PreSonus Quantum 26x32 Thunderbolt 2 Audio Interface

PreSonus Quantum 26x32 Thunderbolt 2 Audio Interface

Here at Inta-Audio, we only sell studio equipment that we have complete faith in ourselves as musicians and producers. When it comes to audio interfaces, there are few names that rank as highly on our list as PreSonus. Whether you’re looking for a compact, portable USB interface or a rack-mountable super-powered command centre for your studio, PreSonus are sure to have something to meet your needs!

If it’s a command centre that you’re looking for, the new PreSonus Quantum is too good to miss!

The Quantum is PreSonus’ fastest and best-sounding audio/MIDI interface to date, offering 24-bit, 192-kHz recording (120 dB dynamic range) and taking full advantage of a lightning-fast Thunderbolt 2 bus and ADAT Optical I/O to deliver up to 26 inputs and 32 outputs with incredibly low latency!

And if that’s not enough, you can expand your set-up to a staggering 96 input and 96 outputs by stacking up to four Quantums via Thunderbolt!

The Quantum features 2 combo mic/instrument/line inputs as well as 6 additional mic/line inputs with recallable XMAX preamps. The range of connections is equally impressive – Dual ADAT Optical, S/PDIF, MIDI and BNC word clock I/O rounding out the package!

PreSonus are well-known for including some of the best free software packages with their interfaces, and the Quantum is no exception. Included are a copy of Studio One Artist and a Studio Magic plug-in suite with the option to upgrade to Studio One Professional at any time for 50% off the full price.
