PreSonus has introduced its Studio Series USB-C 24-bit, 192kHz audio interfaces, with five models – the Studio 24c, Studio 26c, Studio 68c, Studio 1810c and Studio 1824c. These update and replace PreSonus’ first-generation Studio series and feature a USB-C connector. All but the Studio 24c include DC-coupled outputs for sending control voltages, and all five models offer Midi I/O. USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables are provided for compatibility with most computers.
Studio Series USB-C audio interfaces come with PreSonus’ Studio OneArtist music production software for macOS and Windows. Studio One integrates tightly with PreSonus interfaces, configuring automatically (no need to map inputs and outputs). Also included is the Studio Magic Plug-in Suite, a plug-in collection from leading names in virtual instruments and effects.
Aimed at home recording, mobile musicians, guitarists, podcasters and live streaming, the bus-powered Studio 24c 2-input/2-output audio interface features two front-panel mic/line/instrument inputs with PreSonus XMax-L solid-state mic preamps, two rear-panel line outputs, and onboard direct monitoring control.
Designed for DJs, mobile musicians and electronic musicians, the bus-powered Studio 26c 2-input/4-output audio interface presents two front-panel mic/line/instrument inputs with XMax-L solid-state mic preamps, four rear-panel line outputs, and a Cue Mix A/B button. For small bands, producers and small studios, the Studio 68c 6-input/6-output audio interface offers four XMax preamps – two mic/line/instrument on the front, and two mic/line on the back – as well as SPDIF I/O. Built for producers and small bands who want to record from a wide range of sources, the Studio 1810c records up to 18 simultaneous inputs and sports eight outputs and four microphone inputs with XMax class-A mic preamps.
The Studio 1824c audio interface is intended for project studios, and especially for recording full bands, including multichannel drums. It records up to 18 simultaneous inputs and features eight microphone inputs with XMax class-A mic preamps. Its 18 outputs offer flexible routing with zero-latency DSP-based monitor mixing and control-room integration with included Studio One Artist and UC Surface software.
