  • My Partner Says it's Great
Style: Studio 24c (2 Mic Pres/2 Outs) Pattern Name: Audio Interface
I have no idea what this is but my partner wanted it for birthday gift. He loves it and says it works fantastic. He uses it to play simultaneously while singing in an online app with his bandmate as well as for recording their songs. I hope that helps if you're considering buying this.

  • Finally got my digital piano to sound amazing!
Style: Studio 24c (2 Mic Pres/2 Outs) Pattern Name: Audio Interface
Got this interface for my digital piano setup. Connected my piano via USB to MacBook, then MacBook to Studio 24c via USB-C. From there, output goes to my TubePre v2 preamp and HP4 headphone amp. The Studio 24c handles both audio and MIDI perfectly. Front panel has clear metering and the combo inputs accept both XLR and 1/4" cables. Direct monitoring lets me play without latency, and the build quality is sturdy with metal construction. Using this with Pianoteq 8.4 through my MacBook significantly improved my piano's sound quality compared to direct headphone output. Good value for home piano enthusiasts looking to upgrade their audio chain. ... show more

  • More holes than swiss cheese.
Style: Studio 1824c (4 Mic Pres/10 Outs) Pattern Name: Audio Interface
This is my 4th Presonus Audio Interface over 20 years. Not because they are going bad (just the first one), but because they sound great, are easy to work with, and just nail my needs. This thing has more holes than swiss cheese. Holes for rack mounts, holes for multiple pairs of headphones, holes for instruments, synths, and microphones all at the same time. I have two microphones plugged in ready to go, my Roland SP 404 Mk2 plugged in to send and receive audio (in and out), as well as my stereo guitar rig. I still have 4 inputs available for anything! The knobs feel smooth. The buttons feel nice and have a little give on them so you FEEL like you are pressing something. Having all the controls on the front and most of the inputs and outputs on the back is convenient. Everything that you need is always within arms reach. ... show more

  • Useful for laptop/desktop, not so useful for mobile device
Style: Studio 24c (2 Mic Pres/2 Outs) Pattern Name: Audio Interface
I like the presonus 24c. the four meters are great, two for the inputs, and two for the mains. The mains are useful when using the headphone jack. The inputs are useful for quick gain adjustments. The idea of a single USB-C port for both power and data is great. But in practice, I found it somewhat wanting. With a laptop, it's actually very nice as it's a single cable for both, and the sound stays very clean. But for connecting to a tablet, it's less useful. iPads don't send out enough power through the lightning port or the new usb-c port to power up the 24c. So, you need some kind of hub in between that handles both powering and data pass-through to the iPad. I don't have any such hubs, but even if I bought one, it's one more thing to carry. If I have to run off a usb battery, then that's 4 things to carry, not including the mic and headphones. So, I would have preferred split ports with the option to run data and power through a single port, or the option to run data through one port and power through another. A simple toggle switch to determine which is preferred. A lot of audio interfaces in the same price range do this. Those devices use older USB interfaces, and frankly, for those devices, the single-port-for-both-power-and-data options is not good, nowhere near the cleanliness of the presonus. But still, I would prefer that choice. I also with the xlr inputs were in the back and the headphone jack was in the front. Seems like most interfaces have the xlr inputs in the front. Not something I prefer, but oh well. Though this may be a lot to ask for such a cost effective device, it would have been nice to have a couple of HPF options and a couple of limiter options. But for the price, maybe that's pushing the desire a bit. I currently have a sound devices 302 in front of the presonus to handle HPF and limiter duties. A rather expensive way to go, but it works well. All in all, a great little device. clean sound, easy to use potentiometers, simple button for phantom powering, indicator for USB power on. For under $200, damn impressive. ... show more

This thing is great. Powered by usb-c, two inputs, for something with this build quality it’s amazing. Super easy to setup. I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn’t need 6-10 tracks. Amazing piece of gear.
