4.1 USING MULTIPLE FIRESTUDIO FAMILY INTERFACES
Universal Control allows you to connect up to three FireStudio Tubes or to connect any member of the
FireStudio family of interfaces with any other. Once you have installed the Universal Control and FireStudio-
family driver on your computer, no further installation is required for any FireStudio product to connect to your
system.
PreSonus supports the connection of up to 4 devices or a limit of 52 inputs and outputs (whichever comes first)
to any one system at a time. However, the ability to use more than two units simultaneously depends on your
computer’s specifications and optimization. If you plan to use 2 or more units at the same time, installation of a
dedicated FireWire bus with a tested and approved FireWire chipset and at least 2 GB of RAM is highly
recommended. A list of approved chipsets can be found in Section 5.1 of this manual. Updated lists are available
at
www.presonus.com .
Below is a diagram showing the possible device combinations that you can use with your FireStudio Tube and
the resulting input and output count.
