1.1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the PreSonus V-FIRE. PreSonus Audio Electronics has designed the
V-FIRE utilizing high-grade components to insure optimum performance that will last a
lifetime. The V-FIRE is a 24 bit/96k R-BUS to FireWire computer recording system for both
Windows XP and Apple OSX . The V-FIRE allows users to convert Roland’s R-BUS digital
audio format to FireWire ( IEEE 1394), thus providing a multi-channel computer interface for
most Roland products equipped with R-BUS output.
The V-Fire features two R-BUS ports and two FireWire ports allowing sixteen channels of
digital audio to stream at up 24-bit 96K sample rate. The V-FIRE has LED indicators for R-
BUS1, R-BUS 2 and master sync.
The V-FIRE is accessed via a software control panel enabling the user to select the sample
rate(44.1K,48K,88.2K and 96K), latency, buffer size and clock source.
We suggest that you use this manual to familiarize yourself with the features, applications and
correct connection procedure for your V-FIRE before trying to connect it to your computer.
This will hopefully alleviate any unforeseen issues that you may encounter during installation
and set up.
