High-Performance Signal Flow
Presonus' custom low-latency driver provides exceptionally low audio latencies when recording.
High-performance converters complete the front end to ensure that you sound your best throughout the entire signal chain.
All-New MAX-HD Mic Preamps
The Quantum ES 2 features four all-new next-generation PreSonus MAX-HD preamps that provide transparency and accuracy across the frequency range with +75 dB of gain to maximize the performance of today’s most popular microphones for modern recording and broadcast.
These proprietary high-definition MAX-HD preamps are transparent, low-noise, and can be digitally controlled from the Studio One DAW or the Universal Control app.
Discreet phantom power means consistent, full power for microphones that require it, so you’ll get the most from your high-performance studio microphones.
Instrument Input Codeveloped with Fender
Built by the best ears in the business, guitarists and bassists will love the 1/4" Hi-Z instrument input, codeveloped with Fender engineers—industry experts who design specifically for guitar and bass.

An Auto Gain button sets the perfect gain level for your microphones and instruments, so you get the perfect take every time.
