The Focusrite Saffire 6 is a 2 in 4 out USB audio interface. It uses the same award-winning Focusrite mic preamps as the rest of the Saffire range. This makes it the best value, and best sounding interface in its class. Its output configuration is also ideal for laptop DJs.

It does everything well. My only two 'con's would be: Low output headphone jack can't drive K240s XLR/RTS multi jack seems to be soldered to the board. Other than that, the sound is amazing, the plug ins that come with it will be your favorites, and it took about 3 minutes to get it running perfectly with no drop outs. I also have the Saffire Pro 40, and this unit sounds identical (which is why I bought it - for those times when I need to track a vocal in the booth with a Macbook Pro
I don't often write reviews, but simply had to comment on the Focusrite Saffire 6 USB. Over a month ago I purchased a new custom-built PC by Polywell in the SF Bay Area (they make great PC's!) and had them put Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on it - which is the 1st challenge for audio as many things have changed on this new OS including stuff like new firewire drivers. I encountered Failure After Failure to get an audio interface working with Creative Crap X-Fi Fatal1ty Platinum w/breakout box, Echo Gina3G, M-Audio FirePro 610, Presonus FireStudio and HT Omega Claro Halo either because of bad drivers provided, IRQ clashes or firewire driver clashes. So, reading raving review after raving review of the Focusrite Saffire 6 USB and then actually speaking to someone at the Focusrite offices in So. Cal. I purchased one. What has been said in every review I have read was right on the mark. Easy installation - check. Good Windows 7 x64 drivers - check. Working within 5 minutes out of the box without issue - check. Fantastic, clear, true sound - check. Vocal recording - check. Ease of use - check. At this price, I would argue that this box is better (to my ears) than anything available in the higher and lower bracket as well as several options. The clear and true sound whether through speakers or headphones just blows me away. The only issue I had (and arguably it is my issue more than the boxes' issue) is that I could not make my Sennheiser PC-350 headset w/mic boom work - but again, that's my issue as it only seems to work with cheaper audio interfaces. I easily solved the problem by buying a Sterling ST-31 condenser mic. Even this low-end mic resulted in fantastic vocal recording quality thanks to the great pre-amps Focusrite has in the box. If your budget can take the price tag, buy this - you won't regret it!
I bought this as my first interface 4 months ago and am using it on a new windows 7 pc so I chose USB as the connectivity, vs. firewire. I've used it now with both Reaper software, and the Ableton Live software that came bundled with it, and setup and use is easy, and the pre-amp sounds great. No USB latency, and have used it with a Shure sm 57 mic and plugged in electric guitars to record with and have no complaints. PC and music audio sounds great through it when I'm not recording or programming music. Affordable price at an average of 200 bucks. If you don't have complex recording needs, this'll do the trick.
