PreSonus Quantum 2626 £599

Looking for a decent multiple stream audio interface? Jon Musgrave fires up this latest recording-focused interface

- Jon Musgrave

Looking to record and monitor multiple audio streams at once? USB may not be robust enough. The most reliable plugin system is Thunderbolt and Presonus’ new Quantum 2626 is their first interface to support the latest Thunderbolt 3 protocol. Its USB-C style connector works with a Thunderbolt 1, 2, or 3-equipped computer (for Thunderbolt 1 or 2 you’ll need a converter cable). At just under £550, 2626 is PreSonus’s cheapest Quantum interface. But it still sports an impressive feature set and operation at up to 24-bit 192kHz via its analog inputs. One of the big selling points is lightning fast and stable operation at very low latencies.
