   * FireWire Connectivity
   * Flexible Connectivity Including S/PDIF, Insert Points, and MIDI

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.
