I have a firewire Studiolive RML 16 AI and it works ok with an iMac 27 Late 2013 with a Firewire to Thunderbolt 2 adapter. Now I bought a new iMac that only has Thunderbolt 3 ports (USB C)
There is a TB 3 to TB 2 adapter but the guys at apple said that it will not work. Have anybody an experience with this? |

If your new iMac is an M1 machine, this quote from Knowledge Base will confirm what "the guys at apple" said:
"StudioLive AI-Series mixers and rack mixers will not work with Apple Silicon Macs. There are no plans to develop a driver to enable 1394 to connect to these machines. We will continue to support Intel-based Macs. StudioLive Ai will continue to be supported on the Windows 10 platform." https://support.presonus.com/hc/en-us/a ... patibility |

I got these 2 guys to connect me RM32AI mixer to my PC with thunderbolt. They worked for me until my RM32AI decided to become a brick last month...

Please please please elaborate!!! I have an rml32ai that I wish I had never gotten due to its firewire capabilities.. I am no longer a drinker of the apple koolaid and switched to pc's with a firewire card. While it works fine, I would like to squeeze as much latency out of this to work with my v-drums a little better.
I have both adaptors, and the ASUS thunderboltex 4 plugged into my tb header, but nothing talks to it. john920 wroteI got these 2 guys to connect me RM32AI mixer to my PC with thunderbolt. They worked for me until my RM32AI decided to become a brick last month... |

I used those 2 adapters into my ThinkPad's thunderbolt port. Unfortunately I cannot explain how they worked, they just did. I cannot attest to the latency as I used it for multitrack recording clients and never had anyone complain about it. I really wished presonus didn't turn their backs on older devices. Espically one that was quite expensive and has an EXPANSION SLOT!!!
I still have the Cs18ai that I have no use for, if you're interested!  Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk |

Intel officially does not support Thunderbolt 2 with Thunderbolt 4 on PC.
It must be TB3 or TB2.
