The Focusrite Saffire is a new FireWire audio interface from Focusrite. We saw a mockup of it at the NAMM show earlier this year and now the final production model is available. The 10 in 10 out Saffire features 24-bit 192kHz integrated A-D and D-A with on board DSP for ultra-low latency work. And of course, it bears the Focusrite name.
