![]() THD+N and signal-to-noise ratio are similar to the ones we can find on small M-Audio interfaces. This FCA1616 is definitely surprising…Ī first observation: the preamps offer 46dB of input headroom (60dB analog input+output) and the pots’ taper is a bit too exponential. In addition to the eight balanced outputs and four balanced inputs on TRS jacks, we also noticed there are eight inserts, which is worth mentioning given how rare it is to find such features on entry-level interfaces. We wouldn’t have been shocked to see only a USB connector… We also have MIDI I/Os on 5-pin DIN connectors, which will please owners of non-USB controllers. The number of tracks isn’t limited, plus the sequencer is compatible with AU and VST and offers heaps of processing options.īesides the digital I/Os, we also find USB and FireWire ports on the rear panel, because the FCA1616 can afford the luxury of being compatible with both, which is something we can only appreciate from such a cheap interface. ![]() ![]() Everything you need to start working seriously right away. Competing products, which are still more expensive in this market segment (Presonus, Focusrite, M-Audio, Lexicon…), feature only S/PDIF but never ADAT - whenever they actually provide digital I/Os.īesides not being expensive, the FCA1616 comes with the full (not the light) version of Tracktion 4, which usually sells for $60. It’s striking to have these options for such a price. Finally, a selector allows us to choose different digital inputs/outputs because, indeed, the FCA1616 does feature digital inputs/outputs! On the rear we have TOSlink connectors for channels 9 to 16 (ADAT) and RCA for channels 9/10 on S/PDIF. ![]()
