Yamaha GO46 FireWire Interface
The GO46 FireWire interface from Yamaha provides a means to stream high-quality
24-bit/192kHz digital audio and MIDI into a computer. Connect it to a laptop,
and you've got a rugged and portable interface that can go anywhere you go,
hence the name "GO46." This box is the ideal interface for great-sounding
audio on the "GO."

Premium Mic Pres and Inputs
The GO46 features combo mic/line terminals (for both XLR and phone jack) on
the front panel. Phantom power is also available and independently switchable
for each input channel. In other words, you can use a condenser microphone on
channel 1 with phantom power switched on to capture the delicate sounds of a
vocal while simultaneously recording an electric/acoustic guitar plugged into
channel 2. These combo inputs are captured at up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution.
This pro-level quality makes the GO46 perfect for any type of recording, and
allows you to capture the full details and nuances of the original source -
from the breathiness of a vocal to the delicate finger slides of an acoustic
guitar performance.
FireWire Connectivity
The FireWire equipped GO46 not only offers the convenience of one plug connection
to a computer, but the GO46 can be powered via bus power from the FireWire port.
Connect the GO46 to the FireWire terminal of a laptop and you've got and extremely
powerful and portable recording studio that will fit in a backpack. This is
also great for using the GO46 in places where electrical outlets can be scarce,
like local clubs.
Flexible Connectivity Including S/PDIF, Insert Points, and MIDI
In order to maximize the flexibility of the GO46, Yamaha included virtually
any kind of connection you might need on location recording gigs. Two insert
points allow for connection to outboard gear like compressors or EQs. MIDI in/out
allows for connection of MIDI sound modules or instruments. S/PDIF jacks are
great for inputting digital signal from another interface or throughputting
the GO46 signal to a digital mixer, separate digital recorder, or any other
digital device.
