PreSonus Quantum ES2 Audio Interface - Secondhand

Full Description

Ultra-low latency tracking

Experience recording with near-zero delay with the Quantum ES 2's custom low-latency driver. This feature is a game-changer for musicians and producers who need to monitor audio in real-time without the distraction of lag. It allows for tighter performances and easier alignment of live instruments and vocals during multi-track recording sessions, making it a reliable tool in any professional recording environment.

Revolutionary MAX-HD mic preamps

The Quantum ES 2's MAX-HD mic preamps are a result of three decades of research and development, providing up to +75 dB of clean gain. This makes them highly effective for various types of microphones, from dynamic to condenser, ensuring every recording captures the true essence of the sound source. Their digitally-controlled analog nature allows for precise settings, which results in transparent and noise-free recordings.

Fender-enhanced instrument inputs

Quantum ES 2 boasts an instrument input designed alongside Fender engineers, offering unmatched quality for guitar and bass recordings. This input is optimized to reproduce the intricate dynamics and tonal characteristics of your instrument, ensuring every strum or pluck is detailed and true to the original sound. It’s ideal for musicians looking to achieve studio-grade recordings at home.

Complete with Fender Studio Pro - perpetual licence

Fender Studio Pro is a full-featured digital audio workstation (DAW) designed to help musicians, producers, and creators write, record, edit, mix and master music in a single, professional environment.

The software brings together Fender’s celebrated amp and effects modelling, including Mustang and Rumble plugins, with advanced DAW features such as drag-and-drop workflows, Channel and Arrangement Overviews for clearer session navigation, and AI-assisted tools like chord suggestion and audio-to-MIDI conversion to streamline creativity. Its updated design makes it easier for guitarists at all levels to lay down ideas quickly while still offering the depth needed for full productions.
