Presonus Firepod/iBook G4/MacOSX 10.3.9

Message posted by Mathias Hagenah <niteblind-0/fqC3lgIFL2eFz/[email protected]>:

Though this is more an Interface Problem, I guess it´s OT.
I´m not pretty sure how to handle it.

I use the Firepod with a Powersupply.
It´s (mainly) fine when recording from Line6 Pod
or Neumann TLM103 (directly using FPs Phantompower & Preamps).

With a dynamic Mic (Shure SM58) the Signal is more like
whispering with the Preamp turned up to 10 and further ;).

Plus some days ago I had to stop a Session, cause
while recording with the Neumann the Signal went
lower and lower til it was down to Zero in the Takes.
Rebooting of Logic or Mac OS didn´t help.

The Interface was warm but compared to the iBook
in the Limits, for my feel.

Though I found no way to Eject it like a i.e. FW Harddrive
I always run down the iBook first before turning it off. 

Does anybody have experiences with it and can tell me
that the Firepod is guilty ?

If so, I bought it for around 800.- € now it´s down to 500.- (arrgh).
Is there anything similar (incl. Phantom Power, PreAmps, 8 Ins)
around that is better ?

Then I may take a different one when bringing it back to the store.

Thanx in advance
Matzy
