PreSonus has released the Studio 26 and Studio 68 USB 2.0 audio/Midi interfaces.
Both interfaces record at up to 24-bit, 192kHz resolution and feature PreSonus’ Xax microphone preamps, audiophile-grade digital converters, ultra-low-jitter clocking and Midi I/O. Both interfaces come with the company’s Studio One Artist DAW software and Studio Magic Plug-in Suite for Mac and Windows. The Studio Magic bundle includes seven popular plug-ins in VST, AU and AAX formats.
The Studio 26 2x4 bus-powered audio/Midi interface features two front-panel combo mic and switchable line/instrument inputs with +48V phantom power for condenser mics. In addition to the LR main outputs, there are two balanced line outputs for monitor mixing, while LED meters indicate input and output levels. A Cue Mix A/B function toggles between two mixes while monitoring through headphones – for DJs and to listen in on a performer’s monitor mix.
Designed with small studios in mind, the Studio 68 6-input/6-output audio/Midi interface sports two front-panel combo mic/line/instrument inputs and two rear-panel mic/line inputs. In addition to the LR main outputs, there are two balanced line outputs for monitor mixing or speaker switching plus SPDIF I/O. Again, the Cue Mix A/B function toggles between two mixes while monitoring through headphones.
Both Studio-series interfaces are shipping – Studio 26 US$199, Studio 68 US$299 MAP/street.
