Re: Firewire audio interface recommendations - late reply

[Nick <ParadoxQuine@gmail.com>]

hmmm tough comparison. except now I have to ask a few questions :P

What is a post-converter?

It looks to me like the audiofire 4 has midi in/out too so they're even on that front, right?

It looks like the firebox has preamps, and one more out, so what I'm wondering is: what does the audiofire 4 have that the firebox doesn't? I don't currently know what would make one consider the audiofire over the firebox, so please let me know if there are things. The things I care about way more than anything are still audio clarity, having virtually 0 lag, and (It sounds like all firewire interfaces do this though) being able to select each in/out/headphones/etc seperately in ableton live.

thanks again,
Nick

for some time), I really like the Presonus Firebox. There is one advantage
of it over a lot of other interfaces, and that is that it has an analogue
level knob (post-converter) for the main outs.

Also you can assign -10 or +4 line levels to the minijack output of the a2, which gives you the knob control, not with the main output but enough for monitoring.

This is why they call the a2 4in-6out.
