check it out- Presonus Firestation. 8 analog i/o, 8 adat i/o, wordcock, spdif, plus 2 mic/inst pre�s with variable tube stage. firewire i/o connection for recording and a line mixer for monitoring.

seems pretty cool and simple. one cable connection to your mac/pc, and the mixer section for making your own monitor mix independant of recording path. me like.

firestation

better pics

haha lol�! good one, i wont even edit it out.

but it seems cool no? the only potential downside i can think of is that there�s no gain on line ins except one and two. otherwise seems like a tight little product. also works as a standalone ad/da converter box. nice huh? any objections?

looks well tasty tho! - hmmmm!

it seems to have gain 'level' tho for all the inputs if you look at the diagram images.

ah! actually, its in the maunal: there are mini screws on TOP of the rack for adjusting pre adc line level gain! not bad. probly one of the best spec'd interfaces out there in its price range.

no 96k? not that it is needed, but strange to see manufacturers making products that don't support it. I'd rather have a unit that does 24/48 well, then one that simply supports 96k when none of us are using that sample rate.

Looks cool. If they'll come out w/ OS X drivers
for the mac it looks like a good solution.

H- to be forced by all these "pro" companies to
regress OS is weird IMHO

I think the the StAudio DSP3000 looks like a better choice. I'll be demoing one as soon as they hit the stores.
