PreSonus Officially Announces FireStudio Tube – FireWire Recording System With Tube Preamps
PreSonus has announced the FireStudio Tube, a 24-bit/96k FireWire recording system. The front panel of the FireStudio Tube contains two SuperChannels featuring class A vacuum tube microphone and instrument preamplifiers along with full-featured analog limiters.
The tube preamplifiers use a high gain, military grade 12AX7 tube for maximum gain, low noise and high headroom. Neutrik combo connectors allow both XLR microphone input and hi-Z instrument input. Preamp controls include preamp gain and tube drive to achieve a wide range of sounds from smooth, clean and clear, to warm tube saturation. An 80Hz high pass filter is also located on the front panel to remove room rumble and unwanted lows.

• 24-bit/96K firewire (IEEE1394)
