FW810S

FireWire™ Audio Interface with Integrated

dbx® Mic Preamps and Dynamics

With a wealth of features - including new dbx® 63V high-voltage, ultra low noise mic
preamps, dbx dynamics (comparator, limiter, gate) and EQ, a hardware monitor reverb,
and a software suite that includes the new Pantheon™ II VST/AU reverb plug-in – the Lexicon
I·ONIX FW810S is more than just an 10-input, 12-output FireWire audio interface. It’s a pro
recording studio in a single rack unit.
Newly designed dbx mic preamps are included on every channel and run on a 63V supply
to guarantee headroom and provide you with a superior recording across a wide dynamic
range. The preamps are exceptionally transparent and deliver deeper lows, smoother highs,
and an overall fuller sound that will make your recordings sound more amazing than ever.
Ultra high-definition converters ensure pristine 24-bit/96kHz audio. And with built-in
dbx Type IV™ conversion, your digital recordings will preserve their dynamic range even
when levels get too high. Now instead of hard clipping the peaks, your recordings will
acquire that forgiving, oversaturated quality once found on big analog recorders. Type IV
conversion actually gives you more head room, capturing the subtle details in higher level
signals instead of hard clipping them.
Plus, the Lexicon I•ONIX FW810S adds a powerful Mixer with integrated dbx dynamics
(compresser, gate, limiter) and EQ. The Mixer’s true-to-life user interface feels familiar from the
second you start using it, making it easy to adjust levels, route signals through 10 inputs and
12 outputs, and preview reverbs and dynamics. And the I•ONIX FW810S does the process­ing, so you can mix and fine tune your recordings in real time with zero latency.
With so many powerful recording tools, the I·ONIX FW810S is the ultimate hardware
and software interface that transforms your computer into a professional 24-bit/96 kHz
recording studio.
