Streamline your workflow with recallable XMAX pres
For the recording engineers, our love affair with PreSonus XMAX preamps goes back as far as we can remember. Today, these Class A preamps are better and more versatile than ever. Their high-voltage rails and robust design allow them to deliver clean and open sound at moderate gain settings, and, as you turn up the heat, you can get even richer, more textured, and more colorful tones from them. Unique among many units in its price point, the Quantum 2626's inputs and outputs are DC-coupled, which captures a fuller frequency range than capacitor-coupled I/O, especially in the lower frequencies. Cooler still, the eight XMAX preamps onboard the Quantum 2626 are fully recallable, meaning you can save your gain settings with your projects and instantly recall them when you need them. It's an absolutely amazing time-saver you’ll truly appreciate.
Extensive I/O lets you expand your system
There are so many great ways to get even more out of your Quantum 2626 than just the eight exceptional XMAX preamps.
