M-Audio PROFIRE LIGHTBRIDGE Firewire Lightpipe Interface
SKU
MPFLIGHTBRIDGE
The ProFire Lightbridge interfaces up to four Lightpipe devices with a PC or Mac via FireWire—perfect for integrating digital mixers, AD/DA converters and/or ADATs with most popular DAW software. The unit is capable of 32 channels of Lightpipe I/O, two channels of S/PDIF I/O and two-channel analog output for a total of 34 x 36 concurrent channels at 44.1 or 48kHz sample rates. (It also supports 16-channel Lightpipe operation at 88.2 and 96kHz sample rates via the S/MUX protocol.) The ProFire Lightbridge can output word clock as a master, or slave to external sync on any input, and MIDI I/O also accommodates MIDI Time Code and MIDI Machine Control. Independent volume controls are provided for the ¼” balanced outputs and front panel ¼” headphone jack. The ProFire Lightbridge is compatible with most DAW software including Pro Tools M-Powered 7.3 and higher*.
The Perfect Companion for Digital Mixers:
The ProFire Lightbridge is designed with today’s digital mixers and workflow in mind. Record up to 32 Lightpipe tracks to your computer-based DAW simultaneously from a digital mixer. Or use your digital mixer to submix up to 32 DAW tracks while sending the submix back to the DAW via S/PDIF. Using a mixer’s built-in processing and automation leaves more CPU power for specific tracks that require CPU-intensive plug-ins.
