Reviews
Great Interface, but firewire power issues April 12th, 2008
Reviewer: Brendan M.
I am well pleased with this interface. Lots of ins and outs and nice LED display to show levels. Like the desktop approach to this module and will be great for taking it on the road. This is solid !!!!, Feels stong and should last when I take this around clubs playing. Only downside is that there are some issues with the firewire power. This is supposed to run from the Bus power on the firewire interface, I found on a iMac G5 that even the full size FW interface is not enought power for the IO26, thus have to plug in the wall wart as well. Without the wall wart it just keeps rebooting.
