1.3 System Requirements

Below are the minimum computer system requirements for your FIRESTUDIO.

Windows

- OS: Microsoft Windows XP SP1

- Computer: Windows compatible computer with FireWire port.

- CPU/Clock: Pentium, Celeron with 1.6Ghz or higher

- Memory(RAM): 512 MB (1 GB recommended)

2 Installation and Hardware Overview

2.2 Hardware Controls and Analog/Digital Connections

Your FIRESTUDIO can simultaneously record/playback a total of 26 inputs and

outputs. The following will outline each connection type in detail from left to right on

the front and back panels:

Front Panel:

a.) 48 Volt Phantom Power: These two switches will activate phantom power for

microphone preamps 1-4 and 5-8 respectively. Phantom Power is only active

on the microphone XLR input.

b.) Neutrik Combo Connectors: These connectors can accept either 1/4” TS/TRS

or XLR inputs. Channels 1 and 2 feature an instrument level input on the 1/4”

connector for use as a Direct Injection input for guitar, bass, etc. Channels 3-8

accept line level input on the 1/4” connector. The XLR input on all channels

accepts microphone level input.

c.) Gain/Trim Controls: Each channel has its own gain/trim control and clip light.

The clip light will illuminate red when the preamp is clipping.

d.) Headphone Output: This headphone output can be assigned any output from

your DAW or the FIRESTUDIO Control Console, and has its own level control.

e.) Main Level: This level control will attenuate the Main Output on the back of

the FIRESTUDIO.

f.) Sync LED: This sync LED will illuminate RED when sync is NOT present and

BLUE when sync is present, indicating whether or not your FIRESTUDIO is

properly connected and installed to your computer, or properly synced to

another device (via ADAT, SPDIF, or BNC).

g.) Power Switch: This power switch will turn on/off power for the FIRESTUDIO.

Back Panel:

a.) Power Connector: This power connection allows the included power adapter to

screw tightly in, insuring that power is not accidentally disconnected from the

FIRESTUDIO.

b.) FireWire Ports: The included FireWire cable will connect to either port here

from your computer. The other port can be used to daisy-chain another

FIRESTUDIO.

2 Installation and Hardware Overview

c.) MIDI I/O: The standard MIDI input and output allow connectivity of any MIDI

device to your FIRESTUDIO to be used in your DAW software.

d.) BNC Wordclock I/O: These standard BNC connectors allow you to connect any

device with BNC input or output to your FIRESTUDIO. This is to allow the

FIRESTUDIO to function as a master clock, or to slave to any other device.

e.) Dual SMUX Optical ADAT: These two inputs and outputs can be used to

connect any 96k Dual SMUX ADAT device via standard optical cable to the

FIRESTUDIO. These inputs and outputs can also function at 48k, allowing the

connection of one bank (8 channels) or two banks of ADAT (16 channels). For

more on how to use the optical ADAT I/O, please refer to section 4.1.

f.) SPDIF I/O: These RCA type connectors are for digital SPDIF connections up

to a 96k samplerate.

g.) RCA: This unbalanced RCA input is for use with any device with an analog

RCA output. This input is ONLY for use with the optional Monitor Station

Remote, and allows quick comparison of any other playback material with the

incoming input (ie; comparing your mix to a CD, etc).

h.) CAT-5 Connector: The optional MSR (Monitor Station Remote) connects here.

For more information on the MSR, please refer to the PreSonus website

(www.presonus.com).

i.) Main Out: This stereo TRS balanced output derives its output signal from your

DAW, the FIRESTUDIO Control Console software, or the optional MSR

remote. This output level is attenuated by the Main Level control on the front

panel.

j.) General Purpose Outputs: These stereo TRS balanced outputs can be used for

any purpose, and derive their output signal from your DAW, the FIRESTUDIO

Control Console software, or the optional MSR remote. There are no level

attenuators on the FIRESTUDIO for these outputs.

k.) Line Inputs 1 and 2: These are the 1/4” balanced line inputs for channels 1 and

2. These can be used with the preamp sends on channels 1 and 2 to insert an

external processor, or simply as line level inputs as found on channels 3-8 on

the front panel.

l.) Preamp 1 and 2 Sends: This TRS balanced output will output any analog

signal coming into the respective preamp BEFORE it is converted into digital

format and sent to your computer. This can be used to send the preamp signal

out to an external processor (ie; compressor, eq, etc), and back into the

respective line input for that channel, where it is then converted and sent to

your computer. These outputs are ONLY for channels 1 and 2 respectively.

2 Installation and Hardware Overview

2.3 Standalone Operation

Your FIRESTUDIO is capable of operating in Stand Alone mode without a computer.

The settings you make in the FIRESTUDIO Control Console application will be stored

in flash memory on the FIRESTUDIO itself, allowing you to disconnect the FireWire

connection from your computer and use any routing setup or hardware setting already

made.

Here’s an example:

If you are tracking a live show, you could route all of your inputs to analog or

digital outputs (using the FIRESTUDIO Control Console) to feed a hard-disk

recorder or other recorder for backup. If your computer stops working for any

reason, your backup recording will be unaffected, as all of the routing you’ve

created has been stored in flash memory in the FIRESTUDIO. This eliminates

the need for a more elaborate live recording setup involving splitter snakes, etc.

2.4 Cubase LE Quick Start Up

Use the included Cubase LE installation CD to install Cubase LE. Proceed through the

installation as it prompts you. Make sure to keep the CD envelope sleeve handy to

reference the serial number during installation.

1. Once Cubase LE is installed, launch Cubase LE. First you must set Cubase LE

to the FireStudio drivers. Click the Devices menu and then Device Setup.
