FCA610
Due to its small size and low-latency
operation, 6 In / 10 Out architecture,
plus 2 highly-acclaimed XENYX mic
preamps, the FCA610 is a dream come
true for traveling musicians who record
and edit on their laptops. The portable
FCA610 can receive power from your
computer's 6-pin FireWire bus or via
the included external power supply.
Built-in MIDI I/O allows you to connect
keyboards and other outboard MIDI
hardware. All standard I/O formats
are supported including analog and
S/PDIF (both coaxial and optical).
The half-rack-space FCA610 stows
easily in your travel kit.
Getting Connected
On the rear panels of the FCA1616
and FCA610, you’ll find ports for FireWire
and USB 2.0. Inputs are balanced 1/4" jacks
that accept a wide range of line-level
devices. Outputs accept both balanced
and unbalanced 1/4" connections. The two
headphones jacks are conveniently
located on the front panel, with a
dedicated volume control.
The Technical Stuff
Both FIREPOWER FCA1616 and
FCA610 interfaces feature state-of-the-art,
high-resolution 24-bit A/D-D/A
converters, supporting up to a 96 kHz
sampling rate. Reliable Windows XP,
Windows Vista, Windows 7 drivers and
Mac OS X support ensure ultra-low
latency operation.
