* 24/96, Fire wire, 6 inputs including 2 direct boxes and two phantoms, potentiomtres CONTRL numriquement via software. 4 channels of simultaneous recording. It is chainable for 4 machines (16 in simultaneous rec). everything for 190 Euros. It just does not competing

* Record audio proximity and use of my apps to make electronic music.

* My config: p4 Intell CM ASUS P4P800

* No console, no pramp. I currently use an MXL 992 condenser microphone, and an AKG C 3000.

UTILIZATION

* Installation is the simplest imaginable. I have never seen a. it launches the setup CD, you plug the card, remove the CD and voila. APRS be 5 minutes out of the box and it works IMMEDIATE its full potential. Without any manipulation. Without any rglage.

* Compatibility level I t bluff because I had an Audigy installed on my PC and without much hope and also because I did not have time, I did not care to uninstall the Audigy, I plugged the direct inspiration of the 1394 decision of the Audigy. The two maps share nobly Windows. Cubase for example, I just choose the ASIO or that of Crative Prsonus to select the sound card.

* There is nothing to configure. There is only one panel o everything is extremely simple, which for example slecteur of resolution (16/44.1 24/96), which turns "on the fly".

* The thin manual trs CD format is simple and clear as the map

GETTING STARTED

* No problem for drivers (a problem are the drivers?)

* I use Cubase

* DSOL I have not measured the latency. I have no latency and palpable enough for me.

I record track simultanment * 4 (up to 16 I could if I had 3 more of these small boiboites intelligent.) Costs 80 I simultanment.

OVERALL OPINION

The 10 / 02 / 06

* I use it for 3 months

* What I like most: intelligence, the simplicity of the whole class.

* I tried a Tascam US 122, a Terratec. The Inspire is better

* How do I find the report qualitprix? 190 Euros ... When I pulled out my credit card I thought a mistake of the seller.

ATTENTION. The use of external power connector in conjunction with firewire 6 points, can cause background noise making it virtually unusable. It does not matter at all, but I put a few hours before I perceive.

APRS ==========> 4 months suplmentaires journalire use in a professional setting:
I confirm irrprochable the quality and stability of this sound card. The sound is absolutely perfect but watch all of the same, to catch his acoustic nesprez not have the big win that would give you a classical guitar denregistrer 50 cm. It is better to be the rosette al. This is absolutely normal for a map of this price (the firebox was about 4 db more, but its not enough. The FIREPOD, she has 14 more! T he becomes comfortable)

Inspire = about 40 db
Firebox = 45 db
Firepod = 54dB

Jai measured gain Linspire because I even Prsonus is silent on the subject. If Errors and omissions excepted from home Prsonus gentlemen, you welcome to your correction.

07 / 09 / 07:

2 years APRS OF USE, pramps the curtain fell. Back to Service in extremis before the end of warranty. 2 years of loyal service in a professional but always stuck to the micro (lack of gain.) I'll spend a 24D or Saffire, but I will keep the same card as backup.
