As with all PreSonus recording systems, Studio-series interfaces come with the company’s award-winning Studio One® Artist DAW software and Studio Magic Plug-in Suite for Mac® and Windows®. The Studio Magic bundle includes seven popular plug-ins in VST, AU, and AAX formats.

The Studio 26 2×4 bus-powered audio/MIDI interface features two front-panel combo mic and switchable line/instrument inputs with +48V phantom power for condenser mics. In addition to the L/R main outputs, you get two balanced line outputs for monitor mixing, while LED meters indicate input and output levels. A Cue Mix A/B function lets you toggle between two mixes while monitoring through headphones—perfect for DJs and to listen in on a performer’s monitor mix. This combination makes Studio 26 a great choice for podcasters, singer/songwriters, DJs, live streaming, or a couple of guitarists who want to collaborate or jam. Use it for recording sermons and teaching music, too!

An excellent choice for small studios, the Studio 68 6-in, 6-out audio/MIDI interface sports 2 front-panel combo mic/line/instrument inputs and 2 rear-panel mic/line inputs. In addition to the L/R main outputs, you get two balanced line outputs for monitor mixing or speaker switching plus S/PDIF I/O. A Cue Mix A/B function lets you toggle between two mixes while monitoring through headphones—perfect for DJs and to listen in on a performer’s monitor mix.

Both PreSonus Studio-series audio/MIDI interfaces are available immediately at PreSonus dealers. Expected U.S. MAP/street prices are: Studio 26 $199, Studio 68 $299. For more information, please visit www.presonus.com/products/Studio-Series-USB-Interfaces.
