6x10 Firewire Recording Interface

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.

* FREE Cubase LE audio production software
   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.
