The Prism Sound Orpheus is a FireWire interface for personal recording and sound production, for professional musicians, songwriters, engineers and producers. Orpheus is ideal for music and sound recording, production & monitoring, stem-based mastering and analogue summing.
Orpheus provides Prism Sound's renowned performance and sound quality in a dedicated FireWire unit compatible with Windows XP & Vista and MAC OS X 10.4x (Intel & PPC).
Orpheus has line, microphone and instrument inputs, good foldback and stereo or surround monitoring capabilities, ADAT and SPDIF digital I/O plus support for external MIDI devices. Microphone inputs include MS matrix processing and high-performance digital sampling-rate conversion (SRC) is available for digital inputs or outputs.
Orpheus signal path
Eight analogue input channels and up to 10 digital input channels are available (SPDIF on RCA/coax plus ADAT optical) as DAW inputs through the host's audio driver. Similarly, eight analogue output channels, up to 10 digital output channels and stereo headphone outputs can play 22 different channels. For low-latency foldback or monitoring to headphones or main outputs, each output pair (1-2, 3-4 etc) can be driven with an individual local mix of any selection of inputs through the controller applet. All inputs are electronically balanced with automatic unbalanced operation. Outputs are electronically balanced with 'bootstrapping', i.e. level is maintained if one leg is grounded.
