ProFire 2626 M-Audio Octane Technology
The MAudio ProFire 26/26 features the same award-winning Octane pre-amplifier technology reviewers and audio professionals have praised in the M-Audio Octane 8-channel standalone pre-amp. The eight onboard mic-preamps provide pristine audio fidelity right from the start of the signal path. In addition to exceptional sound, each preamp has a generous 75dB gain range, 48V phantom power and a -20dB pad.
ProFire 2626 and Pro Tools 7.4
The 2626 IO interface supports ASIO and Core Audio for compatibility with a wide variety of digital audio workstations. In addition, ProFire 2626 works with Pro Tools 7.4 M-Powered software, delivering, say M-Audio, broader compatibility than any other product in its class.
M-Audio Pro Fire 2626: Flexible Pro Tools System
The M Audio FireWire 2626 interface features a customisable master volume knob that delivers a unique level of flexible control. The knob is assignable to any or all of the four analogue output pairs, providing a choice of which output pair will feed the main monitors. You can also choose whether the master volume knob influences either or both of the two headphone outputs, or operates independently of them. In addition, the master level control can be assigned to all four output pairs to uniformly attenuate up to a 7.1 surround mix.
The flexible M-Audio ProFire 2626 IO interface doubles as a standalone 8-channel preamp, 8-channel A/D-D/A converter and digital format converter. In standalone mode, the eight analog inputs route to the first eight ADAT optical output channels. This facilitates use of the line, instrument and mic ins—including the preamps—with other digital gear. Similarly, the first eight ADAT optical input channels feed the eight analog outputs to provide D/A functionality. Users can also disable the D/A conversion, transforming the MAudio ProFire 2626into a standalone 8-channel mic pre. The ProFire 2626 can also convert coaxial S/PDIF to optical S/PDIF.
The M-Audio Pro Fire 2626 interface employs high-quality converters to deliver sampling rates up to 192kHz. The unit also features critically acclaimed JetPLL technology to provide extremely stable synchronization and eliminate jitter that can degrade audio quality. In addition, ProFire 2626 allows master or slave operation via internal clock, ADAT optical, S/PDIF and word clock. M-Audio’s mature, stable drivers deliver solid performance and ultra-low latency.
