The Quantum ES 2 USB-C Audio Interface from PreSonus is their latest offering for musicians looking for extremely high quality audio and functionality at a great price. New high-definition MAX-HD mic preamps with +75 dB of gain and 24 bit/192kHz converters allow for pristine audio quality that won't be clipping on you even with the enormous amount of gain that can be applied. The guitar input on the front was co-developed by engineers at Fender, resulting in an authentic and responsive guitar tone when DI'd straight into the interface. Two dual-purpose XLR/Line-in inputs appear on the back of the interface along with two outs for a pair of monitors. A high quality headphone out lets you monitor your mixes or recordings in real time with extremely low latency. Another unique feature is the auto-gain setting which has surprised users with its pinpoint accuracy, allowing for your creativity to flow unimpeded by fine-tuning proper gain staging. This can be bus-powered or powered by the aux USB-C port for on-the-go work or hunkering down in the studio. All parameters are controllable via either the onboard controls or the Universal Control App downloaded on their website. On top of all of this functionality, these new interfaces come with the full Pro Perpetual version of PreSonus' Digital Audio Workstation Studio One, a $200 value. For the musician who needs functionality, quality, and reliability at a previously unforeseen price point, this interface will suit your needs perfectly. 2 input Audio Interface 2 PreSonus MAX-HD Preamps +75 dB of Gain 2 Dual Purpose XLR/1/4" Line in inputs 48v Phantom Power Two INST inputs for guitar/bass, co-developed by Fender 2 Line Outputs Auto-gain feature sets perfect gain staging at the push of a button 24-bit / 192 kHz converter quality Comes with Studio One Pro Perpetual License MacOS/Windows compatible Can be Bus powered from your device or via the Aux USB-C input with an external power source Requires 5VDC @ 3.1A ~ 15.5W
