The Blackmagic Design Fairlight Audio Interface is a professional audio post-production I/O box built for mixing stages that need extensive analog and digital connectivity alongside broadcast-grade sync. It pairs 2 remote-controlled mic/instrument preamps and 8 balanced analog inputs with 9 AES digital inputs, all with built-in sample rate conversion, and syncs to any standard frame rate via Tri-Sync, Black Burst, or word clock. It requires a Fairlight Audio Accelerator and connects via a supplied proprietary interface cable, giving DaVinci Resolve Fairlight users full broadcast I/O for audio post work.
Extensive Analog I/O: 2 remote-controlled mic/instrument preamps with 48V phantom power, plus 8 balanced analog inputs and 12 balanced outputs.
9 AES Digital Inputs, 11 Outputs: Fully transformer-coupled digital I/O plus S/PDIF with built-in sample rate conversion.
Broadcast Sync Support: Syncs to Tri-Sync, Black Burst, word clock, and all common video frame rates.
Dual RS-422 9-Pin Control Ports: Machine control input and output for integration with broadcast automation systems.
GPIO for On-Air Control: Dedicated cough and “On-Air” control connections for live broadcast workflows.
Requires Fairlight Audio Accelerator: Connects via a supplied proprietary interface cable for use with DaVinci Resolve Fairlight.
