Description
The PreSonus Quantum ES 2 audio interface represents the culmination of nearly 30 years of innovation in digital recording. This 2x2 USB-C interface gives you pristine 24-bit/192kHz audio quality with PreSonus' latest breakthroughs in preamp design, converter technology and ultralow latency drivers. Whether you're recording vocals, guitar or any other instrument, the Quantum ES 2 delivers professional sound in an ultraportable package perfect for the modern home studio.
Next-Generation MAX-HD Mic Preamps
At the heart of the Quantum ES 2 are two newly designed MAX-HD mic preamps that set a new standard for transparency and gain. With an incredible +75dB of digitally controlled analog gain on tap, you can easily handle everything from whisper-quiet vocals to blistering guitar amps. Yet these preamps remain clean and neutral even when pushing higher gain levels. Their cutting-edge design combines the best of analog and digital to deliver maximum headroom with minimum noise and coloration.
Fender-Approved Instrument Input
Plug your guitar or bass straight into the Quantum ES 2's dedicated front-panel instrument input. This 1/4" jack was codesigned by the tone experts at Fender to provide an ultrapure signal path optimized for your electric or acoustic-electric instruments. You'll hear every nuance and harmonic detail captured with stunning clarity. With such a high-fidelity front end, the Quantum ES 2 is an outstanding choice for D.I'ing instruments when recording in the studio or performing live.
Effortless Level Setting With Auto Gain
One of the handiest features of the Quantum ES 2 is the Auto Gain button. With a single press, it automatically sets the perfect input gain level for your microphone or instrument. No more fiddling endlessly with trim knobs—Auto Gain gets you dialed in for optimal recording levels at the press of a button. The illuminated push encoder also gives you quick visual feedback and precise manual control over gain and output volume.
Exceptionally Low-Latency Performance
The Quantum ES 2 is designed from the ground up to minimize latency while tracking. Its custom drivers provide ultrafast monitoring that preserves the natural feel and timing of your performance. High-performance converters ensure your audio remains stunningly clear from input to output. With its near-zero latency, you can confidently track with virtual instruments, record vocals over loops or monitor effects in real time without distracting delays or comb filtering.
Powerful Software for Creative Freedom
To fuel your creativity from day one, the Quantum ES 2 includes a 6-month subscription to PreSonus' acclaimed Studio One+ recording software and its associated plug-ins, sound packs, tutorials, updates and a robust user community. This DAW provides unlimited track counts, advanced editing tools, third-party plug-in support and a wealth of virtual instruments and loops. The Studio One+ Professional edition gives you all the production power you need to craft impressive recordings. A Universal Control app also lets you adjust settings and monitor levels remotely from your desktop, tablet or smartphone.
Whether you're just starting to build a home studio or upgrading your mobile rig, the PreSonus Quantum ES 2 delivers pro-level audio quality in an ultracompact interface. Its advanced preamps, pristine converters and streamlined workflow make it an ideal recording solution for the modern musician. Take your creativity to new heights with the Quantum ES 2.
