Description
Fairlight Audio Interface is a professional audio post production I/O interface with an extensive variety of analog and digital inputs and outputs, preamps for microphones and instruments, built in sample rate conversion, sync at any standard frame rate and dual 9-pin control ports! Fairlight Audio Interface requires Fairlight Audio Accelerator and connects to the Fairlight Audio Interface with a supplied proprietary interface cable.
