The software does not activate the reference clock (when it is requested in the default settings ...), so annoying ...

GETTING STARTED

The implementation on Mac without problems, even in 64-bit ... The next "Plugg and play" is there ...

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 7 months, is the only audio interface to be 32 in / out on a single Firewire port (with the M-Audio Light Bridge). As I do everything outside the computer (not this one that I use Magneto in fact), I need large inputs / outputs. All other models are made on dedicated port (as in MOTU RME) and an Imac can be equipped with a PCIe card ... This interface does the job, under the conditions described above, but at the clock, we are not in RME, SSL, Apogee and consort ... Good interface for the "small" studio, on a commercial structure is a bit limited. Still, it's the job anyway, and the software "Studio One" Presonus is intuitive and well done.

If I do it again this choice?? With a MacPro, no, I will go towards a solution in the SSL MADI, or PCI-424 and Motu 2408 MK3 from home, qualitatively a step up ... Now, for an Imac, however powerful it is limited in the choice ...

Okay ...
