The
FIREBOX is the most powerful 24-bit/96k FireWire recording
interface that fits in the palm of your hand. The FIREBOX
is a complete 24-Bit/96k personal recording studio combining
two high quality PreSonus microphone/instrument preamplifiers,
24-Bit/96k sample rate and Steinberg's Cubase LE 48-track
recording software. The FIREBOX is the perfect hardware and
software combination for a powerful professional-quality and
compact computer-based studio.
Hardware
The
FIREBOX has the highest record/playback track count of its
size with the ability to record six inputs and playback through
ten outputs simultaneously all at pro-quality 24-bit/96kHz.
Two ultra-low noise high-headroom microphone/instrument preamplifiers
with 48V phantom power are on the front panel for quickly
and easily connecting your favorite microphones and instruments.
The FIREBOX also includes a high quality stereo headphone
output with volume adjustment on the front panel. The headphone
output has its own two-channel driver stream which can be
used as a separate stereo bus or two-channel output giving
you the ability to send a “cue” mix to the headphone
output and a main mix to the main output. Two additional balanced
TRS line inputs are located on the rear of the FIREBOX along
with six balanced TRS line outputs. Two channels of S/PDIF
input/output and MIDI input/output are also included via DB9
breakout cable. A software router/mixer is also included for
further flexibility and power. The 1/3U-wide metal chassis
of the FIREBOX is designed to fit the MAXRACK rack-mounting
system from PreSonus and can be racked with the TubePRE, COMP16,
EQ3B and HP4 for a neat and compact computer recording system.
The
FIREBOX works with both four and six-pin FireWire (IEEE 1394)
connectors and can be powered by either 6-pin FireWire bus
power, or powered by an external power transformer.
The
Windows XP and Macintosh compatible FIREBOX comes ready-to-record
with Steinberg's Cubase LE 48-track 24-bit/96K recording software,
and is also compatible with many popular ASIO/WDM and Core
Audio based applications including Logic, Sonar, Audition,
Digital Performer and others.
