These include emulations based on the Neve 1073 the Pultec MB-1 Telefunken V72 and seven more. A harmonics dial on each Liquid pre-amp lets you account for variance in vintage originals of the same model or use levels of 2nd 3rd and 5th Harmonic distortion creatively to shape your sound. Liquid Saffire 56 doesnt just offer pre-amp variety; sonic integrity is also guaranteed throughout. Both the Liquid and Saffire pre-amps ensure low noise and distortion whilst quality digital conversion and JetPLL jitter elimination technology ensure pristine audio quality as your audio flows between the analogue and digital domains. Alongside the two Liquid- and six Saffire pre-amps are a host of i/o options; 10 analogue outputs 16 channels of ADAT i/o stereo SPDIF i/o MIDI i/o and 2 virtual loopback inputs for routing digital audio between software applications – ideal for capturing audio playback within your computer. Mic Line and Instrument inputs all utilise independent connectors with the input type for each channel selectable via custom control software. Consequently all the inputs can remain permanently connected ready for whatever your recording session demands. In addition word-clock i/o is provided on BNC connectors allowing Liquid Saffire 56 to act as either a master clock for your studio or as a slave to an existing clock.
