Liquid Saffire 56
Connect microphones, line- and instrument-level signals, and digital signals to your computer
Description
The Liquid Saffire 56 hardware interface provides the means for connecting microphones, line-level signals, instrument-level signals, and digital signals to your computer, which are then routed to your audio recording software / digital audio workstation (DAW).
The Liquid Saffire 56 features two Liquid Pre-amps. ‘Liquid’ refers to our hybrid microphone pre-amplifier technology, matching high quality Focusrite Mic pre design with meticulously sampled pre-amp emulations transporting classic front-end processing into the digital age.
All audio signals connected to the inputs, plus audio output from your computer programs are routed to the physical outputs for you to connect to an amp and speakers, powered monitors, headphones, analogue/digital mixer, and any other studio equipment that you wish to use. There are also connectors for sending and receiving MIDI.
The accompanying software application, Saffire MixControl provides further recording, routing and monitoring options, as well as the ability to control global hardware settings such as sample rate and synchronisation.
Saffire MixControl software provides mixing and routing to and from the DAW, allowing control over which signals are sent from the sequencer to each output. All inputs on the Liquid Saffire 56 are routed directly to your DAW software for recording, but Saffire MixControl also allows you to route these signals to your monitors so that you can listen to the audio signals with zero latency - before they arrive at your DAW.
