The latest addition to the PreSonus Quantum series of audio interfaces is the Quantum 2626.
Using Thunderbolt 3 bus to achieve a barely measurable roundtrip latency (as low as <1ms), the 2626 supports record and monitor at up to 192kHz, 24-bit accuracy with 115dB of dynamic range plus plug-ins, without leaving the DAW.
The Quantum 2626 provides up to 26 inputs and 26 outputs, with eight of PreSonus’ XMax class-A analogue microphone preamps, two instrument inputs to directly connect basses and guitars, and six balanced line level inputs for synths all – on front panel combo jacks. The first two inputs are equipped with direct outputs and dedicated returns to patch in outboard gear. An additional 18 inputs and outputs are available via Adat/dual SMUX and S/PDIF.
There are also eight quarter-inch TRS outputs DC coupled for sending control voltages, plus two balanced Main outputs, two high-volume headphone outs with dedicated volume controls, and Midi I/O. BNC word clock I/O ensures the Quantum 2626 and other digital audio devices operate in tight sync. The interface is well protected by a 1U rackmountable, rugged, all-metal chassis with metal knobs.
With the included Studio One Artist DAW, the Quantum 2626 offer s a complete recording solution. The 2626 interface also is compatible with any recording software that supports Core Audio (macOS) or ASIO (Windows). Free PreSonus UC Surface control software for Mac and Windows provides access to full metering, including metering for connected PreSonus DP88 8-channel ADDA preamp/converters, as well as UC Surface’s integrated Real-Time Analyzer (RTA).
The Quantum 2626 is available now at PreSonus dealers at a street price of US$599.95.
