Incredible Flexibility, Pro Quality, Great Price

When you want to get your mic or instrument signal to your DAW with the highest possible quality, then you need Focusrite. And now, Focusrite packs that unparalleled quality into a compact, feature-rich, desktop-friendly FireWire interface that's priced well within your reach. The Saffire PRO 14 gives you an 8-in/6-out box that's absolutely loaded with great stuff - starting with two award-winning Focusrite preamps. You also get an onboard low-latency 18 x 6 DSP mixer, an amazing suite of VST/AU processing plug-ins, Ableton Live Lite 8 software, and even a bundle of outstanding loops and synths. Ready to get great results? Then you're ready for the Saffire PRO 14!



Focusrite designed the Saffire PRO 14 to put pro quality in your desktop or mobile rig, and that's exactly what it delivers. In addition to this 24-bit/96kHz interface's two premium Focusrite preamps and XLR combo inputs, the Saffire PRO 14 gives you a pair of hi-Z inputs; it's ready for both mics and instruments - no need for an additional DI! Use bus power and take the Saffire PRO 14 on the road, or choose the included power supply. You get an elegantly clean front-panel layout, with a pair of gain knobs, a monitor level knob, a dedicated headphone volume control, and a phantom power switch. The XLR combo jacks are also conveniently located on the front of the Saffire PRO 14. You also get S/PDIF and MIDI I/O!

The Saffire PRO 14 isn't just a premium FireWire interface. It's an in-the-box recording solution! The onboard Saffire MixControl DSP mixer/router gives you amazingly flexible routing capability, so you can take full advantage of the great sound you get from the interface. The DSP mixer works with exceptionally low latency, for accurate, comfortable monitoring. Focusrite bundled the Saffire PRO 14 with an astounding collection of processing plug-ins, virtual synths, loops, and even Ableton Live Lite 8 production software. This package adds even more value to the already astonishing deal you get on the interface.

All Focusrite FireWire interfaces are fully compatible with Thunderbolt using a simple FireWire to Thunderbolt adapter. Focusrite fully supports the use of Thunderbolt with its FireWire interfaces.

Sweetwater ALWAYS exceeds my expectation in sales, customer service and knowledge on the gear being sold to me. Sweetwater is my #1 choice to buy equipment from the first time I ordered. I find of great value the fact that I don't feel like one more customer, rather THE customer.

Very Impressive Interface

by Ben T. from RI

Music Background: Musician
I've been very impressed with the Saffire Pro 14. After using a couple other products in the same price range, this is by far the most solid (performance wise) and easy to use unit. This is the first... read more [+] time I've used firewire instead of USB and I am very happy with the switch. The unit's design is concise yet functional, just the way I prefer it. The two inputs on the front are the ones I use the most, and I can plug my monitors and sub into the back outputs. Simple, reliable, speedy. Can't imagine a better buy for the price. close [-]

Great Basic Gear

by John Traugut from PA USA
November 13, 2012
Music Background: One-time concert pianist/vocal accompanist turned EE
This is one solid piece of basic gear to interface your audio and your computer at 24/96k ! Qualty of build and sound can't be beat! Better than 0.001% distortion plus 2 mic preamps with 48V phantom... read more [+] power.

The only drawback, for some, is the Firewire interface. Those cables are stubbornly stiff and I don't think the plugs are all that swell, not that USB is anything to write home about mechanically , either.

I would prefer a somewhat more substantial and flexible power supply wire, but other brands are no better. The impressively small 12V/1.25A wall wart produces impressively small hum that's 115dB down on a spectrum analyser. close [-]

Love It!

This interface is low end price with big end sound. I used to use an Mbox Mini, after that I used a Digi 002. The Pro 14 was less expensive than either of my previous interfaces and had better pre amp... read more [+]s and converters.

First of all let's talk about the pres. The pres are nice and clean. They also provide a good amount of gain without adding much noise.

I also love how much it can push my speakers. I've tried other interfaces that can't wouldn't provide as much volume to my speakers but the Pro 14 does great.

The midi inputs work great. Very responsive.

The only thing I don't like about this interface is that I had to load the MixControl software from Focusrite to get it to work. I haven't used the MixControl much. I may like it once I get to know it a little better.

Overall its a great interface. Can't see myself upgrading for a while. close [-]
