hot gear at WINTER NAMM ’09: studio Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56 Interface Focusrite has added to its Saffire range with the integration of Liquid preamp technology with Saffire pro audio interfacing. Liquid Saffire 56 is the company’s new flagship 2U multichannel FireWire audio interface. Two of Liquid Saffire 56’s eight preamps utilize the third generation of Focusrite’s Liquid preamp, each providing a choice of 10 different preamp emulations. These include emulations based on the Neve 1073, Pultec MB-1, Telefunken V72 and seven more. A harmonics dial on each Liquid preamp allows the user to compensate for variance in vintage originals of the same model, or to creatively add levels of 2nd, 3rd, and 5th harmonic distortion to shape the preamps performance.
