There are a few things that set a professional-quality recording rig apart from an entry-level system, and the Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56/Avid Pro Tools 9 bundle is a great example. On the front end, the Liquid Saffire gives you the I/O, DSP, and tonal pallet you need to track serious musicians. First, there's its 28-channels of inputs, comprised of S/PDIF, ADAT, and balanced mic and line inputs, including a pair of Focusrite's world-famous Liquid Preamplifiers. These Liquid Preamplifiers can conjure up tones made famous by Avalon, Focusrite, HELIOS, Manley, Milenia, Neve, Pultec, Telefunken, and Universal Audio, giving you a tremendous tone palette to select from.

The Liquid Saffire 56 also sports onboard DSP, giving you latency-free reverb, compression, EQ, and other great tools you need to track right in the first place. You also get DSP-based monitoring, which allows you to use these processors and set up advanced monitor paths, without latency. Now, add in Avid Pro Tools 9's amazing flexibility and plug-in power, which lets you edit, tweak, and mix your music to perfection, and the whole system comes together. And when you take $75 off the package, the Liquid Saffire 56/Pro Tools 9 bundle is one deal that's too good to pass up!

If you're like a lot of the recording engineers here at Sweetwater, then you probably grew up with stories of the legendary Focusrite Forte console and its ISA preamps. Our relationship with Focusrite is extremely tight, and we regularly enjoy everything from the inside scoop on new gear to fish and chips when they stop by Sweetwater. While Focusrite still produces the classic analog preamps, EQs, and compressors we love, our Sales Engineers are just as excited to introduce our customers to their remarkable RedNet network audio platform, and we have worked with Focusrite to outfit studios, churches, venues, and schools with this awesome technology in action. From everyday audio interfaces to full system designs, if you want Focusrite gear, Sweetwater has you covered.
