../ PreSonus Announces FireBox Interface

PreSonus has announced the Firebox, a powerful, yet very compact external 24-bit/96k FireWire computer audio interface. The Firebox has the ability to simultaneously record six inputs and playback through ten outputs all at 24-bit/96kHz.

The Firebox contains two ultra-low noise, high-headroom microphone/instrument preamplifiers with 48V phantom power and 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 - perfect for DJing with the latest computer mixing software. 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 a 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 PreSonus' MaxRack rack-mounting system and can be racked with the TubePRE, COMP16, EQ3B and HP4 for a neat and compact computer recording system.


PreSonus FireBox


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 Firebox is Windows XP and Macintosh compatible and comes pre-packaged with Steinberg's Cubase LE 48-track 24-bit/96K recording software, and is also compatible with many popular Audio applications including Logic, Sonar, Audition, Digital Performer and others. A retail price has not been established.
