M Audio 1814 FireWire Audio Interface  Non-Factory Sealed  Item #: NFS MIIFW1814 

The M Audio FireWire 1814 is an 18-in, 14-out FireWire audio and MIDI interface including 8 channels of ADAT Lightpipe interface and 8 x 4 analog input-output.
Complete with two channels of mic-instrument preamps, this exciting new piece is perfect for project studios that want to go all digital. The ADAT Lightpipe IO allows you to bring ADAT tracks into your software studio, and connect directly with other digital gear such as digital mixers and M Audio's new Octane preamp. Other features include 192kHz fidelity on 2 inputs and all four analog outputs, SPDIF digital IO with support for PCM, AC-3 and DTS, flexible internal mixing with assignable rotary encoder and a front-panel momentary switch for DJ-style headphone auditioning between two assignable sources.
