RME Fireface 800 Firewire Audio Interface & Avid Pro Tools 10 Bundle

RME Fireface 800

 is a 56 channel 24 bit / 192 kHz high-end, high performance and high speed FireWire audio interface for use both the Mac and Windows. Fireface 800 provides the some of the best instrument input implementation to be found anywhere in an audio interface plus a high power headphone output and signal-to-noise ratios of 119 dBA - typically RME!

Avid Pro Tools 10 DAW software enables you to mix multiple audio file formats and bit depths within the same session - including interleaved - without any file duplication to cause project bloat. Plus, with support for 32-bit floating-point file formats, you'll get higher resolution sound when recording or importing, with more headroom to preserve the integrity of your audio from beginning to end.

Avid Pro Tools 10 is designed with the professional in mind, providing powerful yet easy-touse tools and streamlined workflows that boost your efficiency. Gain better recording and playback performance when working on a laptop, with an external hard drive, or network-attached storage device. Speed up editing and mixing with Smart Tools, Clip Gain, and new AudioSuite workflows. And handle the biggest plug-in heavy mixes with 16k of ADC (Automatic Delay Compensation).

RME Fireface 800

Direct ASIO Headphone Monitoring
Fireface 800's headphone output delivers high volume with low-impedance headphones and mirrors playback channels 9/10. In contrast to the Multiface, the Fireface 800's headphone output is capable of direct ASIO monitoring.

Built-In "Tube Sound" Limiter For Guitar And Bass
The FireFace 800's Hi-Z instrument input offers an unprecedented fidelity and flexibility for guitar and bass. A soft-limiter, specifically designed instruments, provides overload protection for the A/D-converter and deliberately creates harmonic distortion to emulate tube sound. Due to a soft transition and creation of harmonics, the Fireface 800's limiter can emulate tube saturation. A 'fuzz' circuit, which can be activated in addition, deliversguitar distortion. A multi-stage filter can remove low- and high-frequency disturbances and guarantees a optimal sound even when recording directly into the computer or when monitoring through a mixing console. Signals from guitar or bass can be recorded clean for optimal plug-in processing in your DAW.

Balanced I/O at 192kHz and 119dBA Dynamic Range
RME's highly successful Multiface was the basis for the development of the Fireface 800. The Fireface 800 features 8 balanced line I/Os with software controlled reference level switching (-10 dBV, +4 dBu, HiGain), to guarantee highest dynamic range and fidelity. Apart from the levels of the Fireface 800's microphone pre-amps and the headphone outputs, all device settings are software controlled. The RME Fireface 800 is equipped with the latest A/D and D/A converter chips and all I/Os operate up to 192 kHz with a dynamic range of 119 dBA on playback.

Simultaneous TRS and XLR I/O
All inputs and outputs can be used at the same time. E. g., the instrument input can be used either instead of the line input on the back, or together with it. Even the jack and the XLR sockets of the microphone inputs can be used simultaneously. In this way, up to 35 signal sources can be connected to the Fireface 800 and recorded onto 28 separate tracks!

ADAT I/O
RME Fireface 800 has two ADAT I/Os and 1 S/PDIF I/O. When combined with two additional ADI-8 DS', you can have 26 analog inputs and outputs at 48kHz or 18 at 96 kHz. The SPDIF-I/O works up to 192 kHz, allowing 10 analog inputs and outputs at the highest sample rate, plus two digital ones.

4 Phantom Powered Mic Pres
RME Fireface 800 has 4 discrete balanced microphone inputs with class-A stage, 48 V phantom power and separate TRS and XLR inputs, which can also be used as additional line inputs. Two of the Fireface 800's four mic inputs are permanently available as channels 9 and 10 while the other two can be used with inputs 7 / 8 on the back panel.
