
Power Adapter Input.
This is where you plug the provided IEC power cable into the FireStudio Project.

Power Switch.
Push the top part of the switch to turn your FireStudio Project on (|). Push the bottom
part of the switch to turn your FireStudio Project off (O).

FireWire Ports.
There are two standard 6-pin FireWire ports on the back of the FireStudio Project.
Either (and only one) should be used to connect your FireStudio Project to a FireWire port on your
computer. If your computer has a 4-pin connector (commonly found on laptops), you will need a 4-to-6-
pin adapter to connect your FireStudio Project to your computer.
You can use the “extra” FireWire port to connect additional FireWire devices to you computer (such as
external hard drives) or to connect additional FireStudio-family interfaces.

S/PDIF In and Out Jacks.
These allow the FireStudio Project to receive and transmit audio from other
digital audio devices. The S/PDIF standard allows two channels of audio to be transmitted at rates up
to 24 bit, 96 kHz. The S/PDIF input also allows the FireStudio Project to receive word clock.
You should select “S/PDIF” as the Clock Source and set the sample rate to correspond with the
external device in the Universal Control Launch window when using the S/PDIF input.

MIDI Input and Output Ports.
MIDI stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface.” However,
MIDI can be used for many things other than instruments and sequencing. The MIDI inputs and outputs
on the breakout cable allow connection to a variety of MIDI-equipped hardware, such as keyboard
controllers, and can be used to send and receive MIDI Machine Control and MIDI Time Code.
Note: MIDI does not carry audio signals
but is frequently used to trigger or control an audio source,
such as a virtual instrument or hardware synthesizer. You should ensure that MIDI data is correctly
sent and received by the appropriate hardware or software. You may also need to route hardware sound
sources’ audio to the FireStudio Project. Please consult the User’s Manual of your MIDI devices for
help with MIDI setup and usage.
