Presonus Quantum HD 2 Audio Interface

Allmänt

The product of 30 years of experience and the quest for flawless performance, the PreSonus Quantum HD 2 audio interface boasts an impressive spec list, immediately setting a new standard when it comes to professional quality. The core of the Quantum HD 2 fuses PreSonus dedication and innovation, and this takes the form of two newly-designed high-definition MAX-HD microphone preamps. Boasting an unprecedented +75 decibels of gain, these preamps have been tailor-made for the most current microphone models, lending the support of unparalleled clarity and reliability no matter what you're recording. PreSonus has even brought in the capable help of Fender for this one, making absolutely certain that the two instrument inputs supplied are perfectly calibrated for guitars and basses.

Auto Gain: Throw Out the Manual

The Quantum HD 2 also comes rammed with a full range of functions, each designed to help streamline the recording process and free up the creative flow. The front-mounted Auto Gain switch is just one of them. Hit it, and the task of setting the input level of your connected microphones or instruments is taken care of, ensuring optimised recording quality with minimum effort. The inclusion of two re-amp outputs also sets up musicians with access to new sonic terrain so they can record and then start experimenting with different amplifiers, pedals and microphone positions from the comfort of their DAW, without having to re-play and re-record a single note.

Signal Flow Optimisation

Exclusively for the Quantum HD 2, PreSonus has also developed an ultra-low-latency driver, which ensures insanely low signal delay when recording takes. This signal optimisation allows artists to record with precision, directly laying down ideas without having to contend with the limitations and distractions that come with bad latency. The high-performance converters, meanwhile, wield an impressive dynamic range of 124 decibels to help capture sound with flawless clarity and detail.

Seamless Integration & Professional Support

PreSonus knows too well that any truly exceptional audio interface needs to be able to slot seamlessly into the modern recording workflow. With this goal in mind, the Quantum HD 2 is supported by the Universal Control App, which is compatible with a wide range of mobile and desktop devices. This level of flexibility means that bolts of inspiration can be quickly captured whether you're sitting in the studio or on the train and, since this interface also comes including a 12 month subscription to Studio One+ add-ons, exclusive content and tools, and a perpetual license for Studio One Professional Edition, you're looking at an enormously valuable all-in-one pack.
