• Reviews around gain (5.00 of 5)

    Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 Professional 20 In/20 Out Firewire Audio Interface with Eight Pre-Amps

    • Not enough gain for some mics where it might be
    • While I could always use a bit more gain headroom on any preamp, one must consider that if you're trying to record something with these (or any) preamps and you find you are not getting enough gain, you should probably just move the mic
    • The gain pots for each channel are exponential (non-linear) and most of the useful gain is in the last 25% of the turn
    • Even my m-audio dmp3 had some decent gain in it
    • The 2x2 phantom power works as excepted however I would have liked to see 4 separate phantom power channels rather than groupings for inputs 1-2 and 3-4
