PreSonus Studio 24c

Studio-grade audio fidelity

Zero cut-backs on definition. Recording and set up with the 26C is easy but this doesn't mean that Presonus have skimped on quality. The Presonus 26C records at 24-bit, 192 kHz resolution. This gives you the best possible recording definition available at this price point. The Presonus XMAX Class A mic preamps offer best in class hardware recording quality, so what goes in, is as good as possible. Presonus' sound is clean, it's clear and it's ultra high definition.

 

Quick, USB connectivity

Get straight to work. The Presonus 26C uses USB-C connectivity to help you get the quickest possible speeds across a wide variety of devices. USB-C is faster than other USB based devices and can help decrease the levels of input latency you might find with other forms of connectivity. It's fast and innovative and ensures you're getting the best possible accuracy when recording instruments or using a MIDI input device.

 

Ideal for musicians, DJs and podcasters

The Studio 26C is ideal for a range of applications from capturing studio-grade recordings to podcasting and DJing. The interface comes equipped with two mic/line/instrument inputs (complete with XMAX preamps) delivering an ultra-wide frequency response.

 

Setting it apart from the 24C, the 26C features Cue Mix A/B functionality. This allows you to switch between two mixes whilst monitoring through headphones. This function is great for musicians, allowing you to audition mixes in real-time. Four DC-coupled line outputs are also included, which can be used for sending CV signals.

 

Rugged and portable design

The 26C recording interface is perfect for using as a portable studio. It is lightweight and small enough to fit in your bag with your laptop and even a couple of microphones. If there is somewhere outside of your typical recording environment that you need to record, then trust in Presonus to deliver a tough, rugged interface that records whenever, wherever. The clean, modern design gives the Studio 26C a really nice industrial look and thanks to how easy it is to set up, you'll be up and ready to record in minutes, no matter where you are.
