Behringer FCA610 Firepower FCA610 USB/FireWire Audio Interface
Behringer Firepower FCA610 Audiophile 6 In/10 Out, 24 Bit/96kHz FireWire/USB Audio/MIDI Interface with MIDAS Preamplifiers. Firepower Audio USB/FireWire audio interfaces are the ideal way to stream audio to and from your PC or Mac computer. These handy interfaces feature state-of-the-art Xenyx mic preamps, legendary the world over for their pristine clarity and high-headroom sonic performance, plus our 24 Bit/96kHz A/D-D/A converters will really respect your input. Both interfaces support Windows XP/Vista/7 plus Mac OS X and provide onboard phantom power for use with studio-grade condenser microphones. Hook up to the Behringer FCA Series and instantly turn your computer into a powerful recording/editing workstation.
The FCA Series allows you to converse with your computer in a language it understands... digital. When you connect line-level devices, such as synthesizers or the outputs of an audio mixer to an FCA1616 or FCA610, internal 24 bit A/D (Analog to Digital) converters swing into action, turning the audio signal into digital data. Now you can record and play back your masterpiece through a pair of active studio monitors or listen in the privacy of your favourite headphones.
Due to its small size and low-latency operation, 6 In / 10 Out architecture, plus 2 highly-acclaimed MIDAS designed mic preamps, the FCA610 is a dream come true for travelling musicians who record and edit on their laptops. The portable FCA610 can receive power from your computer's 6-pin FireWire bus or via the included external power supply. Built-in MIDI I/O allows you to connect keyboards and other outboard MIDI hardware. All standard I/O formats are supported including analog and S/PDIF (both coaxial and optical). The half-rack-space FCA610 stows easily in your travel kit.
On the rear panels of the FCA1616 and FCA610, you'll find ports for FireWire and USB 2.0. Inputs are balanced 1/4" jacks that accept a wide range of line-level devices. Outputs accept both balanced and unbalanced 1/4" connections. The two headphones jacks are conveniently located on the front panel, with a dedicated volume control.
Both Firepower FCA1616 and FCA610 interfaces feature state-of-the-art, high-resolution 24 bit A/D-D/A converters, supporting up to a 96kHz sampling rate. Reliable Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 drivers and Mac OS X support ensure ultra-low latency operation.
