Hello everyone,
Well here is my opinion on the Firebox that I bought there a year and a half and I have to sell. Why?
I got the Firebox as the first map of its computer music.
I did not know absolutely nothing at the time and site is a lot of people praise this card so I have their trust in crooked.
I used it on Windows XP PC AMD X2 4400 + 2gig of RAM with a micro Rode and AKG C451B NT1a and a Universal Audio preamp solo/610
For the features of this map is complete enough for a guy who wants to start making recording simple and effective (if it was reliable).
CAD two good preamp power supply 48V IN / OUT and SPDIF for MIDI and a very good headphone (And the best part of this card) but no ADAT and so little mute button montior -2
UTILIZATION
Installation without any problems.
Easy setup.
GETTING STARTED
The drivers are stable on my setup.
I used the Firebox to Cubase SL 3
I can not give high marks to use because I had too many problems related to manufacturing quality and had to be delayed in my projects. PreSonus thank you!
My expliquaions below .....
OVERALL OPINION
I used it for a year and a half with this opinion I make a big warning about the build quality of the Firebox and the PreSonus products in general.
On my first day of purchase I found the store because one of the knobs of an input of my preamp kidding when I turned. (Loss of sound and crackling)
I changed it for another Firebox that it has worked well for 3 months then it's set to make a kind of buzz when I sent him the low frequencies.
So I did a test at the store with my firebox that buzzer and another brand new and we noticed that even the new buzzit also very very low but always with low Frequency converter (Maybe mine had this little buzz also initially and as I used the buzz is heightened?) 3 short Firebox tested and none passed the test. Bad luck? It's a bit far-fetched.

Ever it is not serious and I am extremely disappointed that's why I changed completely and end I got an RME Fireface 800 and I am satisfied.
Edit (after reading the notice to lucetamdoute who has probably never tried another card nomadic life) By the way I did not notice this for destroying the brand I have other things to do but more interesting given notice sincere and realistic manufacturing quality and durability of the product as I gave many a chance to mark which has not lived up to my expectations. I must say that I also have the Presonus HP 4 is not better for two good reasons but that's another story.
