Uncompromising Clarity With MAX-HD Mic Preamps

These transparent, low-noise, digitally controlled analog preamps ensure your mics capture every nuance with exceptional detail and clarity across the entire frequency range. Engage individual phantom power per channel to get optimal performance from studio condensers.
Seamless Tracking for Guitars and Basses
In a collaboration with Fender's esteemed guitar engineers, PreSonus designed the Quantum HD 8's instrument inputs specifically for electric guitar and bass. You'll experience the true character of your stringed instruments without any coloration or loss of tone. Additionally, an Auto Gain feature sets the perfect level for hassle-free recording. Two re-amp outputs let you capture your pickups through outboard amps and effects for infinite tonal shaping.
Hear Every Subtle Detail With Stunning Fidelity
The Quantum HD 8 incorporates high-performance 32-bit/192kHz converters with an incredible 124dB of dynamic range. This ensures you hear every breath, transient and nuance with lifelike realism and depth. A custom low-latency driver keeps monitoring tight and responsive. Such pristine audio quality makes the Quantum HD 8 ideal for modern recording, broadcast and even mastering applications where transparency is paramount.
Streamlined Recording With Flexible I/O and Control
Connecting your studio is fast and simple thanks to the Quantum HD 8's plentiful I/O. In addition to the eight MAX-HD preamps, you get 16 channels of ADAT and stereo S/PDIF inputs for integrating digital mixers, synths and samplers. Numerous balanced line outputs give you flexible monitoring options. A high resolution screen with an illuminated push encoder provides intuitive control. You can even adjust levels wirelessly via Universal Control on your mobile device or directly in Studio One's console.
