Slim and versatile FireWire recording interface with great sound and enough analogue inputs and outputs to mic a large drum kit or a small band. It features high-quality A/D/A converters with 114 dB dynamic range and the same award-winning Class A XMAX preamps found in popular Presonus StudioLive mixers, so it allows for recording and playback of 24-bit audio at sampling rates up to 96 kHz with remarkably low noise. And with PreSonus’ lauded JetPLL jitter-elimination technology, it provides the tightest, most reliable digital sync in the industry. The six mic/line inputs and two mic/instrument inputs make it extremely versatile, enabling user to use it with almost any source. It also features two line-level audio outputs, MIDI I/O, stereo S/PDIF digital I/O, and an ultra-loud headphone output. If more inputs are needed, the interface can be simply daisy-chained with a second unit, or with any interface in the FireStudio family, for up to 52 inputs and outputs. The interface also features an internal 18-input software mixer/router that allows for setting up 10 cue mixes. A mix control blends the input signal with the computer playback stream for zero-latency monitoring so user can overdub new tracks without hearing annoying delays. The cue mixes can be set up in Presonus Universal Control control-panel software or amazing Studio One Artist DAW software for Mac and Windows, both of which are included. The interface works with virtually all Mac and Windows audio-recording software but it offers additional functionality when used with PreSonus’ Studio One 3 Artist DAW. Built by creative people for creative music production, Studio One 3 is easy to learn and enables for composing, recording, and producing without getting distracted by the tools.
