32 channels of lightpipe and FireWire!

PreSonus expands the FireStudio line with the FireStudio Lightpipe, a 24-bit/96kHz lightpipe interface that bridges between lightpipe-equipped multi-channel preamps and your computer via FireWire. This allows you to mix and match any of your favorite preamps with lightpipe and have them easily transfer to your computer and into your DAW. The FireStudio Lightpipe also serves as a great way to interface other digital devices such as digital mixers, AD/DA converters, or ADAT recorders with your computer. The FireStudio Lightpipe is a multi-purpose tool for any studio!

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
