FW-1804 FireWire Audio/MIDI Interface
I
f you're looking for a busload of
high-quality line inputs, mic pre-
amps, MIDI ports and digital I/O in
a compact rackmount package, the
FireWire-based FW-1804 really deliv-
ers. Priced and sized for home studios,
it's ideal for rooms that already have –
or don't have the room for – a mixing
console or fader controller. The included
48-track Cubase LE software takes full
advantage of the FW-1804's 96kHz/24-
bit recording resolution, delivering
monster-truck recording power in a
subcompact parking space.
The FW-1804 has a generous variety
of audio options for interfacing with
your studio. Four microphone inputs,
each with phantom power for pro con-
denser mics, record to multiple tracks
for later overdubbing or mixdown. Each
has an analog insert point, so you can
insert a compressor to keep from dis-
torting. Up to eight line level signals
can be recorded or mixed simultane-
ously – such as synthesizers or multi-
effects processors. The eight-channel
ADAT optical digital interface – plus
a stereo digital S/PDIF I/O – are ideal
for pristine-quality transfers to digital
consoles or samplers.
Applications Guide
A full-featured MIDI interface is in-
cluded in the FW-1804 with two MIDI
inputs and four MIDI outputs, so you
can control 64 channels of synths and
modules.
A bundle of professional recording
software comes with the FW-1804,
providing a powerful production so-
lution right out of the box. Steinberg's
Cubase LE is a 48-track, 96kHz audio
recording workstation application. It
includes 64 MIDI tracks with sophisti-
cated editing features, VST plug-in and
instrument support, ReWire support
and an upgrade path to Cubase SX.
TASCAM's GigaStudio 3 LE software
sampling instrument offers 64-voice
polyphony, 16-channel multitimbral
MIDI, ReWire and VST plug-in support,
and is compatible with all GigaStudio
sample libraries –the best in the world.
You even get a demo copy of Nomad
Legends effects plug-ins and a bonus
delay plug-in.
Whether you don't have the space,
need or budget for a big control sur-
face, the FW-1804 provides the killer
I/O of our groundbreaking FW-1884
in a rackmount package that fi ts in
any studio.
