Published on 07/25/12 at 02:03The Echo Audio Fire 2 is a very tiny device that can be used almost anywhere in any situation. This type of interface is always good to have around, they are very cheap and sound good in most situations with low latency and sync with any computer and work with any program and daw. I have one of these and I keep it around as a back up and when I go out of my home and still want to record. It is truly an on the go type of interface.
UTILIZATION
This interface is only about 5 inches wide and 4 deep at the most. It can pretty much fit in the palm of your hand so it can be put into your pocket or any carry bag that you need to have it in if you are on the go. I have seem several DJ’s use the Echo Audio fire 2 because they are very mobile and from time to time they need an interface that they can do some mixing with on the computer and still track in there vocal audio. When using this I have noticed a lag though, but the lag varies depending on your machine and operating system.
GETTING STARTED
It is compatible on windows xp, vista and windows 7 32 or 64 bit as long as you have at least 256 ram available and a fire wire port. When on a mac you need to have 10.4 operating system or later and at least a G4 processor. On both systems you need to have a 400 mega bytes per second fire wire port.
OVERALL OPINION
Very small interface, with a little latency, but its still very affordable and powerful. I will keep mine as a back up device for on the road. I love this pocket sized interface that I can use anywhere. You have to try it.
