Firewire audio, Presonus Firebox
When it comes to desktop music many enthusiasts are stepping away from the USB devices because the Firewire interfaces are becoming less expensive making them more attractive to many people. Many people prefer the firewire because of its wider bandwidth. Not only is the bandwidth wider the driver is also state of the art. Many people prefer the firepod which is also a state of the art.
The firebox is small but not short on features. The interface can still manage six inputs of audio as well as eight outputs of audio with only one MIDI. Good luck finding something else that will match its performance. Presonus has also ensured its user they the can start recording once they take the unit out of the packaging.
The Cubase LE, compliments of Steinberg offers its user almost 50 tracks for recording audio with their MIDI. The Firebox also has a complete guide for its user’s that will tell them everything that they should know ensuring full operation.
There are many components that have been added to Firebox which is very heavy for its compact size. The front panel has two pair shaped inputs and two separate jacks for balance. The line jacks for level are combined in one connector. The Firebox also has special circuitry to prevent noise with a power switch on the front of the box for microphones. The input can accommodate instruments as well a microphone signals and there are two knobs which the user can use to control these functions. This will help the user make sure that the level settings are accurate. There are also knobs that control the headphones and levels of output. Keep in mind that the range for the gain is a bit wide and it is loud! The system will also indicate if something is not quite right. You will see a blue light when everything is ok and a red light if there is something that is wrong.
All of the other Firebox components are in the back of the system. The back of the box is where you can find the lines for balance and the output for stereo. The user can also configure the stereo output for mono as well. There are also two sockets in the back that can be used to power the Firebox from the user’s computer. With the Firebox you will definitely get a lot for your money. There are also plenty of output and input channels and it doesn’t matter if your computer is portable or if it is mounted.
