The PreSonus FirePod makes recording into software such as ProTools and Nuendo simple. Eight inputs allow for multiple drum mics, bass, vocals and guitar to be recorded simultaneously. The ability to record between a 44.1k sample rate and a 96k rate grants either smaller file size or higher quality audio. The FirePod’s design came together with record production in mind.
Do you have a favorite vinyl record and wish you could hear it on your iPod? The PreSonus FirePod makes this possible when used with any type of recording software. Connect two RCA (phono) to ¼-inch cables from your stereo to your Firepod. Hit record on your software, play the record and the Firepod will convert the analog signal to digital.
If you own a reel-to-reel tape machine, you can go from the stereo out of your FirePod into two channels of the tape deck to mix down. This process often results in a warmer, less edgy tone. Studio engineers often prefer the sound of analog tape to a fully digital recording.
A FirePod can be daisy-chained with one or two more FirePods. This makes for 16 to 24 total inputs. Doing so sacrifices the S/PDIF input for transfer between digital formats such as digital tape, but increases the FirePod’s abilities to record larger ensembles.
