Here's where you can find gear that we don't normally carry. We're either not an official dealer for these items, or we have them in used. Either way, there's a lot of cool stuff here that we can't guarantee will be around for long!
Bring real studio feel to your computer with this Presonus FaderPort USB DAW Controller. This gives you true fader and transport controls so you can make and mix your music easily. Just connect it to your computer via USB and you're set up with transport controls for fast and super efficient recording, along with a real touch-sensitive, motorized fader for writing fades and automation. It has 1,024-step resolution and dual-servo drive-belt motor, for seamless action. You can even create your own custom key mappings! This FP works with most DAW systems (see more below on compatibility). If you already use PreSonus’ own Studio One DAW, your system will automatically recognize the FaderPort, plus you can tweak any plug-in parameter. No matter what DAW you use, this FaderPort enables you to record fades and write single-channel or grouped-channel volume, mute, and pan automation in real-time. You can control solo, record-enable, window selection, play, stop and record functions too. It's easily one of the coolest devices we've come across for DIY recording.
The Presonus FaderPort USB DAW Controller is compatible with all major recording software for Mac OS X and Windows including:
Studio One, Pro Tools (HUI emulation), Logic, Nuendo, Cubase, Sonar, Digital Performer, Live!, Samplitude, Audition plus you get seamless integration with PreSonus' own Studio One software. You can check out all the FaderPort's tech specs here.

Built tough, this PreSonus FireStudio Mobile is made to record anywhere. This interface might be small, but it is certainly mighty. Featuring two mic/instrument inputs and six line-level inputs, add in its stereo S/PDIF input and digital I/O, and you get the most inputs of any mobile recording device. It has balanced line outputs, a very loud headphone output, and MIDI in/out as well. If its ten inputs aren't enough, you can daisy chain it with other FireStudio Mobiles for up to 52 inputs.
Built using high-quality components, it has Class A XMAX preamps and high-definition 24-bit, 96 kHz digital converters. With a wide dynamic range, it provides 48V phantom power when needed, and its shockproof, EMI shielded, reinforced metal inclosure can withstand the rigors of the road. It also comes with PreSonus' Universal Control software, and Studio One Artist software, an intuitive and efficient audio engine that allows you to record, mix, and master your tracks (Mac and Windows compatible).
Versatile, portable, and expandable, this PreSonus FireStudio Mobile is a great way record your tracks whenever and wherever you need.

An upgrade from the original TubePre, this PreSonus TubePre V2 produces a wider range of sound options than its predecessor. A fully professional preamp with a dual servo (no capacitors) gain stage, you can boost your signal to extreme levels without increasing noticeable and unwanted background noise. Great dynamic range and clarity, it has more focused tube saturation. As you crank the 'Drive' control, your tone moves from smooth warmth to fuzz. Not only does it work as a microphone preamp, but thanks to separate mic and instrument inputs, it also works as a great direct box for guitar or bass. Extras include phantom power, high pass filter, and polarity reverse switch. This PreSonus TubePre V2 comes with its own 12V power source.

This is a very cool, super portable (5 lbs) USB bus-powered interface for your recording. It's constructed of metal and was built to be taken anywhere and everywhere. Want to mix while on the road? Record your show? Get some new songs down while you're at home or visiting a friend? This can do it.
