CloseA Whole Lotta I/O for Not a Lot of $$$!
Are you in a band? Do you want to start turning your band's ideas into professional sounding tracks? You gotta get the M-Audio ProFire 2626 into your rack. M-Audio really nailed it with the ProFire 2626. This 26-in/26-out interface gives you the capability to record a huge number of tracks, and it can easily retrofit into an existing ADAT-equipped recording rig as an expansion piece. And you can use it with whatever DAW you're into — Pro Tools M-Powered, Logic, Live, Cubase, SONAR... name it.Flip around the ProFire 2626 to the back and you'll notice eight combo jacks with XLR and line inputs for your mics or other gear. These aren't just any eight preamps. They're all Octane pres, long renowned for their amazing sound. And there's S/PDIF, MIDI, and word clock available for piping in signals from other digital sources. Then on the output side, you've got a full lineup of eight line outputs. Use 'em to feed a headphone amp if you're recording a full band or something. You'll want to reserve a pair or two for you studio monitors. Rounding out the expansive I/O on the ProFire 2626 is a pair of optical inputs with corresponding outputs. You can track virtually anything with all this I/O!
Up until now, we've left out a pretty cool part. And that's the DSP mixer that's built right in. Using NO power from your computer (leave that for more important stuff, like plug-ins, running tracks, etc.), you can use the ProFire 2626 to route audio to the outputs however you like. And with 26-in/26-out possibilities, that's a lot of control! Maybe best of all, on top of the easy-to-use design, you get really awesome sound quality here. Meaning, you get a full 24-bit/192kHz performance. That blows your CD collection out of the water... we're talking hi-fi stuff here.
