stompboxjon « Worth the rack space »
Published on 04/03/12 at 22:30The Behringer Firepower FCA1616 has 16 inputs and or outputs plus a midi hook up for us on the digital level. In my opinion this is a high quality audio interface. It has 96 Khz resolution as well. It comes with a power supply not too sure if power can be supplied to it from something other than the AC adapter though. But In my time using it I didn’t find another way to provide power to it. So rack it up, it has plenty of ins and outs for your set up and only takes up 1 rack space. So no more having to worry about your rack space being limited with this and still have plenty of ins and outs.
UTILIZATION
During the time I was testing this interface after seeing it at a few music conferences and showcases, which was less than a year ago I did not see any issues with the drivers. The drivers are stable, I never used or needed a manual, everything is pretty much right in front of you and if you have used interfaces before you will have no problems with this one. Unless you are having problems in your DAW , but your DAW manual could probably work you through them.
GETTING STARTED
I had no compatibility issues , synced right up with the daw and we were able to start using right away which is what I like. I hate manuals and difficulties , I like plug and play and that’s what this is.
OVERALL OPINION
Overall, its great, good sound quality and has enough outs and ins for your session. The price for this will be a pretty standard price (well that’s what they are saying) the release date isn’t set yet, but we know it will be later this year. Behringer has provided a quality product here. Much better than some of the other cheaper interfaces they have released. The FCA1616 should be a big hit when they release it! Get your hands on it!
