes VST plug-in instruments and effects
Surround Playback
The digital outputs on the GO46 are compatible with AC-3 and DTS surround sound formats
