Pushing the limits of what an audio interface could be, TASCAM has launched the FireOne - a FireWire Audio Interface with shortcut keys and a weighted jog wheel to inspire creative interaction with the artist's music.

The most unique feature of the unit is its large, weighted, backlit jog wheel, which allows musicians to zip through their song allows musicians to zip through their song, while the backlight provides useful feedback such as a visual metronome. But aside from the edit control features, the FireOne is the first stereo audio interface in its class that records two mic ins and two outs over FireWire at 192kHz/24-bit audio resolution.

The FireOne features a pair of mic inputs with phantom power, pad and line switches. A guitar input switch for recording direct and MIDI input and output are also provided. It's the first FireWire interface in its class to record and play at up to 192kHz/24-bit resolution.



In addition to its weighted jog wheel, the FireOne has transport keys and nine programmable function keys to control audio applications like Logic Pro, SONAR, Cubase, Nuendo, Digital Performer, Live and Pro Tools. The edit control interface makes it a perfect choice for video editing applications like Final Cut Pro and Premiere. US MSRP $399
