Introduction to Orpheus

Orpheus is a FireWire multi-channel audio interface for Windows PC and Mac. As well as eight analogue line inputs and outputs, Orpheus provides four high-quality microphone preamplifiers, two high-impedance instrument inputs, a MIDI interface as well as  a host of advanced synchronization and monitoring facilities.

In short, Orpheus is intended to provide 'studio in a box' functionality for the digital audio workstation (DAW) user.  That's not so unusual - there are many other interfaces on the market which provide similar functionality.  However, Orpheus is unique among them in providing Prism Sound's unique pedigree of conversion, analogue, clocking and signal processing to the DAW user for the first time in an integrated package, with the plug-and-play convenience of an ordinary sound card.
