Fairlight Audio Interface is a professional audio post production I/O interface offering an extensive range of analog and digital inputs and outputs. It includes preamps for microphones and instruments, built-in sample rate conversion, synchronization at common frame rates, and dual 9-pin control ports. The interface requires the Fairlight Audio Accelerator and connects to it using the supplied proprietary interface cable.
For professional audio post production in Kuwait, the interface provides 2 x remote controlled XLR/TRS microphone inputs with 48v phantom power and instrument preamps, 8 x +24dBu balanced analog inputs, and 12 x +24dBu balanced analog outputs with mute protection. Digital connectivity includes 9 x fully transformer coupled AES stereo inputs, 1 x S/PDIF input with sample-rate conversion, 11 x AES stereo outputs, and 1 x stereo digital S/PDIF output.
The Fairlight Audio Interface supports 44.1, 48, 96, and 192 kHz sample rates. It provides 50dB gain ranges for microphone and instrument inputs, up to +24dBu maximum input and output levels, 108dB to 110dB dynamic range for line inputs, and 109dB dynamic range for line outputs. Input and output frequency response is specified across 20Hz - 20kHz. Sync connections include 75 ohm BNC Reference and word clock inputs and outputs, with support for HD Tri-level sync, video sync, word-clock, and AES/EBU.
Additional connectivity includes RS-422 9-pin machine control input and output, timecode input and output with regeneration, and GPI/GPO connections for cough and ‘On-Air’ control. The interface supports Mac 13.0 Ventura, Mac 14.0 Sonoma or later on Intel Macs only, Windows 10 Creators Update, and Windows 11. It uses an internal 100 - 240V AC 50/60Hz IEC C14 power supply with 40W power usage and automatically powers on/off with the Fairlight Audio Accelerator. Operating temperature is 0° to 40°C (32° to 104°F), with storage temperatures from -20° to 60°C (-4° to 140°F) and 0% to 90% non-condensing humidity. The package includes the interface and multi-pin cable, backed by a 1 Year Limited Manufacturer’s Warranty, with Fast Delivery in Kuwait City, Hawalli, Salmiya.
