Product Description for the Focusrite Saffire 6 USB Audio Interface

The Focusrite Saffire 6 USB is a 2 In / 4 Out USB audio interface. It uses the same award-winning Focusrite mic-pres as the rest of the Saffire range. This makes it the best value, and best sounding interface in its class. Its output configuration is also ideal for laptop DJs. It is ultra-reliable and easy to set up, providing you with the simplest route to record into, and play back from your computer. It has lower latency than any of its rivals, and professional analogue to digital converters ensure you get the best possible signal into your recording software.

With 2 mic-pres, multiple outputs and MIDI I/O, the Saffire 6 USB can be at the centre of your home recording set-up. However, its reliability means that you can take it out and record on location with confidence. The 2 in 4 out configuration is perfect for laptop DJs who need to be able to cue up material, or send two different signals to either side of a DJ mixer.

This is our most affordable interface to date, and it comes with Ableton Live Lite 7, Novation's Bass Station synthesizer and over a gigabyte of samples. In addition to all this, you get the Focusrite FX Suite, which includes a compressor, gate, reverb and EQ to upgrade your standard AU/VST effects. The Saffire 6 USB is certainly the easiest way of getting the classic Focusrite mic-pre into your recording set-up.

Amazing USB Audio Interface
Review by Marvelous One
Rating
I\'m really happy I bought this interface,I\'d say it is a lot better than the M-Audio Fast Track Pro. It\'s like NIGHT & DAY. Honetly!!! For real, the preamp itself, should be more than worth the money. If you just know what you\'re doing you can really get professional vocals on this thing. You can DJ on this too, since it has extra outputs for cuing. And of course, the price is lovely, don\'t be fooled though, even if it\'s cheap, IT IS DONE RIGHT, I can tell you that. Get it, you\'ll be satisfied. Peace!
