Description

The PreSonus Studio 26c is a 2x4 USB Type-C audio/MIDI interface offering high-resolution conversion and a powerful software package for vocalists, musicians, and podcasters in home/project studios and mobile setups. Connect mic-, instrument-, or line-level sources via two XLR-1/4" combo inputs, each utilising its own gain control and XMAX-L solid-state mic preamp with selectable phantom power. Operate at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz resolution without sacrificing channel count or interface functionality.

The Studio 26c has four balanced 1/4" line outputs; the first two are fed by a dedicated level control for use with a pair of active monitors. A 1/4" TRS stereo headphone output with a front-panel volume knob accommodates a set of headphones. 5-pin MIDI I/O jacks on the rear panel allow simple hookup of a MIDI controller, synthesiser, or sound module.

The bus-powered Studio 26c includes USB cables for easy connectivity to your compatible macOS or Windows computer. Also supplied is a software bundle featuring the Studio One Artist DAW and the Studio Magic plug-in suite—a slew of creative tools for producers, engineers, songwriters, and more.

    This replaced my old Focusrite 8i6 and it's been great, no learning curve whatsoever. I'm using it with Reaper on my iMac and it's been totally seamless, there's no awkward mixer interface or power adapter to faff around with, you just plug in your choice of USB cable and go. Latency is ultra low, and there's plenty of grunt for the headphones & studio monitors. I went with the USB C model because it's (hopefully) a bit more future proof, my only gripe has been with the some of the bundled software, which has been a bit of a pain to install/authorize.

    I use this for a DAC to feed an FM transmitter that uses this @192KHz to provide a single output stereo multiplex signal. The output is DC coupled on this one for better square wave support although did require 2-3dB of parametric EQ as they are not as flat frequency response as the Behringer UPhoria UMC202HD's above 20KHz. They have more level output though which is great. They are a tidy wee unit for the price point.
