M Audio Profire Lightbridge Firewire Sound Card
The M Audio Profire Lightbridge Firewire Sound Card is highly recommended by Inta Audio. The ProFire Lightbridge interfaces up to four Lightpipe devices with a PC or Mac via FireWire—perfect for integrating digital mixers, AD/DA converters and/or ADATs with most popular DAW software. The unit is capable of 32 channels of Lightpipe I/O, S/PDIF I/O and two-channel analogue output for a total of 34 x 36 concurrent channels at 44.1 or 48kHz sample rates. (It also supports 16-channel Lightpipe operation at 88.2 and 96kHz sample rates via the SMUX protocol.) The ProFire Lightbridge can output word clock as a master, or slave to external sync on any input, and MIDI I/O also accommodates MIDI Time Code and MIDI Machine Control. Independent volume controls are provided for the ¼” balanced outputs and front panel ¼” headphone jack. The ProFire Lightbridge is compatible with most DAW software.
The Perfect Companion for Digital Mixers
The ProFire Lightbridge is designed with today's digital mixers and workflow in mind. Record up to 32 Lightpipe tracks to your computer-based DAW simultaneously from a digital mixer. Or use your mixer to submix up to 32 DAW tracks while sending the submix back to the DAW via S/PDIF. Using the mixer's built-in processing and automation leaves more CPU power for specific tracks that require CPU-intensive plug-ins.
Build a Custom I/O Setup
ProFire Lightbridge plays nice with others too. Pick any ADAT-compatible A/D or D/A converter and utilize M-Audio's fast and reliable FireWire driver technology to get the most out of your DAW. Need to transfer tracks between an ADAT system and your computer? The ProFire Lightbridge can do it with ease. Send up to 32 channels of Lightpipe simultaneously at 44.1 or 48kHz-or transfer up to 16 channels at 88.2 or 96kHz using the SMUX protocol.
Live Multitrack Recording
Combine the ProFire Lightbridge with up to four 8-channel preamps with Lightpipe ouputs and you have a compact system for recording up to 32 Lightpipe channels of input for live shows. This would also fare well in studio applications where a large amount of simultaneous channels are needed. And since the ProFire Lightbridge can also handle SMUX, it's possible to have up to 16 simultaneous inputs at sample rates up to 96kHz.
