PreSonus has announced the Studio 1810 and Studio 1824 USB 2.0 audio/Midi interfaces, offering recording at up to 192kHz, 24-bit resolution and PreSonus’ XMax class-A mic preamps, ultra-low-jitter clocking, and Midi I/O.
Both interfaces offer flexible output routing with zero-latency DSP-based monitor mixing and control-room integration with included PreSonus Studio One Artist for Mac and Windows, and free PreSonus UC Surface for Mac, Windows, iPad and Android. They are also accompanied by the Studio Magic Plug-in Suite for Mac and Windows, which provides seven plug-ins in VST, AU, and AAX formats.
The Studio 1810 USB 2.0 audio/Midi interface records up to 18 simultaneous inputs. This includes two combo mic/instrument/line inputs and two combo mic/line inputs, all with XMax class-A mic preamps and global +48V phantom power; four backpanel, quarter-inch TRS line inputs; eight channels of Adat Optical input (four channels at 96kHz); and stereo SPDIF inputs. There are eight outputs, including left and right, quarter-inch TRS balanced main outputs with dedicated level control and Mute, four quarter-inch TRS balanced line outputs, and stereo SPDIF outputs. All analogue line outputs are DC coupled for sending control voltages. Two loud, clear headphone outputs include A/B switching for monitoring different mix streams.
The Studio 1824 audio/Midi interface records up to 18 simultaneous inputs (8x8 at 192kHz), including two mic/instrument/line inputs and six mic/line inputs, all with XMax class-A mic preamps and global +48V phantom power, plus eight channels of Adat Optical input (four channels at 96kHz) and stereo SPDIF. The Studio 1824’s 18 outputs include eight quarter-inch TRS balanced line outputs; stereo main outputs (which duplicate line Outputs 1/2), with dedicated Mute and Mono buttons; eight channels of Adat Optical output (four channels at 96kHz); and stereo /PDIF.
As with the Studio 1810, all Studio 1824 line outputs are DC coupled for sending control voltages, and there are two stereo headphone outputs with independent mix streams. The Studio 1824 also provides BNC word clock output.
The Studio 1810 and Studio 1824 are expected to be available in the Q2 of, with anticipated street prices of US$399.95 and US$499.95, respectively.
