A versatile solution for small project studios.
If you need a versatile recording interface with great sound and enough analog inputs and outputs to mic a large drum kit or a small band, we have two words for you: FireStudio? Project. The FireStudio Project's front panel features six mic/line inputs and two mic/instrument inputs, each with high-headroom, sweet-sounding XMAX Class A solid-state preamps, plus two line-level audio outputs, MIDI I/O, stereo S/PDIF digital I/O, and an ultra-loud headphone output. That's easily enough connections for a small project studio. The mic/instrument channels even have insert loops so you can add outboard effects. Need more Daisy-chain the FireStudio Project with a second FireStudio Project, or with any interface in the FireStudio family, for up to 52 inputs and outputs. With FireStudio-series interfaces, your rig can expand to match your growing needs.

XMAX preamps + 96 kHz sampling = great sound.
The FireStudio Project features high-quality A/D/A converters with 114 dB dynamic range and the same award-winning Class A XMAX preamps found in our popular StudioLive mixers, so you can record and play back 24-bit audio at sampling rates up to 96 kHz with remarkably low noise. And with PreSonus' lauded JetPLL jitter-elimination technology, you get the tightest, most reliable digital sync in the industry. In short, the FireStudio Project provides the audio quality you need to succeed.

Plentiful I/O-and expandable too!
The FireStudio Project's six mic/line inputs and two mic/instrument inputs make it extremely versatile, enabling you to use it with almost any source. You also get two line-level audio outputs, MIDI I/O, stereo S/PDIF digital I/O, and an ultra-loud headphone output. If you need more inputs, simply daisy-chain the FireStudio Project with a second FireStudio Project, or with any interface in the FireStudio family, for up to 52 inputs and outputs. With FireStudio-series interfaces, your rig can expand to match your growing needs.

Zero-latency monitoring and software mixing and routing.
The FireStudio Project features an internal 18-input software mixer/router that allows you to set up 10 cue mixes. A mix control blends the input signal with the computer playback stream for zero-latency monitoring so you can overdub new tracks without hearing annoying delays. You can set up cue mixes in our Universal Control control-panel software or amazing Studio One Artist DAW software for Mac and Windows, both of which are included.

World-class recording software included.
The FireStudio Project works with virtually all Mac and Windows audio-recording software but it offers additional functionality when used with PreSonus' Studio One 3 Artist DAW. Built by creative people for creative music production, Studio One 3 is easy to learn and enables you to compose, record, and produce your masterpiece without getting distracted by the tools. Studio One also enjoys a robust online community of enthusiastic and helpful users you can turn to for advice.

A professional solution designed for the project studio.
A great companion for any recording software, the FireStudio Project comes equipped with Studio One Artist to provide you with a complete recording solution right out of the box. So if you need a versatile, expandable, professional recording interface that is designed specifically for project studios, check out the FireStudio Project at your favorite PreSonus dealer.
