With a wealth of features - including new dbx 63V high-voltage, ultra low noise mic preamps, dbx dynamics (comparator, limiter, gate) and EQ, a hardware monitor reverb, and a software suite that includes the new Pantheon II reverb plug-in – the Lexicon I•ONIX FW810S is more than just an 10-input, 12-output FireWire audio interface. It’s a pro recording studio in a single rack unit. Newly designed dbx mic preamps are included on every channel and run on a 63V supply to guarantee stability and provide you with a superior recording across a wide dynamic range. The preamps are extremely transparent with optimal headroom to deliver deeper lows, smoother highs, and an overall fuller sound that will outperform any other audio interface and many stand-alone mic preamps. Performance driven A/D – D/A converters ensure pristine 24-bit/96kHz audio. And with built-in dbx Type IV conversion, your digital recordings will preserve their dynamic range even when levels get too high. Many types of music, especially drums and vocals, can be very peaky and have a wide dynamic range. Now instead of hard clipping the peaks, your recordings will acquire that forgiving, oversaturated quality once only found on big analog recorders. Type IV conversion actually gives you more headroom, capturing the subtle details in higher level signals instead of hard clipping them. With so many powerful and useful recording tools, it’s more than just a FireWire audio interface. The I•ONIX FW810S is a complete hardware and software solution that turns your computer into a professional 24-bit/96 kHz recording studio.
