FireWire Interface/Software Package is Your Studio in a Box!
The PreSonus FireStudio Project interface and software bundle fits the bill nicely when you're serious about making great recordings but don't have a big-time budget. The FireStudio Project's FireWire interface has eight Class A mic preamps, 24-bit/96kHz sample rate conversion, near-zero-latency monitoring, and an array of input and output options. You also get mixer router software, plus PreSonus' ProPak software suite, which includes Steinberg Cubase 4 LE 48-track recording and sequencing software, over 20 plug-ins, and over 2GB of drum loops and samples, all included with FireStudio Project.

PreSonus FireStudio Project Interface and Software Bundle at a Glance:
  • Quality mic preamps
  • Advanced platform technology: DICE II and JetPLL
  • Low jitter, high conversion performance
  • Near-zero latency DSP mixing/routing
  • ProPak Software Suite

Quality mic preamps
The FireStudio Project starts with eight custom-designed high-voltage, discrete, XMAX Class A microphone preamplifiers. The job of a microphone preamplifier is to boost microphone level signals to line level so that the signal can be converted from analog to digital. This mic to line boost is generally a preamplification of over 400 times the voltage of the original mic level signal. This preamplification stage is one of the most important stages that the signal will go through before converted to digital, and is why a high performance preamplifier is important to achieving great results.

Advanced platform technology: DICE II and JetPLL
The FireStudio Project is loaded with the new ultra powerful DICE II FireWire chipset delivering 26 channels of simultaneous inputs and outputs at professional-quality 24-bit. The strength of the DICE II chip lies with its ability to easilly handle high channel count at high bit-rate while minimizing latency and load on your computer.

Low jitter, high conversion performance
The synchronization of the FireStudio Project is handled by patented JetPLLTM jitter reduction technology. JetPLL incorporates noise shaping to virtually remove all audio band jitter. JetPLL ensures the highest converter performance possible, resulting in better stereo separation 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 frequencies. JetPLL 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 Project.

Near-zero latency DSP mixing/routing
The FireStudio Project also includes the FireControl mixer/router a 18x10 DSP mixer/router for flexible mixing and direct routing any input to any output including the headphone output, with zero latency. The FireControl software application lives between your FireStudio Project interface and your DAW software enabling the mixing and routing of input streams coming into your FireStudio Studio Project interface and playback stream coming from your DAW software. The FireControl is capable of creating up to five stereo mixes and then routing to the outputs of your FireStudio Project for headphone mixes and various aux sends. This way everyone in the band and the recording engineer can have a custom mix. Also, the FireStudio Project is loaded with internal flash memory so that all FireControl settings are saved and recalled in the FireStudio Project 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 Software Suite (v3)
The FireStudio Project also comes with the new ProPak Software Suite (v3), 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 4 audio production software, BFD Lite, Wave Arts TrackPlug LE, MasterVerb LE, Discrete Drums, and more!

Customer Reviews
 Field and Studio, this rocks!  
by Ben Balser, ACT from Southeast Louisiana, March 10, 2008
Music Background:  Live Sound, Composer, Post Production for video and broadcast


“I do broadcast and video production, as well a music composition in the studio. I wanted a flexible I/O solution for my Mac tower and MacBook Pro. It had to work with Final Cut Pro, SoundTrack Pro, Logic (that it also works with GarageBand is a plus, too). This unit does it all! The sound quality is outstanding, pre amps are super awesome. Flexible, powerful, and at a reasonable price. I...” Read More
