Firewire SOLO
The
FireWire Solo is designed from the ground up as an easy-to-use,
high-quality interface for songwriters to record guitar, vocals
and more on the computer. Compatible with most popular music
software, this compact bus-powered unit is small enough to go
anywhere you want to take your music. In addition to the guitar
input right on the front panel, a professional XLR microphone
input lets you record vocals and acoustic guitars. There are
also dual line inputs for effects, drum machines and other outboard
gear. FireWire connectivity, up to 24-bit/96kHz and digital
I/O all add up to outstanding sonic performance. As simple to
connect and operate as it is powerful, FireWire Solo is the
foundation of your computer-based songwriting studio.
