Konnekt 8 Firewire Audio Interface description:

The TC Electronic KONNEKT 8 Firewire Audio Interface. High quality yet affordable, 24-bit/192kHz FireWire Interface for your Mac or Windows computer with Cubase LE recording software.

The TC Electronic KONNEKT 8 is designed for recording and performing musicians who want the highest possible sound quality from input, through built-in real-time effects, to the recording application. Two combo inputs on the front panel combine outstanding mic preamp quality with true Hi-Z guitar optimized inputs. The light ring gives you easy access, instant control and visual feedback on important parameters directly from the front panel. You can stack up to four Konnekts together using TC NEAR - Network Expandable Audio Recording - to obtain a massive amount of I/O and effects channels. If you are working with active monitors, you'll be delighted with the analog volume control that ensures a wide dynamic range. Dual headphone outputs are convenient when you’re two in studio and one of the headphone outputs comes with an auto speaker muting function.
