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.

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.

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 [-]

I never got so much bang for my buck. This think does everything I need it to and then some. Manufacturing is good solid quality.

Excellent, full-featured sound module

by from Long Island, NY

Music Background: semi-pro musician
This is an impressive sound module. I was replaced a reliable but dated Aardvark system. I wanted to avoid USB due to potential bandwith issues and opted for Firewire. I had originally planned to ge... read more [+]t a similar Firewire module but I called Sweetwater to chat with them first before placing the order. I'm glad I did. The Focusrite hadn't really crossed my radar screen but I took a serious look at it after the SW rep suggested the device, did some more research and then decided to purchase the device.

The device has an excellent build quality and is cleanly laid out. Three green status LEDs indicate connection status. I would have liked to see an LED for midi activity, but this is very minor.

The first thing I noticed when I hooked it up was that there was no noise when the gain is turned all the way up. Even with a pair of headphones on the monitor out cranked all the way up there is almost nothing to be heard. Very impressive.

I did have some initial trouble with noice coming from the Firewire line. This was digitial noise originating from my old music computer that coupled to the outputs on the Focusrite. I tried a stand-alone sound card but that didn't help. When I installed it the focusrite in my newer office machine, however the noise was gone. I wound up replacing the old music computer (I was going to do it anyway) and replaced it with a modern Gigabit/Intel IC5 machine; no noise and it works great.

The fidelity on this thing is phenomenal. Again, I don't spend my days in a recording studio, but this device sounds far and away better than anything else I have ever owned.

I run it at the fastest latency settings (about 3 ms in and 5 ms out) in Sonar on the new machine and it doesn't hiccup, even with all four analog inputs AND the SPDIF being captured. Pretty impressive.

The driver software is very reliable and easy to use. The ASIO drivers have not given any trouble whatsoever.

Overall this has been a great piece of gear and has brought my sound production to a new level. close [-]
