Phase 88 R Firewire Audio Interface description:

The Terratec PHASE 88 R FIREWIRE Audio Interface. High class performance from this flexible 24Bit/96kHz Firewire Audio Interface for your Mac or Windows computer.

The Terratec PHASE 88 R FIREWIRE High class performance Firewire Audio interface: The PHASE 88 Rack Firewire is the flexible audio center for your home or project studio. With the TerraTec Producer series 24 Bit/96 kHz PHASE 88 Rack Firewire audio system, you're well-equipped to handle any tasks in your home or project studio, now and in the future. Eight analog inputs and outputs (balanced 1/4 inch jacks) give you the room and technology you need, even for larger recording sessions. All inputs can be controlled individually via gain controls on the front panel and feature clipping LEDs to warn of unintended distortion. Two of the channels can be adapted to microphone use at the press of a button - with XLR sockets and switchable 48V phantom power. A two-channel digital I/O (S/PDIF) with optical connectors is available for your DAT recorder and other equipment. A WordClock I/O ensures optimal synchronized connections to external digital equipment, and two independent MIDI interfaces give you 32 MIDI channels to work with. Thanks to its sophisticated board design and proven converters, the system delivers outstanding audio quality: a signal-to-noise ratio of 110 dB (A) speaks for itself.
