The units Assignable Level Controller can be switched to control four different signal levels (right). The front panel has a reassuring simplicity, with only two buttons and two rotary controls along with a headphone jack and a sprinkling of subtle LEDs. It follows the design cues of the larger 410 and the USB Audiophile (albeit with more muted colours) with brushed-aluminium finish and silver-coloured control knobs.
The sense of will it work or wont it engendered by the restrictions of USB, a connection originally intended for printers and scanners, and the resultant negative attitude towards it as a serious protocol for audio are not stigmas from which the Firewire Audiophile will suffer.Īlong with the power-supply unit and a CD containing drivers and manuals, they also include a software bundle comprising Ableton Live Delta, Arkaos VJ Lite, Propellerhead Reason Adapted, Dsound RT Player Express, IK Sampletank Free and Linplugs Free Alpha soft synth. With an SRP of 229 including VAT, and already just under 200 on the street, this interface breaks a psychological price barrier and competes with some of the higher-end USB interfaces such as the Tascam US122 and Emagic EMI 62 (and 26). MAudio, with their Firewire 410 (reviewed SOS March 2004), have expanded the market downward and continue this trend with the introduction of the Firewire Audiophile, taking what is now a family name from their ever-popular PCI interface and its USB sibling. In OS X this is chosen in the driver configuration window of the host application.
