Q: I have upgraded to a 2013 Mac and the FireWire Port has been replaced by a Thunderbolt Connection? Can I buy a converter?

A: Allen & Heath can confirm that the GS-R24 and ZED-R16 are compatible with Apple’s Thunderbolt to FireWire 800 adapter in combination with a FireWire 800 to 400 cable. (FireWire 800/400 9-Pin/6-Pin )

Users can expect performance to be at least equal to that of using a built-in FireWire port.
