Questions and answers
I have a older Focusrite Saffire 6 usb unit that I haven't used in years. I **** wondering if it is compatible with my current computer? I **** using a new HP all in one computer. Does the power turn on when connecting the usb cable? I **** thinking it may be too old to operate with my unit.
The document states that the Focusrite Saffire 6 USB is compatible with computers running Mac OS but does not specify compatibility with Windows or HP all-in-one computers. Compatibility would depend on the operating system and available drivers. To confirm, check Focusrite's official support resources for driver availability and system requirements.
