PreSonus has released the Studio 192 Mobile USB 3.0 22 x 26 audio interface and studio command centre, offering the functionality of its Studio 192 audio interface in a form factor suitable for both mobile and studio use.
The Studio 192 Mobile records at up to 192kHz and combines two digitally controlled Xmax class-A, solid-state mic preamps and Burr-Brown converters with 118dB of dynamic range. It offers 18 channels of digital I/O, allowing up to 16 additional remote-controlled microphone preamps when expanded with two DigiMax DP88 A/D/A converters. For studio conttol, it features talkback control, Mono and Dim for the main mix output, word clock I/O, a dedicated DAC for the headphone output, and the ability to use its six balanced outputs for monitor mixing or for speaker switching.
Studio 192 Mobile also features the Fat Channel plug-in found in PreSonus’ Studio One DAW to add parametric EQ and dynamics processing, which can be used for near-zero-latency monitoring or printed to tracks. When used in conjunction with Studio One 3 (Artist edition included), the hybrid Fat Channel plug-in shifts to native processing on playback for seamless switching between recording and playback.
In addition to Fat Channel processing, Studio 192 Mobile features extensive integration with the Studio One production environment, including full preamp control and zero-latency monitor mixing. All Studio 192 Mobile features are also controllable from Studio One Remote for iPad, giving you the freedom to step away from your computer while recording.
For third-party DAW users, PreSonus’ UC Surface touch-ready control software for Mac, Windows and iPad is included for management of all Studio 192 Mobile functions, including speaker switching and talkback. An iPad or Windows Surface Pro can be used as a second screen dedicated to Studio 192 Mobile functions, including preamp control. The preamps can also be controlled from the Studio 192 Mobile front panel and via Midi from DAWs.
Studio 192 Mobile offers two front-panel mic/instrument inputs and two rear-panel direct-to-ADC line inputs; 16-channel Adat optical I/O (eight channels at 88.1kHz or 96kHz); coaxial, stereo SPDIF I/O; and BNC word-clock I/O. There are four balanced TRS outputs, balanced stereo main outputs and a headphone amplifier with independent output, level control, and cue source switching.
The Studio 192 Mobile is expected to be available in March 2016 with an estimated street price of US$599.95.
