| Hi,
We have both ff400 and ff800 in our studio. As as stated before in another thread THEY DO SOUND THE SAME AND THEY USE THE SAME DRIVER. So there's no stability issue with the new ff400 (it is incredibly stable actually)
Specs wise the ff400 has a slightly better AD and slightly inferior DA but once again, that's specs and I can't hear a friggin difference. The pres on the ff400 seems a tad better though. there's no soft limit , drive or cab emulation on the ff400 instrument input. (I don't miss it though I never use them on the ff800... there's way enough headroom before cliping anyway and the cab/drive thingy is irrelevant for me)
the RME software is great and you have variable input levels on the mic pres of course (they can be used as line ins too)
the instru ins gives a choice of different impedances and I never had a problem with the +4/-10 ref inputs you've got a extra 6db boost available too.
I hope that helps |
