8 preamps / line in / converters in a single unit.
The heart of a home studio 1U.
Firewire allows portability to move from one computer to another easily (unlike PCI interfaces that require little manipulation and a computer desktop type).
We appreciate being able to connect better preamps by invoice or multiple line in the S / PDIF (if you have a preamp with digital output, you can enjoy a track record of more, and possibly a better inverter than the Firepod on this input, sound card becoming passive conduit for audio digital S / PDIF).
A centerpiece of home studio evolving:
Because you can always upgrade our system by adding the best preamps, compressors, eqs, and other signal processing, until the day we want better converters (Firepod because although it meets industry standards, the famous 24/96, still a mid-range device).
The Firepod has the Midi i / o.
8 line outs that can be assigned to your will by your software (if you're not connected to your computer, because the Firepod works as a small standalone console! The line out to become live out each entry).
By assigning the outputs as needed, you can you use the line out to connect as many speaker and surround sound! plus two other stereo outputs.
UTILIZATION
I use the original drivers!
Ordi stable, no update.
8 tracks.
2.0 ms.
Windows XP Pro SP3.
CPU intel dual core 2GHz.
2GB RAM.
GETTING STARTED
After the promise of a glorious future, the Firewire connection has been snubbed by the industry which preferred the USB 2 it seems. So that most new laptops, portable ordis are not equipped with Firewire causing other compatibility issues because even with a PCMCIA adapter card art we do not fix everything because speed limits of transfer default this port (I have damaged my card before she managed to unlock this stupid quotas) that makes the card unusable (abnormal behavior, noises, glitches, etc..). That's progress my friends!
OVERALL OPINION
3 years.
I had previously used the Delta 1010 and the MBox 1.
I had to be repaired: broken contact potentiometers. This last is the eighth since I soundcard. Presonus design is certainly not what is more chic.
Given my budget at the time, I certainly referrer choice. My Firepod has rendered me great service and I intend to use it again as long as I can. Unless winning Loto-Quebec. Honest
