Product Description
The ART TubeFire 8 FireWire Recording Interface is an excellent 8-channel preamp for recording direct-to-drive to FireWire equipped Macs or PCs. Fitting nicely into a single rack unit,TubeFire 8 has 8 quality second-generation Class-A vaccuum tube mic preamps and eight balanced outputs. Every input channel has both XLR and 1/4-inch TRS balanced inputs with, 70db of gain, -10db Pad, high pass filter, phase invert, clip indicators, and wide range LED meter for monitoring levels. These warm, tube driven mic/line inputs provide clean, quiet gain and a high-level of transparency.On the flip side, the ART TubeFire 8 can be turned into a reliable multichannel audio output for your computer through its high-quality D/A converters and 8 balanced outputs. You can use the headphone output or for low-latency input monitoring, or you can combine the channels for an integrated mono or stereo mix for general monitoring of audio playback from the computer. Either way, youll be impressed with the quality of the sound youre getting.As a bonus, TubeFire 8 is packaged with Cubase LE software....

The sound is fantastic but the drivers need sorting June 16, 2008
Got the tubefire 8 about two weeks ago. Firstly let me say I am massively impressed by the sound. Being as it has valves in it ( even though they are low voltage they do add the expected character) you can dial in or out any mix of clean to warm to harsh. If you want clean these pre-amps are pristine and as an 8 channel pre amp this is sheer gold. the problem starts when using it as an interface. The drivers seem to be very pick and fragile. My first attempts to record through it into my dual core PC were problematic. Clicks and pops regardless of latency settings. So I changed my 1394 card from a via chipset to a Texas chipset. things were better but still not great. so as a last throw of the dice I did a complete reinstall. Normally I wouldn't bother, would just send it back but the sound of this box made me desperate to get it working. The reinstall of Windows xp seems to have done the trick although it is still a little fargile in ASIO mode. If ART do as they should and upgrade these drivers (still version 1.0) then they will have produced an amazing soundboard. Over to ART....
