The Saffire PRO 26 is part of Focusrite’s family of professional studio-quality Firewire/Thunderbolt compatible* audio interfaces, with full 24-bit/96kHz conversion and four award-winning Focusrite mic preamps with phantom power. The best-sounding interface in its class, Saffire PRO 26 was designed with both studio recording and live musicians in mind, offering extensive input and output capabilities for maximum flexibility.
Twenty-five years of mic preamp excellence form the foundation of the Saffire PRO 26 interface. The four preamps, along with the very latest in mix control software and interfacing technology, combine to deliver seamless integration, excellent routing flexibility and rock-solid driver stability.
At the heart of Saffire PRO 26 lie four award-winning Focusrite preamps. These allow unparalleled recording flexibility and ensure low noise and distortion with plenty of headroom to capture the full dynamic range of even the loudest drumkit or guitar amp. Precision digital conversion and JetPLL™ jitter-elimination technology maintain pristine audio quality in both analog and digital domains.
Inputs 1 and 2 are available both as mic-level rear-panel XLRs and as front-panel TRS (1/4 inch) sockets at line or instrument levels, and include 8dB pads. Inputs 3 and 4 appear on the rear panel as combo XLR (mic)/TRS (line) sockets. There are two additional rear-panel TRS line inputs, making a total of six analog inputs, for which 5-segment LED metering is provided.
The PRO 26 includes S/PDIF I/O, and an optical digital input that can be configured either as S/PDIF or as ADAT format, the latter allowing expansion of the interface with, for example, Focusrite’s OctoPre MkII, for a total of 14 analog inputs. Saffire PRO 26 also features two virtual Loopback inputs, for routing digital audio between software applications - ideal for capturing online audio.
On the output side, dual headphone outputs, six line outputs on TRS jacks, and S/PDIF coax are provided. Main monitor controls, including volume, dim and mute, are included on the front panel.
Saffire MixControl, the ultra-low-latency 26 x 8 DSP mixer/router software provided with Saffire PRO 26, sets a new standard for audio interface control. It features flexible output routing and monitoring, as well as intuitive one-click setup solutions designed to help you track, monitor and mix as quickly as possible.
Is it possible to expand the inputs by connecting the pro 26 to saffire pro 40?
I love the way they say; "Comprehensive routing". Yeah, my ass is comprehensible
🤣
are the headphone outs independent from the line out?
I got a question. . How do you transfer to protools? or how can you use its pre amps for vocals and record in Protools? I use Protools 10. ..
What are the differences between this and the Safire 40.
This comes with 8 mic inputs? If down the road I need another 6 or 8 can I buy another one and have two working together!
Larry Tate Yes you can run the Saffire units in a dual link mode. Here is some information on that:

Cool, thank you.
One more question, do u think the fire wire focusrite interfaces or the the Scarlett's USB interfaces are better? Or is there lil to no difference? I have a new MacBook Pro I want to use it with and the USB is 3.0 not 2.0.
Larry Tate They are more or less the same units the only difference is the Scarlett series is for USB and the Saffire are for Firewire or Thunderbolt connections.
