The name given for the special protocol used by Mark of the Unicorn to deliver digital audio between some of their audio interfaces and their computer sound cards. The connector is a conventional looking Firewire connector, but the data is a proprietary format developed by MOTU. Some MOTU products do use actual Firewire, which can be plugged directly into any conventional Firewire equipped computer. The Audiowire products all plug into a special card that must be installed in the PCI slot of a computer.
