Presonus Quantum HD8 USB Audio Interface

The Quantum HD 8 features eight newly redesigned high-definition MAX-HD mic preamps with +75 dB of gain – making it ideally suited for today’s most popular microphones. Guitarists and bassists will love the two instrument inputs, which were co-developed with Fender engineers. An Auto Gain button sets the perfect gain level for your microphones and instruments. You also get two re-amp outputs so you can send audio from your DAW to your guitar or bass amp and re-record it to experiment with different amps, pedals, and mic placements. An illuminated push encoder provides flexible control over gain level and output volume, making it great for self-produced recording.

HIGH PERFORMANCE SIGNAL FLOW
Custom low-latency driver provides exceptionally low audio latencies when recording, and high-performance converters with 124 dB dynamic range let you hear and capture audio with stunning clarity and fidelity.

ALL-NEW MAX-HD MIC PREAMPS
The Quantum HD 8 features eight newly designed mic preamps with +75 dB of gain. High-definition MAX-HD preamps are transparent, low-noise, and digitally-controlled analog, making them ideally suited to today’s most popular microphones.

CO-DEVELOPED WITH FENDER®
Built by the best ears in the business, guitarists and bassists will love the two instrument inputs, co-developed with Fender engineers – industry experts who designed them specifically for guitar and bass.

Critical preamp functions like preamp gain, phantom power, and more can be controlled with the Quantum HD 8’s flexible front panel, or right from Studio One and the Universal Control app, so you can dial in the perfect gain staging without looking away from your recording session. Universal Control and your Quantum HD 8 also enable speaker switching—easily check your mixes on two different speaker sets for accuracy.

Number of Channels

Number of Channels: 8

This product offers 8 channels, allowing you to efficiently connect and manage multiple audio sources simultaneously. Each channel operates independently, giving you full control over each input, greatly expanding your ability to create and edit sound.

Number of Preamps

Number of Preamps: 8

8 preamplifiers provide high quality sound processing for 8 independent channels. Each preamplifier ensures clear and detailed sound, minimizes noise, and provides excellent dynamics.

Phantom Power

Phantom Power: Yes

Phantom power provides the necessary voltage for condenser microphones that require an external power source to operate properly. This power supply is built directly into the microphone input, eliminating the need for additional power supplies.

Bit Depth: 32 bit

The 32-bit depth provides an extremely wide dynamic range and extreme precision in audio processing. This format is ideal for professional recording, post-production and sound design, where it is essential to capture every detail with maximum precision and minimum noise. 32-bit depth ensures the highest possible quality, which is especially important when processing highly dynamic audio.

S/PDIF: Yes

S/PDIF is a digital interface used to transfer high-quality audio between devices such as CD players, audio interfaces, amplifiers, and home theaters. It transfers audio signals in digital form without any loss of quality. S/PDIF ensures clean and accurate signal transmission without the need for conversion to analog form, minimizing noise and interference, making it ideal for professional and home audio systems.

Skvělý zvuk a intuitivní ovládání jak na zvukové kartě, tak i prostřednictvím UC Surface. Možnost připojení dalších 16-ti kanálů přes ADAT a jejich vizualizace na kartě i v UC. Možnost směrovat nezávislé mixy jak do dvou sluchátkových výstupů, tak do sluchátkového distributoru. Zvláště oceňuji možnost integrovaného výstupu u dvou nástrojových vstupů (ušetřím tak dva DI boxy) a možnost připojit a přepínat dva páry reproduktorů pro porovnání mixu. Možnost MIDI I/O a SPDIF I/O (zejména pro klávesy) zase ušetří zbytečnou kabeláž a potřebu dalších stop. Za mě SUPER.

Great sound and intuitive control both on the sound card and via UC Surface. Possibility to connect another 16 channels via ADAT and visualize them on the card and in UC. Possibility to route independent mixes to both two headphone outputs and a headphone distributor. I especially appreciate the possibility of an integrated output for two instrument inputs (this saves two DI boxes) and the possibility to connect and switch two pairs of speakers for mix comparison. The possibility of MIDI I/O and SPDIF I/O (especially for keyboards) saves unnecessary cabling and the need for additional tracks. SUPER for me.
