The Griffin FireWave gives you what you have been missing in your Mac experience - Surround Sound.

FireWave has Dolby Digitalâ„¢ processors to bring Surround Sound to Macs for gaming, DVD players and iTunes.

With the multitude of 5.1 surround sound speakers for PCs readily available, FireWave gives Mac users the ability to affordably upgrade their sound systems, with spectacular results.

FireWave's small size makes it easy to incorporate into any computer setup, and portable enough to use on laptops. For the ultimate in mobile convenience, FireWave gets its power through its FireWire connection to the computer -- no separate cables or power supplies to tote. And FireWave features an extra FireWire port so you can chain other devices through it.

With 5.1 surround sound, you'll experience music, movies, and games on your desktop like never before. FireWave brings DVDs to life, unleashing their full audio potential. FireWave's Dolby virtual surround sound technology makes any audio source come alive, whether from iTunes, QuickTime, or streaming audio.


FireWave Q & A

What is the port configuration?
FireWave outputs six channel audio through three 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo mini-jacks: Left/Right, Center/Subwoofer and Right Surround/Left Surround. FireWave also includes a FireWire 400 passthrough for connecting external devices like hard drives or iPods.

Does the FireWave feature digital coax or optical outputs?
No.

What audio formats are supported by FireWave?
FireWave supports Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II in addition to routing any configuration of up to six discrete audio channels, such as quad and hex arrangements.

What type of amplifier does FireWave use?
FireWave is not an amplifier and only supplies line level output. It is designed to be connected to self-powered multichannel speakers or to an amplifier/receiver with discrete inputs.

Is it suitable for four-channel output?
Absolutely! Practically any number and/or arrangement of speakers (up to 6 channels) can be designated in Mac OS X's Audio MIDI Setup utility.
