PreSonus Quantum HD2 20 x 24, 32-bit 192 kHz USB-C Audio Interface

Overview of PreSonus Quantum HD2 20 x 24, 32-bit 192 kHz USB-C Audio Interface

Power your project with the Quantum HD 2 – the recording interface for project studios and full band recordings.

Features:

• 20 x 24, 32-bit 192 kHz USB-C Audio Interface
• High-performance converters with 124 dB dynamic range let you hear and capture audio with stunning clarity and fidelity.
• Custom low-latency driver provides exceptionally low audio latencies when recording.
• Two all-new, next-generation PreSonus MAX-HD preamps provide transparency and accuracy across the frequency range with +75 dB of gain to maximize the performance for today’s most popular studio microphones for modern recording and broadcast.
• Discreet phantom power means consistent, full power for microphones that require it, so you’ll get the most from your high-performance studio microphones.
• 2 Re-amp outputs let you send audio from your DAW to your favorite outboard gear and record it again, so you can experiment with different amps, pedals, and mic placement to get the exact sound you want without cutting multiple takes.
• Control your Quantum HD 2 right from Studio One and our Universal Control app, in addition to hardware – so you can adjust preamp gain, toggle phantom power, adjust channel settings, and more without looking away from your recording session. Perfect for dialing in optimal gain staging.
• A full-color, high-resolution screen lets you keep an eye on your input and output meters while an illuminated push encoder provides fast, intuitive control over channel and output settings.
• 16 channels of ADAT Optical input (up to 48 kHz) plus stereo S/ PDIF I/O make connecting your digital gear fast and easy.
• 2 balanced ¼-inch TRS main outputs plus 2 balanced ¼-inch TRS line outputs and 1 high-power headphone output gives you flexible monitoring, while built-in speaker switching allows you to check your mix on multiple sets of studio monitors.
• DSP monitor mixer plus loopback audio make creating monitor and streaming mixes quick and easy.

The Culmination Of 30 Years Of Innovation
The Quantum HD 2 features two newly redesigned high-definition MAX-HD mic preamps with +75 dB of gain – making it ideally suited for today’s most popular microphones. Guitarists and bassists will love the two instrument inputs, which were co-developed with Fender engineers. An Auto Gain button sets the perfect gain level for your microphones and instruments. You also get two re-amp outputs so you can send audio from your DAW to your guitar or bass amp and re-record it to experiment with different amps, pedals, and mic placements. An illuminated push encoder provides flexible control over gain level and output volume, making it great for self-produced recording.
