3.1 FEATURES
The following is a summary of the features of the FIREstation:
3.2 Switchable Preamps
The two preamps on the FIREstation can be switched between solid-
state and tube driven. The outer knob of the preamp controls gain and
the inner knob controls tube drive. The tube drive is completely
disengaged when the knob is turned fully counter clockwise until the
knob clicks.
3.3 Zero-Latency Line Mixer
The FIREstation utilizes an onboard line mixer that eliminates latency
(monitoring delay). Every channel of the FIREstation can be routed to
the onboard line mixer. The mixer can be functional whether
connected to a computer or not.
3.4 Volume Control
The dual concentric volume control knob controls the amount of
volume to the headphone jack on the inner knob and to the master
outputs on the outer knob.
3.5 Clock Control
The FIREstation has BNC Word Clock connectors for external (slave)
and internal (master) Word Clock sync. A MIDI I/O is provided for
additional machine control including MTC, MMC, and MIDI. The ADAT
I/O can also provide or carry Word Clock as well.
