  • Wow!

    As reviewed by Still Divided on 2/23/2009

    I was originaly torn between the 2626 and the 003, but I am very happy I went with the ProFire! The 8 pre-amps sound crystal clear and the A/D converters blow the 003 out of the water! After reading review after review about this product everyone seemed to say the same thing.. The 2626 was far supioror to the 003.

  • The best interface for Pro Tools without going to HD!

    As reviewed by Dylan on 10/6/2009

    By far this is the best interface out there for Pro Tools without moving up to HD. You can connect better preamps, A/D and D/A converters, and external clock bringing that HD sound for drastically less. The stock preamps, converters and clock are not bad for getting started. This interface has respectfully low jitter and a clean, uncolored sound. If your looking to maximize your Pro Tools rig without the insane cost of the pros, this is your ticket.

  • Great piece of gear. WAY underrated!

    As reviewed by Al Hayes on 11/23/2010

    I own a small production studio that records backing music, voiceovers, and tracks bands. I bought the Profire 2626 on a suggestion from another user, and I was AMAZED! It was easy to install, easy to start tracking, and the sound quality was better than many pieces of gear that cost more. The routing matrix makes sending specific headphone mixes to different musicians a breeze. Yes, the matrix takes a few minutes to customize, but it is still tons easier than routing all the different signals manually. Also, you avoid adding cables into your signal path. The preamps were clean, and very neutral. A great feature is the ability to bypass the internal preamps by using trs inputs. This one detail allows me to use any outboard gear without stacking sounds, and clipping. The profire 2626and Logic work so well together that others who have heard me recordings are returning their gear to buy one of these. I have heard complaints that the headphone outs aren't very loud, but I run headphone amps so this isn't a problem. There is no such thing as a "be all, end all" of gear, but this piece is very versatile, clean, well built, reliable, and worth the money.
