wondering if anyone has actually used the new PreSonus FireBox? Its been available in Europe for a month now... and just became available here in the US. I am wondering if any has tried this unit out... I am strongly considering gettting one. I would like to hear any reviews of this new interface.
any opinions? power consumption in the feild? etc. thanx -- Ian -------------------- ~ Archival Audio ~

so what your saying is, you plugged in an inspire into a macbook pro, with no additional power required? awesome! sadly the firebox can't do that, but i'd love to hear people that have had success stories

Here my experience with the Firebox:
The first one would not sync on my G5, so I got a new one. This one did, however, I had no sound unless I started the mixer panel and quit it again each time after booting my computer. I wrote to the support about it and they said this was normal... A short while ago then the Firebox died with smoke coming out the back. It was in use for about 6 months. A short review, I am afraid, but the Firebox was more of a "Fire-Hazard" to me than an audio interface. |
