Presonus Firestation AD/DA converter and interface £130

[Ashwood1985]

Up is my Presonus Firestation.

It's an 8x8 firewire 400 interface BUT the drivers stopped being developed at windows XP and (I believe) OSX 10.2

It is however fully functional as both a 8 channel rack mixer or a 8x8 ADAT light pipe converter with an additional option of SPDIF on the back as well.

The mic preamps actually have the option to gain through a real 12AX&/ECC83 tube which is cool. Upon my test though I didnt manage to get a direct output from the pres so maybe they only work when the unit is working as an interface. [size=4]It has internal and external clocking capabilities and runs up to 48kHz.[/size]

Good condition although some of the lower ring pots are a bit scratchy but probably just need a quick clean.

This was an £800 interface/converter/mixer but with the lack of drivers for the latest operating systems, it's value has taken a hit.

Great for anyone who wants 8 channels of cheap, cheerful, but quality AD/DA conversion, or something simply to sit in 1U of rack space to reliably mix sources to a stereo output, or an especially great chance for someone running XP or an older apple OS to grab an interface that would otherwise set them back a good £500 + second hand.

All things considered price is a very reasonable [b]£130 london meet up [/b]or [b]£140 posted.[/b]
