audiofire2
audiofire2 Posted on: 08.12.2008 by Florence Alch Has anybody got one of these? Can you cue using the headphone output? Any ground loop issues? etc... Will it be able to power up with an Expresscard with a 6 pin IEEE 1394a firewire port? What's the sound quality like? cheers! | |

| Florence Alch 09.12.2008 | do you need the pre-amp? |
| Della Octania 09.12.2008 | most cards above 150 will probably be firewire. they dont make high-end usb soundcards because firewire is faster i have the audiofire2 and its a great soundcard for the price. The only gripe i have with it is that it doesnt have built in preamps, but i picked one up a cheap one off musiciansfriend for like $30US. |

| Roberto Viccione 09.12.2008 | Um... I don't have this problem and I run a shit ton of USB stuff (2 PadKontrols, an external hard drive, MidiFighter, Audio8). My serious lag problems have all been from running too much crap software wise. |

| Florence Alch 09.12.2008 | all in all its sounding like a good audio interface cheers for the info! So do people prefer the audiofire2 over the m-audio fast track pro? Im unsure on what to go for...the fast track pro is USB so I wouldn't need to buy an ExpressCard to FireWire port but I'v read issues with ground looping, also the m-audio looks like it has too many buttons and inputs for what I need it for. I like the simplicity of the audiofire2, I just wish it was USB. |
| Pat Klijn 08.12.2008 | sounds pretty good on a PA by my ears. |
| joe berryhill 08.12.2008 | Nice build quality too, aluminium case and small footprint. |
| joe berryhill 08.12.2008 | I have one and you can cue using the headphone output, used it with traktor 3.4 and pro, I've had no issues with it, runs great under vista. Sound quality is good to me but have never hooked it up to a PA/Club system, just hifi amp and speakers. It has 6 pin firewire, but as my lappie only has 4 pin, I've had to use external power. |
