4.1 Expanding Your I/O
You can easily connect additional microphone preamplifiers to expand your inputs and
outputs on your FireStudio via ADAT/SMUX optical light pipe connectors.
• The DigiMax FS can connect to the FireStudio using 88.2k and 96k sample
rates via dual SMUX optical ADAT using 2 standard optical cables audio.
• If you are recording with sample rate settings of 44.1k or 48k, you can connect
2 DigiMax FS’ to the FireSTudio for 16 additional preamp inputs and line
level outputs.
Note that ADAT channels 9-16 can only be assigned within your recording
software (DAW). You cannot mix or route the Auxiliary ADAT channels 9-16
in the FireStudio Control Console. Each DigiMax FS or other digital preamp
will connect with 1 optical cable at 44.1k or 48k.
• You can also further expand your FireStudio by connecting to the Digital
SPDIF I/O. Two PreSonus Eureka channel strips can be connected using the
Eureka’s AD192 digital output card. Simply connect the SPDIF output on the
Eureka to the SPDIF input on the FireStudio for two additional microphone
preamplifiers.
NOTE: Any time you connect an external digital device you must make sure your
Master and Slave Clock Source settings are appropriate. Only 1 device can be the
Master device that will generate clock. Every other device connected must be
Slaved to the Master device. You must also make sure that Sampling Rate is set
the same for each connected device. See section 3.4 Hardware Settings above.
