Dual Unit Support
It is now possible to run two Saffire interfaces connected to a single computer. This enables two devices to be connected to the
same system and used as one device expanding the available Inputs and Outputs to your DAW. Dual Device Support is limited to two
devices connected to the same bus at sample rates of 48kHz or below.
The following table shows which 2 Saffire units can and cannot be used together:
Liquid Saffire 56 Saffire PRO 40 Saffire PRO 24 DSP Saffire PRO 24 Saffire PRO 14
Liquid Saffire 56 NO NO YES YES YES
Saffire PRO 40 NO YES YES YES YES
Saffire PRO 26 YES YES YES YES YES
Saffire PRO 24 DSP YES YES YES YES YES
Saffire PRO 24 YES YES YES YES YES
Saffire PRO 14 YES YES YES YES YES
Dual unit combinations in Green can be used together, those in Red cannot be used together.
Therefore any two Saffire PROs can be used together, apart from the Liquid Saffire 56 which can only be used with Saffire PRO 24
DSP, Saffire PRO 24, or Saffire PRO 14
Getting Started - Computer Connection
Computer with a single FireWire port
Connect one Saffire to the FireWire port on the computer.
Connect the second Saffire to the spare FireWire port on the first Saffire.
Note that the Saffire PRO 26, Saffire PRO 24, Saffire PRO 24 DSP and Saffire PRO 14 have a single FireWire port, so will need to be
connected to a Saffire PRO 40 or Liquid Saffire 56 and will require the external PSU when connected in this way.
Computer with multiple FireWire ports
Connect both Saffires directly to computer.
Note that both FireWire ports on the computer MUST be on the same FireWire bus. i.e. the same PCI / PCIe FireWire card.
At least one Saffire will require the external PSU when connected in this way.
Controlling Dual Units
Saffire MixControl allows control of two units from the same interface. One unit is displayed at a time. To
switch focus between units, click on the name field.
Naming Units
Connected units can be renamed so they may be more easily distinguished in a dual device environment.
Right-click on the name field to rename the unit. Note that the name may take a short time to update.
