Award-winning XMAX preamps onboard
Ever since PreSonus’s first-generation XMAX preamps hit the market, Sweetwater engineers have been huge fans of their naturally warm and vibrant sound. The Studio 26c showcases the new solid-state XMAX-L preamp generation. These pres still offer the signature sound. At the same time, they can be impressively clear. Just pull back the gain a little, and you’ll still have loads of volume with plenty of headroom to spare.
Professional-level digital resolution available
Speaking of headroom, thanks to the Studio 26c’s high-quality digital converters, you get an impressive 115dB of dynamic range that allows you to capture every nuance and sonic detail of your source. What’s more, these converters are capable of operating at up to 192kHz resolution, allowing you to go well past the 96kHz of professional studio work and future-proof your recordings for the high-quality standards yet to come. In other words, whether you need ultra-high-resolution audio for sound-design work or simply want to capture your recordings in the greatest possible sonic detail, your Studio 26c is ready for the job.
Equipped with convenient A/B monitoring
One thing that’s absolutely critical when it comes to high-quality studio recording and DJ/electronic music performance is flexible monitoring, and the Studio 26c delivers. PreSonus outfitted the Studio 26c with their Cue Mix A/B headphone selection. This allows you to switch smoothly between two independent mixes, which is great when shifting between a recording mix and the main mix or cueing up tracks in a live DJ set.
MIDI I/O offers extended hardware control
Need to hook up MIDI gear? Your Studio 26c has that covered too. It lets you connect everything from old-school controller keyboards to modern digitally controlled guitar amps, all via a set of traditional 5-pin MIDI ports. Simple, foolproof, and easy to use, you’ll be amazed at how often these connections prove to be useful.
Killer software package included
Packaged with Studio One Artist, the Studio 26c provides you with everything you need to start recording on your computer. And to take it to the next level, PreSonus includes the Studio Magic plug-in suite. This extensive collection of seven popular plug-ins covers models of top studio gear from manufacturers such as Maag Audio, Lexicon, and Arturia, adding up to hundreds of dollars’ worth of extra value. Punch up your mix bus with Brainworx’s bx_opto, fire up transients with SPL’s Attacker, and much more. And since these plug-ins are available in AAX, VST, and AU formats, they’re compatible with any DAW you choose.
