Saffire PRO 40 Architecture
Saffire PRO 40 offers more than just simple input and output routing to and from your computer. Saffire MixControl software
also allows you to re-route audio signals to any output, and to create custom mixes to be sent to your recording artists, outboard
processing equipment, or mixing console.
The following diagrams give an overview of the Saffire PRO 40 audio paths when set at different sample rates and
S/PDIF configurations.
The Hardware Inputs are routed directly to the DAW Inputs. The table below each diagram shows the routing configuration.
