"Great Product"

I have had this product for about a month now and it's very easy to hook up and use...The audio in the headphones can make you deaf, so keeping the sound turned down is a great key!! I had no problems with installing the software. The only issue I had was trying to figure out what goes into what output. Also, I had to purchase a firewire port for my pc, which the guy never told me about and I had to figure it out on my own, but it was very very easy...I haven't had any problems yet and don't really anticipate any!!

I bought this because some engineers on a recording forum thought it was a good investment. I bought it B-stock and I can't find anything wrong with it. Two mic inputs, bunch of line ins and you can use studio monitors with it too. You can record multiple tracks simultaneously in your DAW thanks to a software package that comes with it. Headphone Jack is really powerful, no need to crank this one to 11! Built in clip LEDs and firewire interface is a good touch. Phantom 48V is built in, so it's useful if you have a few condensers lying around. Also seems very sturdy and well built. Overall it was a good investment and I will purchase more PreSonus products in the future.
