Model: Onyx FireWire(Discont.)
Flagship 16-channel Analog Mixer, with 24-bit/96kHz FireWire
I/O
TAKING "PLUG-AND-PLAY" TO A WHOLE NEW
LEVEL
The Onyx FireWire Card is a true first. This user-installable
24-bit/96kHz card transforms the Onyx 1220, 1620 and 1640 mixers
into fantastic-sounding digital audio interfaces capable of sending
up to 18 channels of audio to your Mac or PC — without the
need for additional converter boxes or hardware. Thanks to the use
of flagship Onyx mic preamps, superior analog circuitry, and
class-leading A/D converters, Onyx mixers with FireWire rival the
sound quality of dedicated audio interfaces costing many times
more. Not to mention the simplicity of plugging in up to 16
microphones and sending them directly from the mixer to your
computer... and monitoring a stereo mix back through the
mixer. |

UP TO 18 CHANNELS W/ ADJUSTABLE SAMPLE
RATE
The Onyx FireWire Card allows you to stream up to 18 channels of
24-bit digital audio to your Mac (OSX 10.3.5 or greater) or PC (Win
XP). These show up in your audio software as 16 individual audio
inputs, plus a stereo L/R mix. You can also send two channels of
audio back from the computer to the mixer for monitoring
purposes.
Audio coming back from the computer is conveniently monitored
through the Control Room Source matrix, where it is routed to the
Phones, Control Room, or Main Mix outputs.
Additionally, you can select the sample rate for the
analog-to-digital converters in either the Onyx Control Panel (on
the PC) or directly from your audio software (on the Mac — no
control panel needed). Sample rate options include 44.1 kHz, 48
kHz, 88.2 kHz, and 96 kHz at 24 bits.
A HUB OF
ACTIVITY
The Onyx FireWire card features two 6-pin FireWire connectors that
each supply all 16 channels plus the L/R mix. Having dual
connectors allows you to place the Onyx mixer anywhere within a
chain of FireWire-equipped devices. You can even daisy-chain two
16-channel Onyx mixers via FireWire and send a whopping 32 mic
signals right to your laptop. (PC only; Mac support for mixer
chaining coming soon.) This makes for a very high-quality live
recording rig that conveniently fits in the back seat of your
car.
ADJUSTABLE MAIN MIX
TRIM
The Onyx FireWire card has a small rotary knob that provides boost
and cut for the L/R mix signal being sent to your computer. Since
the L/R mix signal is tapped prior to the Main Mix fader, this
rotary knob gives you control over the signal level going to your
audio software application without affecting your main mix level
— a very convenient feature for live recording.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET
RECORDING
The CD-ROM included with the Onyx FireWire card contains all the
necessary drivers for PC, plus a software Control Panel. On a Mac,
just plug in the FireWire cable and Onyx mixers will immediately
show up as a 14x2 or 18x2 Core Audio device. (How's that for
plug-and-play!)
The CD also contains the full version of Tracktion, our easy to-use
multitrack recording and sequencing software for the PC and Mac.
(And now, the Onyx FireWire Card includes a free upgrade to
Tracktion 2.) So an Onyx mixer, a FireWire card, and a computer is
literally all you need to start recording and producing music.
