Or as low as PreSonus Studio 1810c 18×8 USB Type-C Audio/MIDI Interface
Overview
The PreSonus Studio 1810c is an 18×8 USB Type-C audio/MIDI interface offering high-resolution conversion and a powerful software package for bands and audio engineers in home/project studios and mobile setups. Connect mic-, instrument-, or line-level sources via four XLR-1/4″ combo inputs, each utilizing its own gain control and XMAX Class-A mic preamp with phantom power. The four rear-panel 1/4″ inputs are ideal for accepting additional line-level sources. Operate at up to 24-bit / 48 kHz resolution without sacrificing channel count, or at 192 kHz sample rate with 8×6 I/O functionality.
Features:
The Studio 1810c has six balanced 1/4″ line outputs; the first two are fed by a dedicated level control for use with a pair of active monitors. Two 1/4″ TRS stereo headphone outputs with front-panel volume knobs accommodate two sets of headphones. Digital connections include stereo S/PDIF I/O via coaxial jacks, and an 8-channel ADAT optical input. 5-pin MIDI I/O jacks on the rear panel allow simple hookup of a MIDI controller, synthesizer, or sound module.
The Studio 1810c includes USB cables for easy connectivity to your compatible macOS or Windows computer. It is powered via an included external power supply. Also supplied is a software bundle featuring the Studio One Artist DAW and the Studio Magic plug-in suite—a slew of creative tools for producers, engineers, songwriters, and more.
