M-AUDIO FW1814 Audio Interface The M-Audio FireWire-1814 recording interface, is the company's first FireWire interface with ADAT Lightpipe connectivity. It features an 18 in/14 out audio interface complete with MIDI, word clock, and a host of other features. The unit has an 8 x 4 analog I/O (1/4") at up to 24-bit/96kHz. It also boasts 192kHz on the first two analog inputs and all four analog outputs. Channels 1 and 2 also include mic/instrument preamps with front-panel Neutrik jacks, gain controls, phantom power and pads. S/PDIF coaxial/optical digital I/O provides 2-channel PCM, as well as pass-through of surround-encoded AC-3 and DTS material. 8 x 8 ADAT Lightpipe I/O rounds out the FW1814 design. The Lightpipe connectivity can be used as either eight channels at 48kHz or four channels at 96kHz utilizing S/MUX support. The unit's internal mixer allows virtually any input to route to any output, including software routing to an aux send channel that can be used as either an effects send or as a monitor mix. It features a front-panel momentary switch with LED status indicator for direct monitoring on/off or A/B DJ-style pre-cueing. The FireWire-1814 also sports two headphone amplifiers with individually assigned sources from software and independent level controls, providing a great deal of monitoring flexibility for collaborative work. A front-panel rotary knob also affords realtime control of software-assignable outputs, inputs, software returns or aux send.
