Own a Focusrite Saffire Pro 10 i/o or Saffire Pro 26 i/o? If so, were you aware of the fact that they can be used as stand-alone mic preamps? It’s true. All you need to do is connect either model one time to a computer and set it up as a stand-alone mic preamp after which this feature is then saved and the unit will default to stand-alone mode at each power sequence until it is changed by the user.
Mix magazine raved about these preamps, which are clearly the finest available in their respective price categories. It’s not often that one piece of equipment can pull double-duty, but the Focusrite Saffires do so in style.
