M-Audio's new ProFire 610 audio interface

M-Audio's successful FireWire 410 FireWire audio interface has been superseded by the ProFire 610. Using many of the same design elements found in the flagship ProFire 2626 interface, the ProFire 610 features 24-bit/192kHz audio resolution, M-Audio Octane preamp technology and onboard DSP mixing in a bus-powered unit, "ready to withstand any road environment."

According to M-Audio, multiple analogue and digital connection options enable DJs and electronic musicians to use the ProFire 610 interface as the centrepiece of an elaborate live performance rig. The onboard DSP mixer allows producers and musicians to create multiple, independent monitor mixes. Simultaneous 6 x 10 I/O gives sound designers and video editors the ability to create 7.1-channel surround sound mixes in full 24-bit/192kHz audio. The "rugged, well-built" metal chassis allows users to take the ProFire 610 on the road for mobile music production.

It will cost you around £300 and will be available from this month.
