FA-101 FireWire Audio Capture Interface

The FA-101, Edirol´s first Firewire audio interface is a smashing 10x10 audio interface, capable of 24-bit/96 kHz at a full 10 channels in & out. You can record and monitor all 10 channels simultaneously in full duplex- phenomenal audio power for the studio musician. In addition to 10x10 24-bit/96kHz performance, the FA-101 also offers 6 channel recording & playback at 24-bit/192kHz for performance at DVD-A quality.

The portable musician will love that the FA-101 draws its power completely from the Firewire bus - there is no need for an electrical hookup. At an event, all of the band´s hardware can be routed through the FA-101 to output to monitors and at the same time the show can be recorded and during the break, CD´s burned to sell on the spot. The Performance DJ will rely on the FA-101´s rugged metal chassis to allow him to pound the clubs without worrying about the state of his audio interface. Back at home, the FA-101 will return as the centerpiece to the home studio.

Because of the FA-101´s ability to supply so many simultaneous inputs, it´s perfect for any portable audio application. Portability with no limitation means you´ll be able to take the FA-101 to any kind of performance to record multi-track audio.

The two Phantom-power XLR/TRS combo jacks offer premium mic preamps for incredibly clean recording with studio condenser mics or dynamic stage mics. The back of the FA-101 hosts a number of 1/4" TRS balances inputs & outputs: six inputs and eight outputs in all. The front-mounted S/P DIF optical I/Os transfer audio to & from other digital devices and the built-in MIDI interface allows a synthesizer or controller keyboard to be connected to the FA-101 for sequencing directly into a software program.

If you´re looking for an audio interface capable of simultaneous multi-channel recording on your computer at the highest quality possible... you need the Edirol FA-101, particularly if you have Firewire. Invest in yourself and your music, with the FA-101.
