monster-truck recording power in a

subcompact parking space.

The FW-1804 has a generous variety

of audio options for interfacing with

your studio. Four microphone inputs,

each with phantom power for pro con-

denser mics, record to multiple tracks

for later overdubbing or mixdown. Each

has an analog insert point, so you can

insert a compressor to keep from dis-

torting. Up to eight line level signals

can be recorded or mixed simultane-

ously – such as synthesizers or multi-

effects processors. The eight-channel

ADAT optical digital interface – plus

a stereo digital S/PDIF I/O – are ideal

for pristine-quality transfers to digital

consoles or samplers.
