Presonus Limited Warranty

Presonus Audio Electronics Inc. warrants this product to be free of defects in material and

workmanship for a period of one year from the date of original retail purchase. This warranty

is enforceable only by the original retail purchaser. To be protected by this warranty, the

purchaser must complete and return the enclosed warranty card within 14 days of purchase.

During the warranty period Presonus shall, at its sole and absolute option, either repair or

replace, free of charge, any product that proves to be defective on inspection by Presonus or

its authorized service representative. To obtain warranty service, the purchaser must first call

or write Presonus at the address and telephone number printed below to obtain a Return

Authorization Number and instructions of where to return the unit for service. All inquiries

must be accompanied by a description of the problem. All authorized returns must be sent to

the Presonus repair facility postage prepaid, insured and properly package. Proof of purchase

must be presented in the form of a bill of sale, canceled check or some other positive proof

that the product is in within the warranty period. Presonus reserves the right to update any

unit returned for repair. Presonus reserves the right to change or improve design of the

product at any time without prior notice. This warranty does not cover claims for damage due

to abuse, neglect, alteration or attempted repair by unauthorized personnel, and is limited to

failures arising during normal use that are due to defects in material or workmanship in the

product. Any implied warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for

a particular purpose, are limited in duration to the length of this limited warranty. Some states

do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may

not apply to you. In no event will Presonus be liable for incidental, consequential or other

damages resulting from the broach of any express or implied warranty, including, among

other things, damage to property, damage based on inconvenience or on loss of use of the

Limited Warranty Outside of The U.S.

Presonus Audio Electronics products are warranted only in the country where purchased,

through the authorized Presonus distributor in that country, against defects in material and

workmanship. The specific period of this limited warranty shall be that which is described to

the original retail purchaser by the authorized Presonus dealer or distributor at the time of

purchase. Presonus does not, however, warrant its products against any and all defects: 1)

arising Out of materials or workmanship not provided or furnished by Presonus, or 2) resulting

from abnormal use of the product or use in violation of instructions, or 3) in products repaired

or serviced by other than authorized Presonus repair facilities, or 4) in products with removed

or defaced serial numbers, or 5) in components or parts or products expressly warranted by

another manufacturer. Presonus agrees, through the applicable authorized distributor, to

repair or replace defects covered by this limited warranty with parts or products of original or

improved design, at its option in each respect, if the defective product is shipped prior to the

end of the warranty period to the designated authorized Presonus warranty repair facility in

the country where purchased, or to the Presonus factory in the U.S., in the original packaging

or a replacement supplied by Presonus, with all transportation cost and full insurance paid

each way by the purchaser or owner. All remedies and the measure of damages are limited to

the above services. It is possible that economic loss or injury to person or property may result

from the failure of the product; however, even if Presonus has been advised of this possibility,

this limited warranty does not cover any such consequential or incidental damages. Some

states or countries do not allow the limitations or exclusion of incidental or consequential

damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Any and all warranties, express or

implied, arising by law, course of dealing, course of performance, usage of trade, or otherwise,

including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular

purpose, are limited to a period of two years from either the date of original retail purchase or,

in the event no proof of purchase date is available, the date of manufacture. Some states or

countries do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty last, so the above

limitations may not apply to you. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you

may also have other rights, which vary from state to state, country to country.

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Thank your for purchasing the Presonus FIREstation. We feel that we

have created a reliable, versatile and affordable piece of audio

equipment. It is designed to meet a multitude of professional digital

recording applications. If you have any questions or comments in

regards to this or any other piece of Presonus equipment, please feel

free to contact us!

1.2 NOTES ON COMPUTER-BASED RECORDING

The Presonus FIREstation is a recording interface only. Many problems

can arise when converting a standard computer into a DAW (Digital

Audio Workstation). Presonus only provides support for issues that

directly relate to the FIREstation. It may be necessary to contact the

manufacturer of the operating system or software to obtain additional

technical support. Presonus does not provide support for issues in

regards to operating systems, additional hardware or software. Please

check our website, www.presonus.com regularly for software,

firmware, and technical support updates.

2.1 BASIC SETUP & APPLICATIONS

2.2 Computer Setup

Place the provided driver’s software in your computer after powering it

up. If an install wizard appears, direct it to the provided CD-ROM when

prompted. If the install wizard does not appear, open the CD-ROM and

run the Auto Installer from there. Follow the directions on your screen.

NOTE: It is essential that the FIREstation not be connected to the

computer when the drivers are installed. If you accidentally leave the

FIREstation connected, disconnect the unit, uninstall the drivers,

reboot and then reinstall the drivers.

After the driver fully installs power down your computer. Turn off all

external devices before connecting the FIREstation(s). Connect all

external devices to the FIREstation(s). Power up the FIREstation and

then connect the FIREstation to the computer using the provided 6-pin

FireWire cable. Fasten your seatbelt and then power up the computer.

Three different items will be loaded on your computer at this point.

The first item that is loaded is the actual software driver. The driver

allows your computer to recognize and communicate with the

FIREstation. A control panel is also loaded. The control panel indicates

if the FIREstation is connected properly. It also indicates and helps

control sample rate and clock control (sync). A patchbay is also

loaded. The patchbay allows the user to route the inputs and outputs

of the FIREstation in computer. It is important to note that each

FIREstation has a unique Identity. So, if a FIREstation is connected

and routed, that routing scheme that is saved will only work for that

specific FIREstation. If a different FIREstation is added, it will need to

be rerouted.

2.3 Recording

When recording the headphone output can be used for headphone

monitoring and the main outs can be used for control room monitors.

This setup negates the need for an external mixer. The volume setting

of the Main/Headphone outs and the Line Mixer do not affect the

recording level.

2.4 Mixing

As far as the use of the FIREstation goes there are two different mix

modes: Internal and External. Each mode has its benefits that are

determined by your overall computer speed and capacity, familiarity

with recording software, and creativity.

Internal mode signifies that you are using software and internal plug-

ins to mix a project. In this instance only the master outputs and

headphone outputs would be used. The internal mode is preferred in

some situations dependent on the environment and other factors. For

example, wouldn’t it be nice to mix a song over headphones while

sitting in a hotel room between live performances?
