The Presonus Firebox is a 6 in 8 out Firewire Audio Interface for MAC and PC capable of 96Khz sample rates. While it may be an older player in the audio interface market it has been a very reliable and great quality audio interface providing everything I have demanded of it.

The AKGK240 are a cost effective but high quality pair of semi-open monitor headphones. These were my first major purchase when I started out over 15 years ago replacing a cheap set of headphones I had been using for monitoring mixes. Being so young (just 19) at the time I was not really aware of how much of a difference a good pair of cans could make until I put these around my ears.
