Don't want to worry about latency anymore? No problem. Pick up this PreSonus Quantum 4848, and hardware latency is virtually a thing of the past. Even when you load up your sessions with high-sample-rate tracks, your Quantum 4848 packs the performance you need to never miss a beat. Thunderbolt 2 lets you stack up to four Quantum 4848s together for 192 ins and outs — so if you're looking for a way to integrate a console or large patchbay into your recording setup, then this is the way to go. On that note, dual ADAT optical ports make it easy to expand your I/O with additional preamps and converters.
Remote control via FREE UC Surface app
Here's an amazing bonus — you can control virtually all of your Quantum 4848's onboard features via PreSonus's free UC Surface control software. Grab your iPad or other tablet, fire up the app, and control your Quantum 4848 from anywhere you have a network connection. It's great for tracking vocals or keeping an eye on detailed meters, no matter what your recording software is doing.
