Got Liquid?
THE ONLY FIREWIRE AUDIO INTERFACE OVERFLOWING WITH LIQUID MIC-PRE TECHNOLOGY
A single mic-pre just won’t do. You need options. Having a choice
of mic-pres is often the source of a producer’s magic; their path
to a signature sound that truly makes a hit record. A Neve 1073 to
make the most of a silky female vocal. A Focusrite Red to capture
every subtle detail of a 12-string acoustic guitar.
To date, this has only been an option for the elite few - until now.
Liquid mic-pre technology fuses cutting-edge analogue
design with a unique Dynamic Convolution sampling process to
deliver the fi nest mic-pre emulations possible. Liquid Saffi re 56
combines Liquid technology with Saffi re PRO fi rewire interfacing
to provide a professional and fl exible audio interface with sound
options you just can’t do without.
