With an incredibly low round-trip latency of less than 1 ms, it's no wonder that Sound on Sound magazine hailed Quantum-series Thunderbolt audio interfaces as the "fastest audio interface on the planet." Utilizing the Thunderbolt 3 bus and PreSonus®' proprietary driver, the Quantum 2626 achieves unparalleled round-trip latency, reaching as low as quicker than 1 ms. Now, you can record and monitor with up to 24-bit, 192 kHz fidelity through your favorite plug-ins, all without leaving your DAW.
The Quantum 2626 offers a generous array of up to 26 audio inputs and 26 outputs, featuring 8 of PreSonus' acclaimed XMAX Class A analog microphone preamps. Every analog input and output is equipped with high-quality converters, providing an impressive 115 dB of dynamic range. Coupled with superior low-jitter clocking, these converters ensure the smooth and natural capture of complex musical harmonics, free from audible distortion. The result is the exceptional audio quality sought after by seasoned professionals. Additionally, MIDI I/O and BNC word clock I/O are included to ensure tight synchronization with other digital audio devices. Housed within a rugged, rack-mountable 1U all-metal chassis with metal knobs, the interface is well protected.
Complete with the included PreSonus Studio One™ Artist DAW and Studio Magic Software Suite, the Quantum 2626 presents a comprehensive recording solution. Moreover, the interface is compatible with virtually any recording software for macOS or Windows. Complementing its functionality is the free PreSonus UC Surface control software, providing access to comprehensive metering and an integrated real-time analyzer (RTA).
