Overview

Not a bare interface, this PreSonus bundle adds closed-back studio monitor headphones and a pair of XLR cables to a two-in, two-out USB-C desktop interface. It records to Mac or Windows, or to an iOS or Android device.

High-definition preamps with a lot of gain, a front instrument input and high-resolution converters give it broad use in studio or on stage. Studio One software is listed as supported. The limitation is conflicting cable details between the description and the box list.

Who it's for

Creators who record at a desk, on a phone or in a live setting and want headphones included. Buyers who need exact cable lengths, or who already own cables and monitoring, may prefer the interface alone.
