M-Audio Profire Lightbridge Firewire Interface

M-Audio ProFire Lightbridge

 firewire audio interfaces up to four Lightpipe devices with a PC or Mac via FireWire, making M-Audio ProFire Lightbridge perfect for integrating digital mixers, AD/DA converters and/or ADATs with most popular DAW software. The M-Audio ProFire Lightbridge unit is capable of 32 channels of Lightpipe I/O, S/PDIF I/O and two-channel analog output for a total of 34 x 36 concurrent channels at 44.1 or 48kHz sample rates (it also supports 16-channel Lightpipe operation at 88.2 and 96kHz sample rates via the SMUX protocol). The M-Audio ProFire Lightbridge can output word clock as a master, or slave to external sync on any input, and MIDI I/O also accommodates MIDI Time Code and MIDI Machine Control. Independent volume controls of M-Audio ProFire Lightbridge are provided for the 1/4" balanced outputs and front panel 1/4" headphone jack. The ProFire Lightbridge is compatible with most DAW software.

The Perfect Companion for Digital Mixers
The M-Audio ProFire Lightbridge is designed with today's digital mixers and workflow in mind. Record up to 32 Lightpipe tracks to your computer-based DAW simultaneously from a digital mixer. Or use your mixer to submix up to 32 DAW tracks while sending the submix back to the DAW via S/PDIF. Using the mixer's built-in processing and automation leaves more CPU power for specific tracks that require CPU-intensive plug-ins.

Build a Custom I/O Setup
ProFire Lightbridge plays nice with others too. Pick any ADAT-compatible A/D or D/A converter and utilize M-Audio's fast and reliable FireWire driver technology to get the most out of your DAW. Need to transfer tracks between an ADAT system and your computer? The M-Audio ProFire Lightbridge can do it with ease. Send up to 32 channels of Lightpipe simultaneously at 44.1 or 48kHz-or transfer up to 16 channels at 88.2 or 96kHz using the SMUX protocol.

Live Multitrack Recording
Combine the ProFire Lightbridge with up to four 8-channel preamps with Lightpipe ouputs and you have a compact system for recording up to 32 Lightpipe channels of input for live shows. This would also fare well in studio applications where a large amount of simultaneous channels are needed. And since the M-Audio ProFire Lightbridge can also handle SMUX, M-Audio ProFire Lightbridge's possible to have up to 16 simultaneous inputs at sample rates up to 96kHz.
