About this product
Product Information
The FireBox from PreSonus is a powerful recording interface that combines quality microphone/instrument preamplifiers and a 24-Bit/96kHz sample rate. This deceptively simple piece of hardware, which is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, can produce professional results. The FireBox connects to your computer via a FireWire cable, allowing for faster communication and superior stability and performance. The FireBox's high-quality analog-to-digital converters have an impressive dynamic range of 110dB for a rich, realistic sound. It can record up to six inputs simultaneously, which can be mixed using the Zero-Latency DSP mixer. Listen through the stereo headphone output or connect your monitors to experience clear, high-quality audio playback. The headphone output comes with a two-channel driver stream, which allows you to send different mixes to the headphone and main outputs. This comes in handy when you're recording multiple musicians who need to hear themselves. The two Class-A preamplifiers on the front panel make it easy to connect microphones or instruments. Connect them using a female balanced XLR or TRS 1/4-inch cable. If you use condenser mics or active DI boxes that require an external power source, you're in luck. The PreSonus FireBox includes 48V phantom power. The frequency response of the microphone preamp is 10 Hz to 50 kHz. The FireBox also has two analog line inputs and 6 line outputs. This makes it easy to connect a variety of external devices such as a mixing desk. Using the S/PDIF input and output, you can connect a variety of external audio sources like CD players or MiniDisc decks. When you plug a MIDI controller into the PreSonus FireBox FireWire interface, you can tweak physical knobs to control audio effects. It also allows you to record MIDI data with a keyboard that you can easily edit later in your DAW. The PreSonus FireBox works with Windows XP/7/Vista as well as Mac OS X 10.3.7 or later. You'll also need at least 1GB RAM and a FireWire 400 port for it to work properly. The package comes with Studio One artist software so you can dive into recording as soon as you open the box. This program includes four PreSonus virtual instruments as well as 20 reverbs, amplifier modelers, dynamics processors, and other useful plugins. You can use this to create an incredible track you'll be excited to show off. An additional software package is available that allows you to route and mix your tracks while enjoying a seamless, low-latency experience. Since it's compatible with most software, you can use the program you prefer with this audio recording system. It can be used with Core Audio and ASIO/WDM-based applications including Cubase, Logic Pro, and Garage Band. The included Impact Sample Trigger Drum Instrument can emulate 32 different drum kits. The Toontrack EZdrummer Lite makes it easier than ever to quickly lay down a steady groove. The tunes will work with the style and tempo of your song. The FireBox interface boasts a 1/3 U design for easy rack mounting. This is especially helpful for those concerned about conserving precious studio space and keeping their gear organized. The sturdy metal chassis and compact size make the unit an ideal choice for musicians on the go.Product Identifiers

Awesome Interface
I really like this interface. I'm pretty green when it comes to recording so I don't have a lot of experience. I think my recordings have sounded great and I would highly recommend this product!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Unit, Great Bundle Price! Alas - I cannot fully recommend it to everyone (See Review).
I cannot recommend this unit as I am not sure how many folks have the necessary older Windows installation as well as a fire-wire interface to take full advantage of this "bundle". I recently came into possession of a fire-wire equipped older motherboard, with a 32 bit Windows 7 installation on it and this box installed and performed perfectly. I fully admit to being lucky about this find and my free computer procurement!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good old firewire!
If you're on an older Mac and use your USB for other things, no problem. Firewire works great on this! None of that annoying lag. This thing REALLY impresses me. My favorite set up is to use it through GarageBand to a Mac Mini Intel duo core. I could go on for days about the preamp. How it makes mic'ing a guitar cab doable (at a fairly sane volume)! Gave good clean vocals through a SM57! Get yours asap!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Seller: Presonus FireBox
I finally got time to tinker with this audio interface and it is exactly what I was looking for. I found out after reading reviews that the only way to hear your play back recorded sound is to use the head jack port when you are using the firewire connection. You don't have to use the power adapter because the firewire supplies power to the audio interface. I had to change my input settings with every audio software.and cakewalk seems to be the best choice so far, I still have more experimenting to do with the interface, but I am very happy with my purchase and received the item with everything that was pictured.I would buy from this seller again. Thank youVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
