PreSonus Quantum Audio Interface

The MAX-HD preamps were co-developed with Fender to provide a massive 75 dB of gain. This high headroom ensures that even low-output dynamic or ribbon microphones can be recorded cleanly without needing an external preamp or booster.

Yes, the Quantum HD 8 features instrument inputs specifically engineered with Fender’s expertise. These inputs are designed to capture the natural tone and impedance characteristics of guitar and bass pickups, making them ideal for use with amp modeling software.

The Auto Gain feature listens to your incoming signal and automatically sets the optimal gain level for you. This is particularly helpful for solo artists or when you need to focus on your performance rather than manually adjusting levels to avoid clipping.

While it includes a perpetual license for Studio One Professional, the interface is compatible with any DAW that supports standard ASIO or Core Audio drivers. You can use it with your preferred recording software on both macOS and Windows.

Yes, the Quantum HD 8 uses an IEC power cable for a stable, reliable connection. It does not rely on bus power from your computer, ensuring consistent performance for all eight preamps and internal circuitry.

The Universal Control App allows you to manage your interface settings, such as gain levels, phantom power, and monitoring, remotely from your mobile device or desktop. This is especially useful if your interface is racked in a location that is not within arm's reach while you are recording.
