Due to its small size and low-latency
operation, 6 In / 10 Out architecture,
plus 2 highly-acclaimed MIDAS-designed
mic preamps, the FCA610 is a dream
come true for traveling musicians who
record and edit on their laptops. The
portable FCA610 can receive power
from your computer's 6-pin FireWire
bus or via the included external power
supply. Built-in MIDI I/O allows you to
connect keyboards and other outboard
MIDI hardware. All standard I/O formats
are supported including analog and
S/PDIF (both coaxial and optical).
The half-rack-space FCA610 stows
easily in your travel kit.
