    What can I say…PreSonus just makes good stuff. I’ve been using their products for years, and never had any trouble out of them. The Studio 24c is no exception. Solidly built workhorse. Sounds great, works great, and lasts for years.

    Che dire presonus sempre sul pezzo. Ottimo rapporto qualit prezzo. Ho provato a sentire se c’ rumore di fondo. Ho alzato il main al massimo e le casse a met, che dire? 0 rumore di fondo. Ottimi preamplificatori. Soddisfatto al 100%

    Los preamplificadores son muy sileciosos y suenan excelente. La unidad est bien construida y tiene muy baja latencia.

    Having already owned this particular model in question I bought a second Presonus 68c to use in my bedroom studio. After correctly hooking it up it came to life and the problems I was having working in the bedroom studio were solved and I am happy and the thoughts I was having about upgrading to a UA Apollo $1199 turned back into a pipe dream .

    I hooked a Shure SM7B to this with a CloudLifter CL-1 and the sound quality is better than I expected it to be at this price point. I had a 24c but upgraded to the 68c. The extra ins and outs are very handy. The 68c also has significantly better LED meters than the 24c. The only other major difference is that the 24c is portable and does not require a dedicated power source. The 68c must be plugged in to an outlet. On the plus side, the extra power does give you a few extra decibels.

    It comes with a license for Studio One, which is a pleasure to work with. I haven’t tried it with a control surface yet, but that may be a not-so-distant future addition to my setup. If you’re looking for something good for streaming or for recording music, this is a very solid choice.

    Posso fare solo un confronto con la mia vecchia scheda audio una line 6 UX2 e devo dire che le differenze si notano. Con lo stesso microfono la qualit audio nettamente superiore rumore di fondo bassissimo latenza zero e poi 8 IN e 10 OUT. Davvero un ottimo prodotto.

    Built quality is amazing, I had an old one but since I bought this preosinus quality of recordings are much much better, I even started to like my voice. Feels solid, easy to connect, it has midi in/out which was a reason why I didn’t buy focusrite. Type c connection, I strongly recommend this audio interface

    Habe mir das PreSonus Studio 26c zugelegt.
    ber die Qualitt des Gertes und seine Leistung gibt es eigentlich nicht’s zu meckern, Top.
    Leider vergisst das Gert nach PC Neustart die gesetzen Einstellungen der Tasten (nicht die der Drehregler).
    Somit mssen die Phantomspeisung und Monitorfuntion (Alle 4 Tasten) immer nach Neustart des PCs neu bettigt werden. Das geht fr mich so garnicht! Diese Funtion zustzliche anzubieten wre zwar nett, aber so ist es einfach nur lstig. Habe jetzt das 24c bestellt, das hat das Problem hoffenlich nicht, da die Phnatomspeisung dort anscheind mit einem Drucktasten Schalter belegt ist, der die gewhlte Option hoffentlich beibehllt.

    I still consider myself a newbie sound engineer, but after my focusrite saffire pro 24 interface bit the dust, I read a lot about this device and I was very pleased by the results on paper.
    The setup was seemless and paired with my Yamaha h7’s everything sounded like a dream thus far. I hope it holds up as long as my focusrite saffire pro 24 did and I’ll be a happy camper. I definitely would recommend this to anyone looking to getting into sound engineering or just wanting to do some demo work or practice at home.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersIch hatte das PreSonus Studio 24c gekauft, weil es auch balanced inputs hatte.
    Damit wollte ich das Stereo Signal meiner anderen DAW anschliessen.

    Angeschlossen klang es dann aber komisch. Warum?
    Input 1 & 2 werden leider festverdrahtet als Mono Signal auf beide Stereoausgnge gelegt!
    1 -> 50%L 50%R
    2 -> 50%L 50%R
    Damit sind beide Input Kanle nur in mono zu hren.

    Es fehlt ein einziges bit im Controller um das panning der Kanle auf stereo umzusetzen.
    Eigentlich ist alles fr den Stereo Mix da, aber es fehlt ein Schalter (reicht ja im treiber)
    um das Panning der input Kanle auf Stereo umzustellen.
    1->L
    2->R

    ich musste ein altes analog mischpult aus dem Keller holen um das problem zu Lsen.
    Mit kratzigen poties und solidem grundrauschen.

    Wirklich schade

    Da hat wohl ein Produktmanager nur an Mikro und Guitarre gedacht….
    und nicht daran, dass man vielleicht auch seine bisherige DAW anschliessen knnen sollte?!?

    schade hal

    The dials layout was not intuitive.
    The gain had to be at 90% on instrument and mic to get any decent signal into Garageband on my Macbook pro, so very little headroom.
    I sent it back and stayed with my Focusrite solo, less flexibility in inputs and outputs, but actually is all I need at the moment.

    Great interface. Does what it should and is easy to use. Would have given it 5 stars if they hadnt put the headphone jack on the rear. Purchased an extension to bring it around to front so I dont have to slide it off the shelf to get to the back and plug in headphones every time I use it. Contacted tech support with a question on the driver and they were very responsive. Definitely recommend as long as you dont mind the inconvenient headphone location.

