- 24-bit/96K firewire (IEEE 1394)
- 16 inputs/6 outputs simultaneous
record/playback channels
- 2 SuperChannels (tube microphone/instrument
preamplifier with analog limiter)
- 8 XMAX microphone preamplifiers
- 2 PreSonus microphone/instrument
preamplifiers
- 6 balanced TRS line outputs
- MIDI Input/Output
- 16x8 FireControl DSP mixer/router
- JetPLL Sync for improved imaging and
clarity
- High performance A/D/A converters (114
dynamic range)
- Windows and Macintosh compatible
- ProPak Software Suite including Cubase LE
4 audio production software
Computer System Requirements
Below are the minimum computer system
requirements for your FireStudio Tube.
Windows
- OS: Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista
- CPU/Clock: or Athlon 900MHz (1.5 GHz or
higher recommended)
- Memory(RAM): 1 GB (more recommended)
Macintosh
- OS: MacOS X 10.4.x or later (10.5
supported with driver update)
- CPU/Clock: PowerPC G4/Dual 1 GHZ or faster,
all Intel-based Mac models.
- Memory(RAM): 1 GB (more recommended)
Windows and Macintosh
Systems
- IEEE 1394 FireWire 400 Port
- Internet connection
- DVD-ROM drive
- Internal or external 7200RPM storage drive
is highly recommended
Note that the speed of your
processor, amount of RAM and size and speed of
your hard drive will greatly affect the overall
performance of your recording system. Also, a
more powerful system (faster processor with more
RAM) will allow for lower latency (signal delay)
that you might experience while monitoring audio
or MIDI signals.
Monitor resolution for both PC
and Macintosh should be no lower than 1024x768
pixels.
