The PreSonus FireStudio is a complete 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 comes with award-winning recording and production software, virtual instruments, plug-ins, drum loops and samples to get you started making music immediately. * PreSonus Preamplifiers The FireStudio starts with eight on-board custom-designed Class A microphone preamplifiers. Many other companies offering recording interfaces add the cheapest possible microphone preamplifier as an afterthought to the interface. PreSonus knows that every major component in the signal path from the audio source to the hard drive are extremely important and the preamplifier is a key component. 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 an 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. A PreSonus preamplifier which operates in Class A mode and at higher voltage/current ratings than off the shelf op-amps, is designed for 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. * 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 customer 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. * JetPLL The sycronization of the FireStudio is handled by patented JetPLL 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. 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. * Control Console - Zero Latency DSP Mixing/Routing The FIRESTUDIO also includes the Control Console - a 36x36x18 DSP
