PreSonus FireStudio Mobile
The FireStudio Mobile is a compact, bus-powered FireWire interface built into a rugged 1/3-rackspace metal chassis that brings professional recording capabilities to any studio setup without compromise. Its tight form factor and sealed controls maintain reliability in demanding session environments, while the internal switching power supply delivers full 48V phantom power and 30V preamp supply even when running on FireWire bus power alone. This interface handles serious recording work in a footprint small enough to integrate into portable rigs or space-constrained home studios.
Recording Quality & Conversion
The FireStudio Mobile pairs award-winning Class A XMAX preamps with Burr-Brown converters and JetPLL jitter-elimination technology for transparent, low-noise tracking up to 96 kHz. With 118 dB dynamic range, 101 dB SNR, and 0.008% THD, the interface captures vocal detail, instrument nuance, and ambient information across the full frequency spectrum—essential for mixing with confidence later. The shockproof reinforced metal chassis, sealed rotary controls, and military-grade circuit board ensure session reliability and consistent results session after session.
I/O Flexibility & Mixing Options
Eight total analog inputs—two mic/instrument inputs with up to +70 dB mic gain and six line-level inputs—accommodate simultaneous multitrack tracking and direct hardware integration for synthesizers, drum machines, and outboard gear. Stereo S/PDIF digital I/O, MIDI in/out, and two FireWire ports enable daisy-chaining up to four FireStudio family devices for expanded I/O when session complexity grows. Zero-latency software mixing and an internal ten-input mixer/router let you construct multiple independent cue mixes simultaneously without delay—critical for tight overdub sessions and remote collaboration.
