Frankfurt Musikmesse: PreSonus is now shipping the Firebox – a compact yet powerful FireWire recording system with the ability to record and playback six inputs and ten outputs simultaneously at professional-grade 24-bit/96k resolution.

The Firebox is housed in a compact 1/3U wide tough little metal chassis which also fits in the PreSonus MaxRack Rack-mounting System. The Firebox includes two high quality PreSonus microphone/ instrument preamplifiers, two analog line inputs, eight balanced analog line outputs, headphone output as well as SPDIF and MIDI input/output. For enhanced portability, the Firebox can be powered by either a six-pin FireWire connector or the included external power supply.

The Firebox ships complete with Steinberg’s Cubase LE 48-track audio production software.
