MODEL- FBOX VENDOR- PRESONUS AUDIO
FEATURES- FIREBOX - 6x10 24-bit/96K FireWire Recording System
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.
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.

Cubase LE is the new music production software based on award-winning
Cubase SX technology featuring 48 audio tracks, VST plug-ins and full
VSTi support. Cubase LE combines powerful audio and MIDI recording
features with professional editing and effects. Cubase LE and all
included plug-ins are compatible with both Mac and PC systems. Also,
Cubase LE sessions are completely upward compatible with both Cubase SX
and Nuendo. So if you choose to upgrade down the road to Cubase SX or
Nuendo, you can seemlessly upgrade all of your existing sessions when
you upgrade your software. Cubase LE is the perfect entry into
professional recording software giving you the ability to produce
professional level recordings right-away, and giving you a system that
you can expand into the future!
* DSP Mixer Included
The Firebox features a Zero-Latency DSP mixer that allows you to mix all
six live inputs with a software output stream, then route that mix to
any one of its outputs, as well as assign either that mix or a software
output stream to its headphone amplifier. This feature eliminates
monitoring through the computer and makes it easy to customize a mix for
the artist. It also allows CUEING for DJ s and live performance where
the headphone output can monitor a completely different signal than the
MAIN outputs.
