Fairlight Audio Interface

Fairlight Audio Interface

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.
