Fighting fire with tubes

Presonus add to their computer recording line
Three new products were in evidence on Presonus’s NAMM booth. The comprehensive FireStudio Tube offers no fewer than 16 analogue inputs and 10 outputs in a 1U rackmounting Firewire interface.

Two tube-based ‘super channel’ preamps are complemented by eight further mic preamps on the rear panel, plus six balanced line inputs. There’s also MIDI I/O, a headphone output, and a matrix mixer allowing inputs to be monitored at very low latency.

The more modest AudioBox USB is a simple stereo USB interface with two mic preamps, balanced line outputs and MIDI I/O, while the Digimax 8D is a stand-alone eight-channel preamp that uses Presonus’s high-quality XMAX preamp circuitry. The first two channels also feature high-impedance instrument inputs, and the outputs are available on balanced jacks or ADAT lightpipe.
