ESI Announces DuaFire FireWire Audio Interface

(Click for a close-up)

ESI announces DuaFire, the world's first FireWire audio interface that supports ESI's exclusive EWDM technology. ESI finally adopted the famous EWDM technology to the DuaFire FireWire Audio interface. Now you can use driver interfaces like ASIO 2.0, GSIF 2.0, MME and WDM simultaneously with the same features that made ESI's PCI audio interfaces famous, the EWDM driver. EWDM for FireWire also provides the DirectWIRE technology- the virtual digital patch-bay and support for ultra low latency values (as low as 1.5ms or even less).

DuaFire is an ideal mobile recording interface for both laptops and desktop computers. Its flexible inputs allow you to record from a variety of different sources. You can directly connect devices with line level, turntables via the built-in phono preamp, microphones (+48V phantom power support), and Hi-Z signals (e.g. a guitar).
