M-Audio Firewire Audiophile – Audio Recording Interface. Condition is Used. Dispatched with Royal Mail 1st Class.
Overview
The unit itself has an elegant case intended for the desktop, measuring 184 x 140 x 42mm. It follows the design cues of the larger 410 and the USB Audiophile (albeit with more muted colours) with brushed-aluminium finish and silver-coloured control knobs. The front panel has a reassuring simplicity, with only two buttons and two rotary controls along with a headphone jack and a sprinkling of subtle LEDs.

The unit’s Assignable Level Controller can be switched to control four different signal levels (right).Round the back there are two unbalanced analogue inputs using RCA sockets at -10dBV line level, four analogue unbalanced outputs with identical spec, co-axial RCA connectors for S/PDIF input and output, MIDI In and Out sockets, a power-supply connector and two six-pin Firewire 1394 sockets the second is useful for connecting further Firewire devices if your host computer has only one port. The S/PDIF output should support pass-through of AC3 and DTS-encoded multi-channel digital audio for connection to a suitable decoder, although at the time of writing there was an issue with DTS awaiting a driver revision.There are no mic preamps or associated phantom power options (as there are with the 410) but the software-assignable ‘Level Controller’ remains. By default it controls the monitor level of the analogue outputs, but it can also be assigned to any group of mixer output faders in the Audiophile’s control panel. This selection comprises:
Software return that is, the level of the three stereo pairs running from the host software to the virtual mixer.Output levels of the three stereo pairs of outputs (two analogue pairs and one digital pair).Input levels of the analogue input pair and digital input pair.Auxiliary send buss level.Next to the headphone socket is a switch that selects the monitor source (in conjunction with the Headphones source settings in the hardware page of the control panel). There are LEDs to indicate headphone source monitor status, S/PDIF input and output (in the presence of a valid signal) and power, where steady status indicates a valid connection to the host computer.
