ECHO Audio Audiofire Review / See All ZenPro Audio Reviews Here: Review Page There is a complete review of the Audiofire12 which I have gigged with HERE. However I would like to generally state why the Audiofire series is for sale at ZenPro Audio no matter the model. They are stable, easy to use DAW interfaces that sound excellent. They also excel beyond their similarly priced competitors, so we can recommend them whole heartedly knowing that you are doing the best you can in this price range. You have to spend a lot of money to exceed what these firewire interfaces provide. I know, a ton of people on the web say _____ about _____ and you’re confused. Cut the confusion and just know that we’ve heard this stuff and used it, and it’s the cleanest and most reliable for the dough. – Warren Dent / ZenPro Audio
