M-Audio ProFire 610

Continuing the Legacy

The M-Audio® FireWire 410 audio interface helped ignite the mobile music revolution by delivering power and flexibility in a travel-friendly form factor. Musicians and producers tapped into a new level of creative freedom, using the FireWire 410 to make music in the field and on the go. ProFire 610 continues this legacy by introducing new features like Octane™ preamp technology, DSP mixing and high-definition, 24-bit/192kHz audio quality. By combining these professional, studio-grade tools in a half-rack-space unit, ProFire 610 delivers the most powerful mobile recording experience.

Award-winning Octane Preamp Technology

Great recordings start with great preamps. ProFire 610 brings you the same award-winning M-Audio Octane preamp technology that audio professionals trust for clean, transparent sound. Each preamp delivers low distortion and an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio—providing pristine audio fidelity right from the start of your signal path. In addition to exceptional sound, each preamp has a generous 73dB gain range**, 20dB pad and 48V phantom power.

Interactive Control Panel

ProFire 610 features an onboard DSP mixer, giving you an extra level of flexibility and improving the overall performance of your system. Use the software control panel to create custom configurations for different recording setups, then save the settings and instantly recall them later. You can set up five unique stereo mixes sourced from any of the hardware inputs and software returns simultaneously—ideal for assigning separate monitor mixes to multiple musicians. The onboard DSP mixer also enables you to monitor while tracking, just as you would with a hardware mixer.

High-Definition 192kHz Sound and Solid Performance

M-Audio designed the ProFire 610 using carefully selected components, including premium A/D-D/A converters that keep your audio signal uncolored and true to any input source. We engineered the electronic circuitry to provide an optimal signal path between input and output, resulting in extremely clean recordings that capture every nuance of your performance. ProFire 610 also features critically acclaimed JetPLL jitter-elimination technology for stable synchronization and exceptionally low audio band jitter. Building on M-Audio’s time-proven FireWire driver technology—found in the best-selling FireWire 410 interface—ProFire 610 delivers solid performance and reliability at sample rates up to 24-bit/192kHz.

User-Assignable Master Volume Control

The ProFire 610 interface delivers flexible control over output levels, allowing you to create a monitoring setup tailored to your specific needs. The master volume knob can be assigned to attenuate all output pairs simultaneously—ideal for controlling a 7.1 surround mix. Alternatively, the master volume knob can control the levels sent to your main monitors, while headphone outputs 1 and 2 operate independently. With four analog output pairs and an intuitive software control panel, ProFire 610 offers a wide range of options for unique monitoring scenarios.

Standalone Operation

ProFire 610 also functions in standalone mode, allowing you to use its premium preamplifiers without connecting to a computer. Just power up ProFire 610, c
