Audio interface that packs eight incredible-value preamps with high-quality A/D-D/A conversion and a FireWire interface platform

Show full description »

Featuring the same preamps and converters as its larger sibling, Focusrite's latest Saffire solution once again delivers a level of performance never before seen in its price bracket. Saffire PRO 10 i/o features the same highly integrated i/o and monitoring control software, SaffireControl PRO, and can allow for larger recording solutions via the option to aggregate multiple units, all controlled via the same control platform.

Housed within a similar stunning 19” rack-mount case with detachable rack ears, Saffire Pro 10i/o combines eight channels of Focusrite pre-amplification with eight balanced line outputs and stereo SPDIF i/o. The pre-amps featured in Saffire PRO 10 i/o are a derivative of the award-winning Green Series. This pre-amp design upholds the same high bandwidth philosophy whilst boasting class-leading specifications. In addition, the converters adhere to performance specifications far beyond other similarly priced interfaces. As with all Saffire solutions, the unit can be either bus-powered or powered via an external PSU. The unit has also been designed to take full advantage of the external PSU and to maximize performance when powered in this way.

SaffireControl PRO delivers a control application that avoids any annoying dropdown menus and provides comprehensive custom mix solutions. It also offers quick-select ‘tracking’ and ‘playback’ solutions, as well as both the float and shrink/expand facilities found in the original.

Saffire Pro 10 i/o also features MIDI I/O alongside a host of additional processing features, including high pass filters on every channel and two channels with DI and assignable insert points.

The front fascia also boasts two independent headphones outputs with volume control, again customizable within SaffireControl PRO.

In addition to the control software, Saffire Pro 10i/o comes bundled with the same acclaimed Compression, Reverb, Amp Modeling and EQ VST/AU plug-ins for use in the mix.

Features:

  • 8 Line inputs
  • 8 Outputs
  • 8 XLR mic inputs
  • SPDIF in/out
  • MIDI in/out
  • Firewire connection

Focusrite Saffire PRO 10 I/O

— Michael Busuttil January 18, 2008

Well, I\\\\\\\'ve had a few sound interfaces and cards in my time but nothing comes close to this stunning unit!
Superb mic pre amps (best I\\\\\\\'ve heard) and enough ins/outs including digital connections to plug in your harware and microphones.
Totaly professional looking and sounding unit.
If you are looking for a sound interface for life, look no further.

Focusrite Saffire PRO 10 I/O

— Chris Hampson January 15, 2008

Whilst already owning the excellent Tascam US-144, I needed more XLR preamps to simultaneously record multiple close-miked instruments/vocals and use a stereo setup combined with spot-miking an orchestral soloist. As much as I like the Tascam, the Focusrite , as well as possessing 10 inputs (including 8 high-quality XLRs), transformed my recording results. This was simply due to the outstanding preamps available on this unit. I am not alone in thinking that these are some of the best available on the market. Combined with the low noise NT1-As, the full dynamic of a piano or orchestral is fully captured, crystal clear, and with an amazingly low noise floor.

The output section of the software control panel looks slightly daunting at first and could perhaps be designed better but actually is quite easy to use once you find your way around. Through the firewire connection, the interface works flawlessly and most people can quite happily load their DAW and forget about the Focusrite control panel. However, the monitor mixing section is adjustable to nearly any setup you can think of and the unit is even capable of operating without a computer connection (although you will obviously need the included external PSU for this).

As an added bonus, the interface ships with some software VST plugins (EQ, compression, reverb etc) and while I prefer the Samplitude 10 in-house plugins, these are generally high quality and would be a fine addition to any home studio.

I find that the Saffire can fit into a laptop bag and is capable of powering purely from the firewire making it an ideal choice for the traveling sound engineer who does not want to skimp on quality.

The unit looks, feels and sounds professional. For the price, the pre-amps are a steal and I promise that you will not be disappointed by this product.
