APPENDIX 4
If you’re recording a full band, the FireWire 1814’s with its eight balanced
analogue inputs and four balanced analogue outputs, makes a better choice
(especially if you get the optional eight-channel Octane preamp). It also has
eight channels of digital input and output via optical ‘Lightpipe’ connectors,
along with word clock synchronization for seamless communication with
devices such as ADATs, DA-88s, and digital mixers.

The FireWire 1814 and FireWire 410 both support up to 24-bit/96 kHz with
Pro Tools M-Powered. (When used with software supporting even higher data
rates, the FireWire 410 can output two channels at 192 kHz, and the FireWire
1814 goes so far as 2 × 4 analog at 192 kHz.) Both units have great dual mic/
instrument preamps, as well as dual simultaneously active headphone amps
with convenient individual front-panel controls and 1/4” outputs.
These compact studios literally fit in a backpack (M-Audio even make the
backpack) and are amazingly powerful and convenient for remote recording.
Again, the files you record at a gig, in the field or on the road are session-
compatible with full Pro Tools systems at professional studios around the world.
