The Speediest PreSonus Quantum Yet!

Powered by high-speed Thunderbolt 3 technology and eight pristine XMAX mic preamps, the PreSonus Quantum 2626 is an exceptionally fast audio interface with outstanding sound quality. State-of-the-art 24-bit/192kHz converters and rock-solid clocking deliver an impressive 120dB of dynamic range with jitter-free performance.

Need more I/O? Dual ADAT inputs allow expansion up to 26 inputs and outputs, making the Quantum 2626 a flexible hub for growing studios. Included is a 6-month subscription to Studio One Pro+, featuring add-ons, tools, and exclusive content, along with access to Studio One Professional Edition. Simply open the Universal Control app on your desktop or smart device to unlock complete control.

Ultra-transparent XMAX Analog Mic Preamps

PreSonus XMAX Class A mic preamps are renowned for their clean, open sound and impressive versatility. High-voltage rails and a robust design deliver pristine tones at moderate gain, while higher gain settings reveal richer, more textured character.

Unlike many interfaces in its class, the Quantum 2626 features DC-coupled inputs and outputs, capturing a fuller frequency range—especially in the lows—compared to capacitor-coupled designs.

Extensive I/O Lets You Expand Your System

Beyond its eight XMAX preamps, the Quantum 2626 offers extensive expansion options. Two onboard ADAT lightpipe ports allow system growth up to 26-in/26-out, while dual line returns make it easy to integrate external hardware and effects.

Built-in MIDI I/O enables connection to controllers, synth modules, and other MIDI-equipped devices, ensuring seamless integration into any production setup.

Pro-quality Conversion, Clocking, and More

The Quantum 2626 features high-end 24-bit/192kHz converters that rival much more expensive interfaces. With up to 120dB of detailed, spacious dynamic range and rock-solid clocking, it serves as a reliable centerpiece for professional recording environments.

Epic Speed and Flexibility of Thunderbolt 3

Thunderbolt 3 connectivity delivers ultra-low latency performance, making hardware latency virtually nonexistent. Even in high sample-rate sessions, the Quantum 2626 achieves round-trip latency of less than 1ms, ensuring smooth, responsive recording.

Universal Control & Studio One Pro+: Comprehensive Coverage Anywhere

The Quantum 2626 combines intuitive hardware control with the powerful Universal Control App for a streamlined recording experience. Available on smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops, the app enables effortless capture of inspiration in any environment.

Universal Control manages hardware drivers, DSP editing, mixing, and the integrated Studio One Pro+ toolset bundled with the Quantum 2626, along with Studio One Professional Edition.

What PreSonus Says...

With a barely measurable round-trip latency of less than 1 ms, it’s no surprise that Sound on Sound magazine dubbed Quantum-series Thunderbolt audio interfaces the “fastest audio interface on the planet.” The Quantum 2626 leverages the Thunderbolt 3 bus and PreSonus® proprietary drivers to achieve industry-leading ultra-low latency, allowing you to record and monitor at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz through your favorite plug-ins without ever leaving the DAW.

The Quantum 2626 delivers up to 26 inputs and 26 outputs, featuring eight renowned XMAX Class A analog microphone preamps. High-quality converters on every analog input and output provide up to 115 dB of dynamic range with superior low-jitter clocking, ensuring clean, detailed capture of complex musical harmonics without audible distortion.

MIDI I/O and BNC word clock I/O ensure tight synchronization with other digital audio devices, while the rugged 1U rack-mountable, all-metal chassis with metal knobs offers durability for both studio and touring environments.

Bundled with a Studio One Pro perpetual license, the Quantum 2626 is a complete professional recording solution. It is compatible with virtually any macOS or Windows-based recording software, and the free PreSonus Universal Control software provides full metering and an integrated real-time analyzer (RTA).
