FEATURES
26-input/26-outputFireWire Recording System
FireStudio is a 26x26 24-bit/96kHz professional recording
system combining eight XMAX Class A PreSonus mic
preamps, up to sixteen channels of optical ADAT
input/output as well as S/PDIF and MIDI input/output.
Wordclock I/O helps integrate the interface into a professional
environment, while a software Control Console delivers a 36x 36x18 zero-latency
mixer/router. FireStudio also includes the ProPak Complete, a bundle of over 2GB of award-winning
recording and production software, virtual instruments,
plug-ins, drum loops and samples to get you started
making music immediately.
◆ Eight custom-designed high-voltage, dis-
crete, XMAX Class A mic/line preamps with
trim controls. Inputs 1/2 accept instruments
as well. Preamps are characterized by high
headroom, low noise, wide dynamic range
and wide frequency range. Dual neutrik
connector accepts 1/4˝ and XLR inputs.
◆ Ultra powerful FireWire chipset deliver 26
channels of simultaneous inputs/outputs at
24-bit/96kHz. Easily handles high channel
count at high bit-rate while minimizing
latency and load on your computer.
◆ 48v phantom power, switchable in banks of
four (1 - 4 and 5 - 8)
◆ Sixteen channels of optical ADAT I/O (eight
channels via 96kHz dual S/MUX)
◆ S/PDIF I/O on RCA coaxial connectors
◆ MIDI input and output
◆ Two headphone outputs
◆ Synch is handled by JetPLL jitter reduction
technology. Incorporates noise shaping to
virtually remove all audio band jitter.
Ensures the highest converter performance
possible, resulting in better stereo separa-
tion and clearer more transparent audio.
◆ JetPLL delivers ultra-fast locking to any
digital format, through a wide range of
frequencies and is extremely robust, and
tolerant of wide variations in clock frequen-
cies. Ensures near perfect clock performance
when networking audio devices thus
creating the most stable and robust
synchronization to the computer and all
devices synchronization with the FireStudio.
Control Console - Zero Latency DSP Mixing/Routing
The FIRESTUDIO also includes the Control Console - a 36x36x18 DSP mixer/router for flexible
mixing and direct routing any input to any output including the headphone output, with zero
latency. The Control Console software application lives between your FireStudio interface and
your DAW software enabling the mixing and routing of input streams coming into your FireStudio
interface and playback stream coming from your DAW software. The Control Console is capable
of creating up to nine stereo mixes and then routing to the outputs of your FireStudio for head-
phone mixes and various aux sends. This way everyone in the band and the recording engineer
can have a custom mix. Also, the FireStudio is loaded with internal flash memory so all Control
Console Mixer and Ouput Router settings are saved and recalled in the FireStudio during power
off/on. This allows you to configure your FireStudio as a stand-alone device, without being
connected to a computer for uses such as a submixer, A/D and D/A-converter, headphone mixer,
format converter, instrument or microphone pre-amplifier!
ProPak Complete Software Suite
The PreSonus FireStudio also comes with the new ProPak Complete Software Suite, which
includes more than 20 real time plug-ins, a number of virtual instruments and over 2 GB of drum
loops and samples including: Steinberg - Cubase LE; Propellerheads Reason Adapted PreSonus
Edition; IK Multimedia - Amplitube LE; FXpansion - BFD lite; Drumagog LE; Sonoma Wire
Works-Riffworks Jr.; Wave Arts – TrackPlug LE, MasterVerb LE and more!
Optional Monitor Station Remote (MSR)
The optional MSR (monitor station remote) for the FireStudio is a complete
surround/stereo speaker manager, input switcher and communication system
delivering a more efficient and flexible work flow. The MSR connects to the
FireStudio via standard Cat 5 Ethernet cable to keep your work space as clean
as possible. There are also two headphone outputs on the FireStudio for even
further flexibility and convenience.
