I've had major difficulties with a Presonus firewire product in the past, but I was using XP Media Center and a firewire/USB combo port, so it was my fault for not doing the research beforehand. The fact that the Audiobox is USB-powered is a huge selling point to me, because I don't really want to buy a firewire card and take a chance that it won't work (the stock card in my desktop is another one of those combo deals)....
For a very reasonable £199, customers will receive an Audiobox USB interface with cable, Studio One Artist recording and production software, a set of HD7 studio monitoring headphones, an M7 studio condenser microphone with cable, a quick start... The Studio One Artist is an easy to use entry-level recording and production software product, which is capable of creating studio-quality material.
