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.
