Computer recording for the musician on the go.

The Echo AudioFire2 is an extremely small FireWire audio interface that's packed with lots of features. AudioFire2 has two audio channels with fully balanced I/O, headphone jack with volume control, S/PDIF I/O, and MIDI I/O, all in a 3.5" x 4.25" interface.

Power is provided directly from the FireWire bus or from the supplied power source. MIDI and S/PDIF are available via a removable dongle for compact flexibility. With the AudioFire2 you can record 24 bit 96kHz audio with low latency monitoring on any Windows XP or Mac OS X computer (desktop or notebook) with a FireWire port.
