Echo AudioFire12 Firewire Audio Interface

AudioFire12 offers the same high quality hardware and software as the new AudioFire8, but with 12 balanced analog inputs and outputs for 24 bit 192kHz recording and playback. If you already have a mixer and tons of microphone / instrument preamps, but you need to get all that audio into your computer then the AudioFire12 is just for you.

The AudioFire12 (and AudioFire8) can grow with your studio since you can daisy chain 2 or more together via FireWire and synchronize them via word clock. AudioFire12 has 12 balanced analog inputs and outputs (TRS), 2 FireWire ports, MIDI I_O, word clock synchronization, and 12 channels of full duplex 24 bit 192kHz recording and playback.

FREE SOFTWARE INCLUDED! Tracktion, hailed as the easiest to use professional recording and MIDI production software, is a radical new type of music production software - giving you a clean, intuitive, and clutter-free interface without losing professional features like drag-and-drop editing, a built-in sampler, VST plug-in support, track freezing and more... all right at your fingertips.
