What we say:
At A Glance:
The Presonus Studio 26c is a high quality USB audio interface with world class mic preamps. The Studio 26c features 2 combination inputs that can be used with microphones and other gear like keyboards and mixers. With great recording options plus the huge selection of bundled software, the Studio 26c is one of the best value options available for recording into your computer.
Features We Love:
The Ins
The Studio 26c is a 2 channel interface that has combi XLR/TRS inputs that feature PreSonus’ professional-grade XMAX mic preamps. These ensure you get the best possible sound when recording with a microphone, and also let you record your line level sources like keyboards and mixers in pristine detail.
The Outs
With a dedicated headphones output, a main left and right output plus an additional 2 outputs, the Studio 26c is compact to carry with you to gigs and sessions, but has powerful options for running multitrack backing track live, or running individual monitor mixes in the studio.
5-Pin MIDI
The set of 5-Pin MIDI connections on the back of the interface means that you can not only connect hardware synthesisers into your DAW system, but also lets you control changes on compatible outboard gear.
Studio One Artist
The Presonus Studio One Artist DAW music package is included to get you recording straight out of the box.
