M-audio Fw 410 - Positive Reviews?? Anyone??, FW 410 or MKII....no contest?? Options

[krsboz]

hey-

i'm running Logic on a 1G G4 Powerbook w/ Panther....and it's time to take the next step.

I've read some pretty sketchy stuff all over about the M-Audio Firewire 410....I'm wondering if anyone
out there has anything good to say about it??

I'm leaning towards biting the bullet and picking up the MKII 828 - but I just wanted to know if anyone had any good experiences with the FW410 before I completely empty my wallet.

thanks much,

krs

More expensive but balanced you have the Metric Halo Mobile I/O…

828 is cool

Also check the Tascam 1884 and Yamaha 01x, there a lot going in these too (mixers and control surface, effects) and they have already positive reviews here even if the drivers of the Tascam are still not full featured. I'm lazy so I don't have looked again how they handle balanced signal… do your homework

Presto

Anytime you see RCA style connectors, they are unbalanced.

To have a balanced connection, you either have an XLR mic connector, or a tip/ring/sleeve style connetor (think headphones). If a cable only has a tip and a sleeve (think guitar cable) then it is unbalanced.

Hope this helps

Have a look at what I quoted. I thought they did say XLR. I'd better go back to school or buy some new glasses.

Ah I added the bit including XLR after (edit). You must have missed it.

Anyway, nice advice from you Scott.

Finally looked at the Egosystems site. The Quatafire does have two combo XLRs on the front. There's a pic
