Hardware
The FIREBOX has the highest record/playback track count of its

outputs simultaneously all at pro-quality 24-bit/96kHz. Two ultra-low
noise high-headroom microphone/instrument preamplifiers with 48V
phantom power are on the front panel for quickly and easily connecting
your favorite microphones and instruments. The FIREBOX also includes a
high quality stereo headphone output with volume adjustment on the
front panel. The headphone output has its own two-channel driver
stream which can be used as a separate stereo bus or two-channel
output giving you the ability to send a “cue” mix to the headphone
output and a main mix to the main output. Two additional balanced TRS
line inputs are located on the rear of the FIREBOX along with six
balanced TRS line outputs. Two channels of S/PDIF input/output and
MIDI input/output are also included via DB9 breakout cable. A software
router/mixer is also included for further flexibility and power. The
1/3U-wide metal chassis of the FIREBOX is designed to fit the
MAXRACK rack-mounting system
from PreSonus and can be racked with the TubePRE, COMP16, EQ3B
and HP4 for a neat and compact computer recording system.
The FIREBOX works with both four and six-pin
FireWire (IEEE 1394) connectors and can be powered by either 6-pin
FireWire bus power, or powered by an external power transformer.

comes ready-to-record with Steinberg's Cubase LE 48-track 24-bit/96K
recording software, and is also compatible with many popular ASIO/WDM
