Ditch the FW1884. Besides Tascam's crappy support, this is a box is a multitude of problems. Today it is this, but tomorrow it may be something far worse (and Tascam still seems to think that it is a trouble-free box).

Don't ever plug in a mic with phantom on- you WILL eventually blow up not just the preamp, but the entire analog front end (in groups of 4 inputs). Don't go beyond about 8 feet of FW cable. Otherwise, get a repeater. You'll likely loose your connection at the worst possible time...

The list goes on... dfegad FW1884.
