Eight high-quality award-winning Focusrite preamps.Front panel controls include a main monitor dial with dim and mute switches, all of which fully integrate with customisable software to cover every possible monitoring need, providing a set of controls for any set-up from basic stereo to full 7.1 surround. A dedicated stereo monitor mix TRS output features pads for improved sound quality when connected to active monitor speakers, while an ‘anti-thump’ circuit protects your monitor speakers from spikes when booting up or shutting down. Two independent headphone buses are provided, each with their own level controls available on the front panel. It features unparalleled output routing and monitoring, as well as intuitive one-click options, a clear and concise mixing layout and large on-screen metering for inputs, outputs and submixes. Saffire MixControl, the ultra-low-latency 18 x 16 DSP Mixer/Router software provided with Saffire PRO 40, sets a new standard at this price point for audio interface control. MixControl: zero-latency DSP-powered mixing software Front panel five-step LED metering for each analogue input offers accurate viewing of levels. Every mic pre features phantom power, with the first two channels also featuring -9dB pads for additional headroom. In addition, ADAT I/O, stereo S/PDIF I/O and two virtual ‘loopback’ inputs for routing digital audio between software applications are provided. In addition to the comprehensive monitoring options described below, there are eight TRS line outputs. Inputs 1 and 2 appear on the front panel and support mic, line and instrument operation, while the remaining six are on the rear panel and offer mic and line input functionality. Meanwhile, powerful Saffire MixControl DSP-based zero-latency mixing software allows the maximum monitoring flexibility.Īll eight main inputs feature combo XLR/TRS connectors and sense which is in use automatically. JetPLL™ jitter-reduction technology helps to attain the goal of pristine audio quality, coupled with excellent routing flexibility and future-proof, rock-solid stability. Our acclaimed mic pres are combined with the very latest in interfacing technology, including precision digital conversion based on exceptional circuit design and multi-layer boards, offering the lowest possible latency. Those used in our computer interface ranges are a special 2-stage design created specially for the purpose, combining low noise, high gain and exceptional headroom, allowing you to get the best out of any microphone. The resulting, sought-after sound has been the basis of Focusrite mic preamps ever since. Focusrite came into being thirty years ago in 1985 when console design legend Rupert Neve was asked by Sir George Martin to develop new mic pres for the consoles at AIR studios. Two mic/line/instrument inputs are accessed via the front panel, which also provides two independent headphone monitor outputs.ģ0-year heritage of acclaimed mic pre designįocusrite’s unparalleled preamp legacy forms the foundation of this versatile interface, with eight award-winning Focusrite preamps. ![]() I loaded up the MixControl software (which is not the friendliest to look at) and went through all of the available inputs and all I can find in here is either DAW or analogue inputs, not really what I'm looking for.īasically I only have one pair of speakers (my monitors) and I don't have the space for another pair, so when I'm not using the system for recording I'd like to use the same speakers as general PC speakers, through the Pro 40.20-in, 20 out Firewire interface with eight Focusrite mic presĭesigned with the sophisticated project studio owner or smaller commercial facility in mind, Saffire PRO 40 features a versatile 20 inputs and 20 outputs, including a complement of eight Focusrite mic preamps guaranteed to get the best out of any microphone, with minimal noise and distortion even at high gain. I have selected the Saffire 'Speakers' output within the Windows 7 'Playback' dialogue but not sure where to go from here. ![]() Two monitors are plugged into line out 1 and 2 on the back of the unit (these are labelled 'Monitors' so assuming I've got these in the right place) ![]() Got the drivers installed fine but I'm struggling to find a way to get the audio from Windows to come through on my monitors. ![]() I have a Saffire Pro 40 and on top of recording I want to use it as general sound output for my Windows 7 PC.
