PreSonus Quantum HD2 Rear Panel

Next-Generation MAX-HD Mic Preamps

At the heart of the Quantum HD 2 are two newly designed MAX-HD mic preamps boasting an incredible +75dB of gain range. These transparent, low-noise preamps utilize digitally controlled analog circuitry to provide stunning clarity and headroom for today's most popular studio mics. You'll experience open, natural-sounding recordings with a wide dynamic range free of unwanted noise or coloration. Whether capturing vocals, acoustic instruments or amplified sources, the MAX-HD preamps deliver pristine quality from input to output.

PreSonus Quantum HD2 With Guitar

Fender-Designed Instrument Inputs

For guitarists and bassists, the Quantum HD 2 features two dedicated instrument inputs codeveloped with the experts at Fender. These front-facing 1/4" jacks are engineered specifically to handle the impedance characteristics of electric guitar and bass pickups. You'll enjoy uncompromising tone with a tight, focused low end and articulate highs that let every note ring true. Whether recording searing leads or pounding rhythms, the Quantum HD 2 captures every nuance of your signature sound with stunning realism.

PreSonus Quantum HD2 In Studio

Cleaner Recording With Auto Gain

Dialing in the perfect gain staging for microphones and instruments is now easier than ever with the Quantum HD 2's Auto Gain function. With a simple press of a button, Auto Gain automatically sets optimal input levels for your connected sources. You'll spend less time fiddling with gain knobs and more time focused on nailing your best takes. Auto Gain delivers pro-quality gain settings right out of the gate, streamlining session setup for quicker recording. Another major plus is the 32-bit/192kHz converters that provide 124dB of dynamic range in your recording, so it’s almost impossible to cause clipping inside of your DAW. 

PreSonus Quantum HD2 Reamp Inputs

Re-Amp Outputs for Creative Tone Sculpting

The Quantum HD 2 gives you two re-amp outputs that open up a new world of tone-shaping possibilities. Simply route any recorded track from your DAW through these outputs and directly into a guitar or bass amp. You can then rerecord the amp's output with different mic placements, effects pedals and more. The reamp workflow lets you experiment with fresh tones and production tricks long after the original performance was captured. It's an inspiring way to keep your creative juices flowing.

PreSonus Quantum HD2 With Studio One+ Software

    Having been a longtime StudioOne user and PreSonus interface owner, I decided on the Quantum HD2 to replace my trusty Studio 192. The Quantum HDs conversion quality and feature set has been everything that I hoped it would be and the built in reamp outputs are a game changer.

  • Frustrating Universal Control App

    Honestly, this unit sounds awesome. Great clean preamps, awesome converters for the price etc. However, since it does not have a direct monitoring button, you have to set up direct monitoring with the universal control app or the Studio One DAW in order to truly get latency-free monitoring. No big deal right? Wrong. I registered this product, downloaded the necessary drivers/software and started to use it. My DAW (Ableton and Logic Pro) picked it up just fine and I was able to record. However, when i went to open the universal control app to set up direct monitoring, it would never recognize my device. I tried re-installing it, restarting my computer, as well as powering the interface on and off but nothing would work. I'm very tech savvy, and am able to usually fix things, but I've spent a solid 4 hours troubleshooting this to no avail. It simply does not work. There is a trick within Studio One that works, but it is time consuming and I am not a Studio One user, although the software is indeed a bargain for the price point. (You get a perpetual Studio One pro license with this interface). It's not my DAW of choice, so therefore I need to use the universal control app to set up direct monitoring for latency-free performance. I find it incredibly frustrating that my DAW's would recognize it but the crappy universal control software that's needed for direct monitoring wouldn't recognize it or pick it up. The interface is so amazing otherwise, it's a shame, but I will be taking this back unless it magically recognizes it tomorrow morning. Presonus should update this firmware to where we users can access direct monitoring from the interface itself, without relying on some control app that doesn't work. like maybe double clicking the volume knob turns it on etc. If Focusrite can put it on their cheapest line of interfaces, surely this Quantum line can figure something out. I can't recommend this to anyone, because they could be playing roulette with the software being able to recognize the device. If you don't need direct monitoring for any reason, then sure this unit is actually incredible for the price. Preamps are good, converters are good, looks good etc. But if others are having this issue why take the chance? If I can somehow get this to work I will update my review, but until then idk why a customer would spend their cash on something unreliable, despite the powerful specs to price ratio.
