Which units can I combine in dual unit mode?

The following table shows which combinations of 2 units are supported in dual unit mode:

  Liquid Saffire 56 Saffire PRO 40 Saffire PRO 24 DSP Saffire PRO 24 Saffire PRO 14
Liquid Saffire 56 NO NO YES YES YES
Saffire PRO 40 NO YES YES YES YES
Saffire PRO 24 DSP YES YES YES YES YES
Saffire PRO 24 YES YES YES YES YES
Saffire PRO 14 YES YES YES YES YES

Dual unit combinations in green can be used together, those in red cannot be used together.

Therefore any two Saffire PROs can be used together, apart from the Liquid Saffire 56 which can only be used with Saffire PRO 24, Saffire PRO 24 DSP or Saffire PRO 14.

In Dual Unit Mode, only sample rates of 48kHz and below are supported.
