Lexicon IONIX FW810S Firewire Audio Interface

The Lexicon IONIX FW810S Firewire Audio Interface is a professional recording studio contained in a single rack unit.
With a wealth of features – including dbx high-voltage, ultra low noise microphone pre’s, Pantheon II reverbs, and a powerful software mixing board with dbx dynamics and hardware monitor reverb – the Lexicon IONIX FW810S is more than just an 8 inch, 10-out Firewire audio interface.

IONIX FW810S Features:

• Type IV conversion emulates tape saturation at high levels
• Zero latency mixer hardware plug-in with dbx dynamics and hardware monitor reverb
• Zero latency Lexicon monitor reverb
• dbx high-voltage, ultra low noice microphone pre's on all 8 channels
• dbx dynamics (compressor, limiter, gate, EQ) on all 8 channels

The high-voltage, ultra low noise dbx microphone pre’s on every channel provide optimal timbre and tonality on every track. And the newly updated Pantheon II plug-in provides smooth, lush Lexicon reverbs for creating ideal sonic spaces.

With built-in dbx Type IV conversion, your digital recordings will preserve their dynamic range even when levels get too high. They’ll acquire that forgiving, oversaturated quality once only found on big analog recorders. Type IV conversion actually gives you more headroom, capturing subtle details in higher level signals instead of hard clipping them.

Plus, the Lexicon IONIX FW810S adds a powerful software Mixer with integrated dbx dynamics (compressor, gate, limiter, EQ) to your digital audio workstation. The Mixer’s true-to-life interface design feels familiar from the second you start it, making it easy to adjust levels, route signals through 8 inputs and 10 outputs, and apply and preview reverbs and dynamics. And the IONIX FW810S does the processing, so you can mix and fine tune your recordings in real time with zero latency. You can even save and load snapshots of mixer settings. Save and load up to five monitor mixes – one for the main control mix, and up to four for individual band members. Or assign the IONIX FW810S to start up with a snapshot.

The powerful software Mixer lets you easily route signal paths and apply real-time dynamics (compressor, limiter, gate) and EQ adjustments. The Ionix software suite also includes the new Pantheon II reverb plug-in from Lexicon and Toontrack’s EZ Drummer Lite. And it all works together seamlessly in Cubase LE 4 (also included).

With so many powerful and useful recording studio tools, it’s more than just a FireWire interface. It’s the Lexicon IONIX FW810S.
