 Firebox not for everyone Nov 01, 2008
Now that I have been able to run the Presonus Firebox through the paces I am starting to not like it. Everything I have done with it so far is all VO work so none of this review is based on instrument recording. There are a few of us that have done VO work through the Firebox and I would rate all of our voices as mid to high on volume. Thus I have not run into any problems with the unit until I recorded someone with a softer voice. I had everything cranked and it still was not enough. Now I have a noisy VO that needs to be redone. Yes, I have spent many, many hours trying to repair the audio and bring the noise down but have come to the conclusion that it will take less time to re-record than to continue to beat the dead horse.
I will not put all the blame on Presonus, the unit comes with a software booster that adds about 12dB and if I crank the levels on the Firebox and record into Soundtrack it becomes useable for a softer voice but still not great. The software gain does ad noise so it is not a great solution.
Since running into this problem I have read a number of other folks out there with similar issues. So if you have a medium to loud voice the Firebox has a very nice warm sound for the money. If you might record someone with a softer voice I would look elsewhere.
 didn't work well with my PC Jul 25, 2008
I got this with a set of studio speakers. It did not cooperate with windows and was not very easy to set up. Setting it up to run with Reason was another story and I was not successful.
I have seen live DJ's use this with Apple laptops and they say it works great with it's Zero-latency feature.

Some digital noise, sensitive to setup Jun 21, 2008
I have had my Firebox for a while, using it with Windows XP and Mac OS X (Tiger and Leopard) on both an iBook and a Mac Pro (Intel). It's pretty easy to set up and use, and all the functions seem to work fine.
My issue has been with digital noise (high screeching noise, low volume) that seems to be related to the firewire cable. If I connect through my monitor (the Mac's monitor has Firewire and USB connectors that come up through the video cable) the level of that noise makes the card unusable. When I use a single cable, connected to the front of the Mac Pro, the noise is still present, but manageable (I turn up the Firebox and turn down my amp). I have updated the drivers and firmware, but no improvement has been seen.
I use this as my main sound card for the Mac Pro, and for recording with GarageBand and Cubase, along with a synthesizer connected via S/PDIF, and it all seems to work fine except that the S/PDIF interface needs to get its synchronization from the device that's connected (synthesizer in my case), and if you turn off the synthesizer, the Firebox stops working. Of course you can work around this by using an analog connection between the synthesizer and the Firebox, but then you have two additional conversions in the process (digital synth -> synth D/A convertor -> Firebox A/D convertor) with the additional possibility of analog cable noise.
My overall satisfaction with the product is reduced significantly by the digital noise problem, however, and I'll be looking for a higher quality product next time.
Plenty of Gain on the preamps (with the boost engaged) Jun 10, 2008
I've been using the Firebox now for several months. I use it for mobile recording and play back tracks whenever I'm performing live. So far, it has been perfect for my needs. It's solid as a rock as far as the construction. The preamps have no hiss and the headphone amp is WAY louder than I need (which is nice whenever you are recording a drummer). I was worried about not having enough gain on the mic preamps based on another review I read. Well, in the software control panel of the Firebox is a 'Gain Boost' switch that gives you an extra 15dB of boost for lower gain mics.
