The story The Little Engine That Could tells of a small locomotive that was able to pull a long train over a mountain because it was willing to work hard and thought it could succeed. Successful bands are a lot like that. So is the FireStudio™ Mobile. This little bus-powered audio/MIDI interface is ready, willing, and able to work hard and travel anywhere. The FireStudio Mobile features six line-level inputs and two mic/instrument inputs with our sweet-sounding, high-headroom Class A XMAX mic preamplifiers. Add stereo S/PDIF digital I/O, and you have the most inputs of any mobile audio interface. Need more? Daisy-chain the FireStudio Mobile with a second FireStudio Mobile, or with any interface in the FireStudio family, for up to 52 inputs and outputs. A mix control blends the input signal with the computer playback stream for zero-latency monitoring. The FireStudio Mobile features the same award-winning Class A XMAX preamps and Burr-Brown converters (with 118 dB dynamic range!) found in our popular StudioLive® AI mixers. Record and play back at sampling rates up to 96 kHz, with remarkably low noise. And with PreSonus’ lauded JetPLL jitter-elimination technology, you get the tightest, most reliable digital sync in the industry. As a result, the FireStudio Mobile provides the sonic quality you need to succeed. Although the FireStudio Mobile comes with an external power supply, it operates perfectly on FireWire bus power. In fact, thanks to an amazing internal switching power supply, it’s the only interface that delivers true 48V phantom power when bus-powered, and it also supplies a full 30V to the preamps, so your mics always sound their best. All of this hardware is jammed into a 1/3-rackspace box that is built like a locomotive, with a shockproof, reinforced metal chassis; sealed rotary controls; military-grade circuit board; chassis-mounted jacks; and full EMI shielding. And the FireStudio Mobile’s screaming-loud headphone output ensures you can hear your music loud and clear, even in noisy locations. The FireStudio Mobile’s internal ten-input software mixer/router allows you to create three cue mixes with zero latency. A mix control blends the input signal with the computer playback stream for zero-latency monitoring so you can overdub new tracks without hearing annoying delays. You can set up cue mixes in our Universal Control software or in our amazing Studio One® Artist DAW software for Mac® and Windows®, both of which are included. The FireStudio Mobile works with virtually all Mac and Windows audio-recording software but it offers additional functionality when used with PreSonus’ Studio One 3 Artist DAW. Built by creative people for creative music production, Studio One 3 is easy to learn and enables you to compose, record, and produce your masterpiece without getting distracted by the tools. Studio One also enjoys a robust online community of enthusiastic and helpful users you can turn to for advice. Whether you're just getting into recording or are a veteran producer who wants to go mobile, the FireStudio Mobile will give you great sound in a rugged chassis that's ready to hit the road when you are. The perfect companion for any recording software, the FireStudio Mobile comes equipped with Studio One Artist to provide you with a complete recording solution right out of the box.
