Overview
A small personal studio or a portable recording rig is where this PreSonus Anniversary edition is aimed, a two-channel USB interface with Class-A mic preamps, instrument inputs and MIDI connections. Power arrives over the USB cable.
Plug-and-record simplicity, direct monitoring and bundled DAW software make this a sensible starter interface, and it travels well without a wall adapter. Anyone tracking several sources together will outgrow two channels quickly.
Who it's for
Beginning home recordists, songwriters and mobile creators who track one or two sources at a time. Groups and anyone building a larger studio should choose an interface with more inputs.
Pros and cons
- Bus powered, no adapter needed
- Class-A mic preamps with phantom power
- Instrument inputs for guitar and bass
- MIDI in and out
- Two channels only
- USB two connection
- Phantom power is global, not per channel
Performance notes
Preamps and converters set the quality of what reaches the computer, and a mixer control blends live inputs with playback so you can monitor without delay. The headphone output and balanced outputs feed headphones and speakers directly. Power comes over the USB bus, so a good cable and port matter.
