PreSonus FireStudio Project – 10×10 FireWire Audio Interface with 8 XMAX Preamps (Tested & Working)
🎛️ Pro Studio Classic • Legacy DAW Compatible • Built to Track Like a Beast
Bring back the era when audio interfaces were tanks and preamps actually mattered. This PreSonus FireStudio Project is a heavyweight legend from the golden age of digital recording — built for serious tracking, flawless multi-input sessions, and that unmistakable XMAX tone. Whether you’re reviving an XP rig or feeding your legacy DAW the cleanest analog signals around, this rackmount workhorse is still a studio-grade solution that refuses to quit.
This unit was fully tested and performs beautifully. Every channel reads strong, phantom power is responsive, and all connections are solid. Cosmetically it shows normal rack wear, but nothing that affects function — the knobs are smooth, the meters respond properly, and the preamps are as punchy as ever.
