The FocusRite Saffire 6 USB Audio Interface 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.

With 2 mic-pres, multiple outputs and MIDI I/O, the FocusRite Saffire 6 USB can be at the centre of your home recording set-up. However, its reliability means that you can take it out and record on location with confidence. The 2 in 4 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.

This is FocusRite's most affordable interface to date, and it comes with Ableton Live Lite 7, 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 FocusRite Saffire 6 USB Audio Interface is certainly the easiest way of getting the classic FocusRite mic-pre into your recording set-up.
