    Tell me I didnt screw up. I just received my Firebox today and my 1/4" adapter should be here tomorrow. Looking at the back of the unit I noticed a 1 left out and a 2 right out on the main output section. Please tell me that is not for a left and right speaker input each to make it a stereo pair. I hope I dont need a 1/4" MONO TO female RCA for each jack to make it a stereo output. I ordered a stereo 1/4" to l/r RCA cable or a "Y" cable I have a funny feeling that I ordered the wrong part. I think my VCI100 should be here tomorrow.

    if you have 2 jacks on each side of the cable, you didn't screw up.

    so I need a 1/4" male mono to RCA female for both sides, which I didnt buy. I only ordered one mal stereo 1/4" to 2 female. So Im gonna actually have music coming out mono if both speakers are attached on one channel only...DAMN! I WISH I COULD GET THINGS RIGHT!!!

    I was just gonna buy an Audio DJ4 which I should have. But I wanted to take advantage of the firewire port on my mac and free up my USB port for my controller.

    yeah, i got the the splitter but it dosent work in Stereo. all the outputs at the back are MONO. This meaning you have to get 2 jack to Phono (RCA) cables i.e. 1 for left (output 1) and the other for right (output 2).

    The only stereo output on this card is the headfone socket!!!

    whats the difference between the firestudio and firebox?? the out's on the back have been changed to Line In's, anything else major?

    other than that not much of a difference?? better lay out out on the front though for sure

    I got my firebox in June 09 for £150 so i cant grumble!
