Product Description

The PreSonus Quantum 4848 is an audio interface designed specifically to handle vintage setups. Get classic tone through crystal clear digital conversion with massive headroom and near-zero latency.

Hear your analogue gear like you never have before. The Quantum 4848 is a professional standard 32 I/O interface, housing 24-bit/192kHz sound conversion. A rival to all on the current market.

Digital integration

Route analogue audio into your DAW in pristine quality. The Quantum 4848's Thunderbolt 2 is one of the fastest connections available in no frills fashion. The Studio One Professional’s Pipeline XT plug-in is a brilliant addition that compensates with automatic latency fixes. On top of that is 16 digital channels. 

Vintage gear can be noisy. So the Quantum 4848 has been designed to handle up to 120dB of dynamic range. Combine up to four 4848 or Quantum 2 interfaces to add PreSonus’ recallable XMAX Class A high-headroom preamps.

Software

Control all the Quantum 4848's onboard features using the app on your tablet or PC. Oversee extreme detail for the perfect recording sessions.

The PreSonus Quantum 4848 also comes with an amazing plug-in bundle. Get recording immediately with the Studio Magic Plug-in Suite, packed with awesome top studio gear from the likes of Lexicon, Arturia and Maag Audio. Compatible with any DAW.
