Sound Is Everything

At the heart of every Focusrite interface – in fact of any Focusrite product – is sound quality. Our motto is “Sound is Everything” and nowhere is that more evident than here. Sound quality distinguishes Focusrite’s audio interfaces from the competition, with precision analogue/digital conversion – thanks to the highest quality components and careful circuit design – and Focusrite’s award-winning mic preamps, specially designed for our computer interface ranges and based on 30 years of design experience, to deliver clean, transparent sound with minimal noise and distortion.

Saffire interfaces are compatible with any DAW on Macintosh or Windows, and with the included Red 2 and Red3 AAX plugins, make perfect partners for Pro Tools.

16-in, 8-out and full control

Saffire PRO 24 includes two of Focusrite’s mic/line/instrument preamps, combined with an additional 14 inputs and eight outputs plus the very latest in mix control software and FireWire interfacing technology to deliver seamless integration, excellent routing flexibility, rock-solid driver stability, and that pristine Focusrite sound – which, as we’ve noted, is what it’s all about.

Saffire – sonic integrity

With Saffire PRO 24, sonic integrity reigns supreme. The two Focusrite preamps ensure low noise and distortion from any type of microphone, line or instrument input, and are accessed direct from the front panel. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, quality digital conversion and JetPLL™ jitter-elimination technology ensure pristine audio quality all the way, in both the analogue and digital domains.

In and out – flexibility and versatility

Alongside the two Focusrite preamps are a host of I/O options. On the input side there are two additional analogue inputs, and an ADAT input for expanding the interface – with, for example, Focusrite’s OctoPre MkII. Meanwhile there are six analogue outputs including a front panel headphone output with its own level control, a rear pair of monitor outputs with a front panel level control, plus stereo S/PDIF I/O and two virtual 'loopback' inputs for routing digital audio between software applications — ideal for capturing online audio. Front panel five-step LED metering is included for each analogue input, offering detailed viewing of levels.

Ultra-low-latency on-board DSP mixing

Saffire MixControl, the ultra-low-latency 18 x 8 DSP mixer/router software provided with Saffire PRO 24 sets a new standard for audio interface control. It features flexible output routing and monitoring, as well as intuitive one-click set-up solutions designed to help you track, monitor and mix as quickly as possible.

Focusrite’s Saffire PRO 24 is designed to capture every subtle nuance of your performance and delivers it seamlessly and effortlessly into the digital domain – and back – leaving you free to give your creative best in the freedom of the modern music-making experience.
