Features & Compatibility

The PreSonus Quantum 2 is an expandable, ultra-high definition audio interface that leverages the high-speed Thunderbolt bus and ADAT Optical I/O. It is designed to deliver up to 22 inputs and 24 outputs, with extremely low latency, making it a powerful solution for professional recording environments.

The Quantum 2 audio interface offers two combo mic/instrument inputs and two combo mic/line inputs, each with a digitally controlled XMAX preamp and individual +48V phantom power. You also get four balanced ¼” TRS outputs and a headphone out with dedicated volume control. But that’s just the start. With ADAT Optical I/O and S/PDIF stereo digital I/O, you can have up to 18 digital inputs and outputs. And if you need even more I/O channels, you can stack up to four Quantum 2 interfaces via Thunderbolt to create a monster system with up to 80 in and out. BNC word clock I/O ensures your Quantum and other digital audio devices operate in tight sync. And of course you get MIDI I/O, too.
