24-bit, 96kH Firewire audio interface for Windows XP and Mac OSX   eur 350 System requirements Mac: OS X Panther (10.3.3 or later), G3/800MHz, G4/700MHz, 256MB RAM Windows: XP, Pentium Celeron, or Pentium compatible processor of 900MHz , 256MB RAM Six inputs and eight outputs (including stereo digital I/O) with monitoring and i/o control options. Although only the original Saffire has onboard DSP, the Saffire LE comes complete with the entire Saffire plug-in suite, offering Compression, Reverb, Amp modeling and EQ in VST and AU formats. Furthermore, Saffire LE is bundled with a host of other software titles and audio samples, all included on the accompanying resources dvd. As with the original Saffire, input and output levels and latency-free monitoring solutions can all be controlled via the accompanying SaffireControl LE software. This application floats comfortably over any recording software, and can shrink in size to suit a number of different recording scenarios.
