The Logic Off Topic list

Though this is more an Interface Problem, I guess it\ufffds OT.
I\ufffdm not pretty sure how to handle it.

I use the Firepod with a Powersupply.
It\ufffds (mainly) fine when recording from Line6 Pod
or Neumann TLM103 (directly using FPs Phantompower & Preamps).

With a dynamic Mic (Shure SM58) the Signal is more like
whispering with the Preamp turned up to 10 and further ;).

Plus some days ago I had to stop a Session, cause
while recording with the Neumann the Signal went
lower and lower til it was down to Zero in the Takes.
Rebooting of Logic or Mac OS didn\ufffdt help.

The Interface was warm but compared to the iBook
in the Limits, for my feel.

Though I found no way to Eject it like a i.e. FW Harddrive
I always run down the iBook first before turning it off. 

Does anybody have experiences with it and can tell me
that the Firepod is guilty ?

If so, I bought it for around 800.- \ufffd now it\ufffds down to 500.- (arrgh).
Is there anything similar (incl. Phantom Power, PreAmps, 8 Ins)
around that is better ?

Then I may take a different one when bringing it back to the store.

Thanx in advance
