Further Details

The PreSonus FireStudio is the next generation in FireWire recording  systems from PreSonus. Based on the award-winning Firepod, the FireStudio  combines superior analog circuit design with new advanced platform  technology to deliver enhanced performance for music recording and  creation.   The FireStudio is a 26x26 24-bit/96k professional recording system  combining eight Class A PreSonus microphone preamplifiers, up to sixteen  channels of optical ADAT input / output, S/PDIF and MIDI input / output,  along with the Control Console - a 36x36x18 zero latency mixer/router.   The 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.   PreSonus Class A Preamplifiers  The FireStudio starts with eight custom-designed high-voltage, discrete,  Class A microphone preamplifiers. PreSonus knows that the preamplifier is  a key component in the sonic quality of a recording. 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. A cheap "off the shelf op-amp" type  mic preamp that is found in most interfaces translates into thin, noisy  and harsh results.   All PreSonus preamplifiers are built with the same three elements:   High Voltage - The preamplifier in the FireStudio runs on power rails of  30V. Most off the shelf op amp based designs run on power rails of 10V to  18V. Higher voltage power rails deliver more headroom, deeper lows,  smoother highs and an overall fuller sound.   Discrete - no op amps. Only transistors, resistors and capacitors. Op  amps add noise, coloration and harshness to a signal. Discrete designs  deliver ultra low noise and transparancy.   Class A - When a circuit is running in Class A mode the circuit is always  in an "on" state operating at its optimal voltage requirements. Class A  mode has zero crossover distortion and delivers purer, clearer and more  musical sonics than class A/B designs which are found in most op-amp  circuits.   The net result of a PreSonus preamp is is high headroom, low noise, wide  dynamic range and wide frequency range, and most importantly, musicality  and transparency - smooth highs, solid deep lows, and everything in  between.   New Advanced Platform Technology - DICE II and JetPLL  The FireStudio 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.   The sycronization of the FireStudio is handled by patented JetPLLTM  jitter reduction technology. JetPLLTM incorporates noise shaping to  virtually remove all audio band jitter. JetPLLTM ensures the highest  converter performance possible, resulting in better stereo separation and  clearer more transparent audio. JetPLLTM 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. JetPLLTM  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.   Ins and Outs  The FireStudio is loaded with I/O for an extremely flexible and  expandable recording system. The FireStudio starts with eight Class A  custom-designed PreSonus microphone preamplifiers. You can add additional  preamplifiers or analog inputs via the dual optical light pipe ports on  the rear panel. You add up to two DigiMax FS, for a total of twenty-four  microphone preamplifiers all in only three rack spaces! Additionally  word/clock I/O for ultra tight synchronization, MIDI I/O and SPDIF I/O  are on the FireStudio for further expandability.   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 headphone  mixes and various aux sends. This way everyone in the band and the  recording engineer can have a custom mix.   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) (product code 328360)  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.
