Focusrite Saffire6 USB Audio Interface
Saffire 6 USB Overview
The Focusrite Saffire 6 USB is a two-in/four-out USB audio interface. It uses the same award-winning Focusrite mic preamps as the rest of the Saffire range. This makes it the best value, and best sounding interface in its class. It is ultra reliable and easy to set up, providing you with the simplest route to record into, and play back from your computer. It has lower latency than any of its rivals, and professional analogue-to-digital converters ensure you get the best possible signal into your recording software.
The Saffire 6 USB comes with Ableton Live Lite 8, Novation's Bass Station synthesizer and over a gigabyte of samples. In addition to all this, you get the Focusrite FX Suite, which includes a compressor, gate, reverb and EQ to upgrade your standard AU/VST effects.
The Saffire 6 USB is the easiest way of getting the classic Focusrite mic preamp into your recording set-up.
Key features:
Two award-winning Focusrite preamps
The best sounding interface in its class. Focusrite's famous preamp legacy forms the foundation of this new interface, with two high-quality input stages.
Ultra-reliable and easy to set up
Saffire 6 USB is simple to set up and easy to use, allowing you to concentrate on recording and playing back. It is also very reliable, ideal for use as a portable interface for use on stage and on location.
High-quality 24-bit USB interface
Features the best A-D/D-A conversion in its class; pristine audio quality, super-low latency and reliable synchronisation are guaranteed.
Ready for DJs
Four RCA outputs, high-level headphone output and class-leading digital converter performance make Saffire 6 USB the ideal interface for the laptop DJ.
Xcite+ Software Bundle
Featuring a host of royalty-free loops and samples, a full-fledged soft-synth and Ableton Live Lite 8, providing an affordable upgrade path to Ableton Live.
Focusrite VST/AU Plug-in Suite, for use in the mix
Upgrade your standard sequencer effects and bring a touch of class to your session with all-new Focusrite Compression, Reverb, Gating and EQ VST/AU plug-ins.
Dedicated switchable front-panel headphone bus
Monitor either the main mix or cue mix via headphones, all switchable from the front panel.
Dedicated input/playback mix dial
Blend your monitor mix between what you're recording and the audio from the computer, for true zero-latency monitoring.
Bus-powered for a tidy mobile recording rig
Saffire 6 USB is powered via USB, with no need for an additional power supply.
Two Hi Z instrument inputs
No need for a separate DI. Saffire 6 USB provides instrument inputs with switchable high gain.
Tactile Monitor dial
A front panel volume dial provides immediate control over the main stereo outputs.
Switchable phantom power
Available across both mic pre inputs, globally switchable direct from the front fascia.

With two mic pres, multiple outputs and MIDI I/O, the Saffire 6 USB can be at the centre of your home recording setup. However, its rock-solid reliability means that you can take it out and record on location with confidence. The two-in, four-out configuration is perfect for laptop DJs who need to be able to cue up material, or send two different signals to either side of a DJ mixer.
