Lexicon I-ONIX FW810S Firewire Audio Interface

Lexicon I-Onix FW810S is a firewire audio interface featuring 8 low noise microphone preamps, 10 outputs, SPDIF I/O and MIDI IO. Lexicon I-ONIX FW810S delivers a wealth of connectivity and features, including quality dbx high-voltage, ultra low noise mic pre’s, Pantheon II reverbs, and a powerful software mixing board with dbx dynamics and hardware monitor reverb. IONIX FW810S offers a premium but affordable audio interface for computer based home and project recording studios.

However, Lexicon IONIX FW810S is more than just an 8 input, 10 output FireWire audio interface. It is a pro recording studio contained in a single rack unit. The high-voltage, ultra low noise dbx mic pre’s on every channel provide optimal timbre and tonality on every track. And the newly updated Pantheon II plug-in provides smooth, lush Lexicon reverbs for creating ideal sonic spaces.

Lexicon IOnix FW810S also features built-in dbx Type IV conversion, as a result your digital recordings will preserve their dynamic range even when levels get too high and will acquire that forgiving, oversaturated quality once only found on big analog recorders. Type IV conversion actually gives you more headroom, capturing subtle details in higher level signals instead of hard clipping them.

Lexicon I-Onix FW810S adds a powerful software Mixer with integrated dbx dynamics (compresser, gate, limiter, EQ) to your digital audio workstation. The Mixer’s true-to-life interface design feels familiar from the second you start it, making it easy to adjust levels, route signals through 8 inputs and 10 outputs, and apply and preview reverbs and dynamics. And the IONIX FW810S does the processing, so you can mix and fine tune your recordings in real time with zero latency. You can even save and load snapshots of mixer settings. Save and load up to five monitor mixes – one for the main control mix, and up to four for individual band members. Or assign the I•ONIX FW810S to start up with a snapshot.
