DISC Lexicon Ionix FW810S Firewire Audio Interface

Full Description

Includes a Wealth of Features

The Lexicon Ionix FW810S Firewire Audio Interface includes a wealth of features including dbx high-voltage, ultra low noise mic pre's, Pantheon II reverbs, and a powerful software mixing board with dbx dynamics and hardware monitor reverb the Lexicon IONIX FW810S is more than just an 8-in, 10-out FireWire audio interface. It's a pro recording studio contained in a single rack unit.

Ultra Low Noise dbx Mic Pre's

The Lexicon Ionix FW810S Firewire Audio Interface also features high-voltage, ultra low noise dbx mic pre's on every channel which provide optimal timbre and tonality on every track. And the newly updated Pantheon II plug-in provides smooth, lush Lexicon reverbs for creating ideal sonic spaces.

More Headroom to Capture Subtle Details

With built-in dbx Type IV conversion, your digital recordings will preserve their dynamic range even when levels get too high. They'll acquire that forgiving, oversaturated quality once only found on big analog recorders. Type IV conversion actually gives you more headroom, capturing subtle details in higher level signals instead of hard clipping them.

Powerful Software Mixer

Plus, the Lexicon IONIX FW810S adds a powerful software Mixer with integrated dbx dynamics (compresser, gate, limiter, EQ) to your digital audio workstation. The Mixer's true-to-life interface design feels familiar from the second you start it, making it easy to adjust levels, route signals through 8 inputs and 10 outputs, and apply and preview reverbs and dynamics. And the IONIX FW810S does the processing, so you can mix and fine tune your recordings in real time with zero latency. You can even save and load snapshots of mixer settings. Save and load up to five monitor mixes ? one for the main control mix, and up to four for individual band members.
