PreSonus Quantum 2626

With the included PreSonus Studio One™ Artist DAW and Studio Magic Software Suite, the Quantum 2626 is a complete recording solution. The interface also is compatible with virtually any recording software for macOS or Windows. Free PreSonus UC Surface control software provides access to full metering and an integrated real-time analyzer (RTA).

The Quantum 2626 comes with PreSonus® Studio One™ Artist and the Studio Magic Software Suite for a complete recording solution. Studio One offers unlimited tracks and plug-ins and is easy to learn and use. Studio Magic includes over $1,000 USD of plug-ins, loops, virtual instruments, effects and tutorials.

PreSonus®' famed XMAX Class A preamps have no crossover distortion and deliver pure, clear, musical results. They run on high-voltage power rails to deliver more headroom, deeper lows, smoother highs and a richer overall sound. We only use discrete components for accuracy and transparency - not op-amps that can add noise, coloration and harshness.

The Quantum 2626 provides two combo mic/instrument inputs (with direct outs and returns for patching outboard gear) and six balanced mic/line inputs. Another 18 inputs and outputs are available via ADAT/dual SMUX and S/PDIF. Eight 1/4-inch TRS outputs are DC-coupled for sending control voltages, plus two Main outs, two headphone outs, and MIDI I/O.
