PreSonus Studio 68c Audio Interface

The Studio 68c is ideal for small productions, electronic artists, and bands looking to take charge of their recordings—thanks to the amazing sound quality of four PreSonus XMAX analog mic preamps—plus professional metering and monitoring features.

Two stereo outputs provide flexible output options. A powerful headphone amp with A/B switching lets you listen in to either mix, ideal for live performance applications. With Studio One Artist and the Studio Magic Plug-in Suite included, the Studio 68c is an audio production powerhouse right out of the box.
