Presonus Quantum
The PreSonus Quantum leaves Firewire and USB behind with Thunderbolt 2 for data transport. It’s a vastly quicker machine than the previous USB 3.0 Studio 192. The Quantum can be daisy-chained via Thunderbolt for up to 96 channels over four units, something Firewire promised but never delivered. The Quantum offers eight mic/line inputs and eight line TRS outputs, with expansion via ADAT optical. SMUX is supported for 96kHz recording across all available inputs – 16 ADAT channels at 44.1/48kHz, and eight at 88.2/96kHz.
The Quantum represents PreSonus’s first stray from its signature blue/silver colour scheme in exchange for black – how very rock. On cursory inspection the only real change from Studio 192 models is the addition of MIDI ports. A single input and output is plenty nowadays with many users using virtual instruments.
