Tapco Link FireWire 4X6 Ultra Portbale Audio Interface

Link FireWire 4X6 Ultra Portbale Audio Interface description:

The Tapco Link FireWire 4x6 audio interface is an ultra-portable and superb-sounding recording solution for musicians, composers and producers.

The extremely versatile 4-input/6-output format provides the ultimate in connectivity, and since the Link.FireWire 4x6 is bus-powered and compact, you can easily take it with you. With Link's superior sounding, low-latency 24-bit/96kHz operation, dual Mackie mic preamps and the included Mackie Tracktion Music Production Software, your next project will come together quickly.

For the Link.FireWire 4x6, we started with two of the best mic preamps available in any audio interface at this price range. These Mackie-designed preamps will capture the subtle nuances of any sound you throw at them. Any Mic, Line, or Instrument input is connected via 2 Neutrik XLR/TRS combo connectors. This exceptional sound is preserved all the way to your computer thanks to modern 24-bit/96kHz digital audio converters. These same converters supply superb quality sound to both your headphones and S Series Active Studio Monitors.

All that great sound potential is cleverly packed into a compact case less than 2" high and 8" long. Link.FireWire 4x6 tucks comfortably alongside your laptop when you're on the go, and connects with a single FireWire cable when you're ready to get busy. It's bus powered, meaning it draws its juice from your computer for no-sacrifice recording and mixing, no matter where you end up. And with a unique swivel-foot design, you can stand the Link.FireWire 4x6 on its side in tighter workspaces, then stow it when it's time to go.

Link.FireWire 4x6 sounds and looks great, and it's designed for complete roadworthiness and functionality. The Link.FireWire 4x6's soft rubber side-cheeks protect it from accidental impact and serve to lessen the likelihood it will slide off your desk during minor earthquakes or other natural phenomena. Silver side rails act like tiny roll bars to protect its precious knobs from being sheared off while in transit. The TAPCO Link.FireWire 4x6—it's hard working, smart, and sexy—just like you.

The Link.FireWire 4x6 includes Mackie's Tracktion Music Production Software; the easiest program out there to get you started using your computer to record. And once you've mastered the basics, there's plenty of room to grow with Tracktion's truly professional feature set. It even comes bundled with a great assortment of plug-in effects, including Mackie's Dynamics Suite to help you keep the mix tight, plus Mackie's Final Mix CD mastering plug-in for when you're ready to share your music with the world.
