Focusrite SAFFIRE LE 24 Bit/96 kHz FireWire Audio/MIDI Interface

Package includes:
Novation
Xcite Pack


Six inputs and eight outputs (including stereo digital I/O) with comprehensive monitoring and i/o control options ensure the recording musician has plenty of options for tracking and monitoring high quality audio. Focusrite build and sound quality, intelligent front-end design and a one-click GUI solution combine to guarantee an intuitive and trouble-free professional recording experience.

Although only the original Saffire has onboard DSP, the SAFFIRE LE comes complete with the entire Saffire plug-in suite, offering highly acclaimed Compression, Reverb, Amp modeling and EQ in VST and AU formats. Furthermore, Saffire LE is bundled with a host of other software titles and audio samples, all included on the accompanying resources dvd.

As with the original Saffire, input and output levels and latency-free monitoring solutions can all be controlled via the accompanying SaffireControl LE software. This stylish application floats comfortably over any recording software, and can shrink in size to suit a number of different recording scenarios. Together with expertly designed analogue inputs and unrivalled digital conversion, Saffire LE is the perfect solution for discerning recording musicians on a budget.

User thoughts
"I've been pretty busy recording with the Saffire Card you sent me and I'm extremely impressed. I replaced a TC Konnect 24D card that broke. I'm 100% convinced the Saffire has better A/D converters, and about 90% convinced the Saffire has better clarity; tops, bottoms, and even mids were crystal clear. The 2 cards are very close in quality, with both being light years ahead of Motu and M-Audio products in the same price range(both of which I've owned). I got a chance to record vocals, live guitar and live bass, and the quality was noticeably better than the 24D.

Sound quality aside, driver installation was a breeze, and quite relief after experiencing nightmares with the 24D. I still don't think they have stable drivers yet for the 24D. I admit I was skeptical at 1st because of the term "LE" is against my musical religion, but damn, that card is sounding great!"
Marshall Jefferson - God Father of House

"I had not heard of Focusrite nor the Saffire LE when I went to the dealer. I was planning to buy an MBox2. The salesman adamantly recommended Saffire LE for price/quality/reliability.

Boy was he right! This is my first venture into home recording and I was extremely hesitant to invest. But the sound is excellent -- far better than I would have imagined -- and the product is indeed rock-solid. I have had no difficulty recording microphones, analogue line inputs, and digital S/PDIF inputs. I can record all 6 inputs simultaneously.

The one comment he made that was very helpful -- he told me to READ THE MANUALS before I concluded anything didn't work. He has been right many times over. High-quality digital recording is not plug and play -- there are too many parameters to tweak. For example, initially my digital input sounded awful with a high-pitched tone. Upon very careful reading I realized I had to synchronize both my recording software (Cubase SE3) and Saffire LE software to the sample rate of the synth, which was 48 kHz.

Good work and great price."
Paul Rosenberg - Keyboard Player - USA

"I bought a Focusrite Saffire LE a few weeks ago from Digital Village (for my own amusement) and I'm absolutely knocked out by it. More than that though, I am very very impressed with the amount of support I've received from the support team. I had various issues, all of which were replied to promptly and with informed and helpful fixes. So I am a very happy camper."
