Superior sound.
The Studio 26c operates at up to 192 kHz for ultra-high-definition recording and mixing. High-quality converters on every input and output and PreSonus' professional-grade XMAX-L mic preamps enable you to capture complex musical harmonics smoothly and naturally, with no audible distortion. XMAX-L mic preamps are designed to perform optimally on bus-powered audio interfaces, allowing you to take great sound with you wherever you record.
Stress-free recording.
Professional tools make any job easier. That's why we included professional input and output metering on the Studio 26c, allowing you to keep an eye on your input and mix levels when you're recording by yourself. An easy to use direct monitor control blends the analog input signals with playback from your computer, simplifying monitoring. Two pairs of outputs afford two different stereo mixes. The Cue A / B button allows you to toggle between each mix while listening in on headphones, great for live performance and studio alike.
Wherever sound takes you.
Whether you're just getting into music production or looking to upgrade your DJ rig, the Studio 26c will give you clear, clean, ultra-high-def sound in a bus-powered, rugged unit. While it's a perfect companion for any recording software, the Studio 26c combines with included Studio One Artist to provide you with a complete, affordable recording solution that will make you sound great.
Apple Silicon, iOS, and iPadOS compatibility-standard.
The PreSonus Studio 26c is natively compatible with Apple Silicon-based Mac computers*, as well as iOS and iPadOS devices, including iPad Pro, iPad, iPad Air, iPad Mini, iPod Touch, and iPhone. Because it's USB class-compliant, there are no special drivers or applications to download and install.