    This audio interface is very easy to use and is very low latency when using GarageBand. Only needs one cable to be plugged into the computer for it to work, and is very easy to use and set up. The back has two monitor outputs which I have not used yet. In conclusion, this is THE AI to get from Amazon.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersLo que ms me gusta es su calidad en todos los aspectos, el sonido es limpio, su construccin robusta, su diseo moderno, y un software para comenzar a crear completo y de manejo sencillo para principiantes.
    Vengo de una focusrite scarlett 2i4
    Que an teniendo buena calidad para mi es inferior en todo, en 4 aos dejo de funcionar de repente.
    Lo nico que no me gusta de la Studio 68c
    Es la entrada de auriculares por estar situada en la parte trasera, para mi es ms prctico tenerlo frontalmente.

    As a voice over it’s always good to have back up equipment. This interface is going to be my daily driver and my Scarlett 2i2 will be back up. This interface is awesome, I love the meters on the front and the fact that it powers the shure sm7b all by itself without a cloud lifter is awesome.

    A massive improvement over the cheap 26/24bit D/A converters I have been using with my Macbook’s SPDIF output. Crisp and clean, and no fuss to set up. I do like to have meters to set some headroom visually on the levels, so that’s a win over the red-coloured competition.

    Nada de ruido, claridad impecable al conectar tanto micrfonos como la guitarra, una librera de software y plugins muy amplia en MyPresonus, lo mejor es tener hasta 192K de muestreo sin latencia aparente y mejoras debido a la conexin con USB3.1… me sorprendi y es muchsimo ms de lo que esperaba, personalmente a pesar de estar muy a la par de la Scarlett, creo que es muchsimo mejor, simplemente debido a lo til que es el display grfico de seal de audio.

    Muy contento con esta compra en su totalidad, la recomiendo 100%

    Installation is fine, but you need to set up an account eith presonus.
    Presonus isn’t clear on how to get the most out of the product (avoid latency / monitoring), which is a pain, and so, YouTube videos are limited but they are your best friend.

    Presonus support should be so much better.

    However, its a good product, it works via USB C.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersI initially bought the 24c version of this. The unit is well built, well packed and a great price, the free software is great and a step about audacity.

    I had to return though – why? The key as to which you buy will need to really depend on your microphone. I am using the Rode NT2 and the 24c is just woefully underpowered to make that mic work. At Max gain I was only just getting the mic to clip, so the headroom to play with the settings on the unit were virtually nil. Using some software gain helped, but it’s not the solution. As my mic needs about 50hz to activate and this unit maxes out at 50 (and in some tests nearer 44) it just did not work for me. Shame, becaise for a simple cheap 2 input unit, is nice.

    Swapped then for a 68c. Which works perfectly. A smoother sound due to the higher spec amps and with a gain that goes to 65 much more room to play. The unit build is same but it’s larger and the signal indicators on the front seem to work better as well. I managed to get a warehouse deal, which was even better and not then a huge difference in cost for the performance. Note you have to plug in the 68, which might also account for the ability to power better and the 24 is usb powered.

    My main challenge with the 68 was it came stinking of cigarette smoke. Pretty sure this was the driver and not the warehouse but had to leave the packaging outside for a day to get rid of the smell.

    Il prodotto non ha bisogno di presentazioni, nella sua fascia di prezzo ottimo. Unico problema, essendo un reso, chi l’ha restituito ha pensato bene di registrare il prodotto e fregarsi la ricca dotazione in bundle (daw/plugins). Quindi ho dovuto contattare Presonus, spiegargli tutto in inglese, mandare fattura e foto dek s/n per farmi registrare il prodotto, che altrimenti sarebbe risultato di qualcun altro,e poter scaricare il software.

    Just to give some backstory I have owned many Presonus products. I have owned some of the very first fire wire products all the way up to some of their USB consuls. I have a new MacBook Pro and I wanted something small and portable to use to record music as well as use it for streaming. This new unit did not disappoint. Very simple to use, has nice clean sound, and is not crazy expensive.Would highly recommend for someone who needs something portable to record.

    Initially bought a cheaper unit from a different manufacturer. This device is much more user friendly, very easy to set up and adds no CPU burden on FL studio due to use of asio drivers. Not used for audio input outside of ripping samples so cannot comment on those aspects of the product.

    Ottima scheda Audio adeguata al prezzo. Buone prestazioni ed elegante nell’aspetto. Inoltre possibile scaricare dal sito Presonus diversi Audio Software, in Primis “Studio One Artist”. Unico neo… ma non voglio influire sulla valutazione, la mancanza a corredo di adattatori fra le uscite Jack 6,35 della sceda e i diffusori con presa RCA. Ho dovuto acquistare il cavetto a parte ed aspettare una settimana per provarla in toto. Pazienza, ma ne vale la pena. Consigliata!
