wondering if anyone has actually used the new PreSonus FireBox? Its been available in Europe for a month now... and just became available here in the US. I am wondering if any has tried this unit out... I am strongly considering gettting one. I would like to hear any reviews of this new interface.
any opinions? power consumption in the feild? etc. thanx -- Ian -------------------- ~ Archival Audio ~
