Description
The new Phonic Firefly 808 Universal Rack-mountable preamplified unit with USB 2.0 and FireWire interface is an easyto-use, high-
quality recording interface for songwriters to record guitars, keyboards, vocals and more to the computer.Featured are 8 analog
(XLR and 1/4”) inputs and 8 analog (1/4”) outputs, as well as S/PDIF, AES/EBU, MIDI and ADAT inputs and outputs – all of which are
streamed to and from the computer in real time through the FireWire or USB connection in superb 24-bit audio. Compatible with the
most popular Digital Audio Workstation software, this powerful unit provides recording musicians and engineers alike with the kind
of sophisticated yet easy-to-use recording device they require.
