Description
The Studio 1824c USB-C audio interface is ideal for project studios and bands/producers interested in recording full bands including multi-channel drums. It records up to 18 simultaneous inputs at up to 24-bit/192 kHz and offers 8 microphone inputs with XMAX Class A preamps and ADAT and S/PDIF I/O. Its 18 outputs offer flexible routing with zero-latency DSP-based monitor mixing and control-room integration with included Studio One® Artist for macOS® and Windows® and UC Surface for macOS, Windows, iPad®, and Android. In addition to stereo main outputs with a dedicated mute and mono button, you get eight balanced, DC-coupled line outputs; two headphone outputs with independent mix streams; word clock output; and MIDI I/O. PreSonus' Studio Magic Plug-in Suite is included, and USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables are provided for compatibility with most computers.
Features:
- 24-bit/192 kHz, USB-C 18x8 audio interface (8x6 at 192 kHz)
- 2 mic/instrument/line inputs and 2 mic/line inputs all with XMAX Class A mic preamps and +48V phantom power
- 4 back panel 1/4" TRS balanced line inputs
