says its for presonus firebox but im prety sure this will work for any interface that has the 9 pin out for midi/spdif such as the audiophile + profire m-audio devices

[P.O.]

Hello!...
I'm reviving this topic because I just bought a used Presonus Firebox that came without the DB9 to MIDI breakout cable...
I need the pinout so I can make myself one. I'm astounded not to find any information anywhere about this... (except a post on DIY audio where the pins are all wrong).

I thank you for the tip but honestly, I do not expect to spend any money on this as I essentially have all the parts here and it's likely to take 30 minutes to make at most...

i too prefer the soldering iron

I made it!
here's the pinout:

DB9       corresponding connection
1            MIDI OUT pin 4
2            SPLIF IN center
3            SPLIF OUT center
4            possibly ground (pin 2) of MIDI OUT
5            MIDI IN pin 4
6            MIDI OUT pin 5
7            SPLIF IN ground
8            SPLIF OUT ground
9            MIDI IN pin 5

Somewhat like reefer madness...

I confirm DB9 pins 4,7 and 8 are more or less tied to ground.
