FW-1884
Applications Guide
P airing the FW-1884 with a laptop computer results
in an incredibly powerful, compact studio. Not only
are there 8 microphone inputs with phantom power,
but you can monitor your mix with zero-latency out-
puts. This means that the band won’t hear a delayed
signal in their headphones when you’re recording,
ensuring the best performance.
The Mic/Line input on channel 8 allows you to switch
to guitar impedance, which allows you to record guitar
or bass direct. In addition, each input channel has an
analog insert point – perfect for an analog compressor/
limiter to keep from overloading the inputs. You can
even “half-patch” into the inserts to create direct out-
puts for a tape backup safety.
Just arm eight channels using the front panel
buttons and hit the record key on the FW-1884 to begin
recording. Fine-tune your mix using the nine 100mm
moving faders, pan, EQ and aux send controls. The “Flip”
button allows you to mix the aux sends using the faders,
so creating a cue mix is quick and easy.
All of the analog inputs can be recorded at 96kHz/
24-bit for detailed sonic quality. You can even record the
MIDI out and digital out of a keyboard at the same time.
Flexible routing controls allow you to make a stereo
DAT or CD recording at the same time, so the band has
something to take home or sell at the end of the gig.
