  • Great low latency Audio Interface
Style: PreSonus Size: ES 2
This is a great improvement over the previous USB 96 interface that I was using. Way more controls, very intuitive, and low latency. If I had to find a negative, I would say that the midi interface is not what I expected. Rather than the standard 5 pin connector that you would normally see, this has what appears to be a mini plug. Other than that, it's a great interface. ... show more

  • Quality interface, reasonable price
Style: PreSonus Size: ES 2
For the price, you can’t go wrong with this interface. It’s small enough to lug around, has top notch converters and looks nice. While it has a useful auto gain feature, there’s no DSP features.

  • Hard to use - standalone mode doesnt work out of the box and poor experience with Presonus suport.
Style: PreSonus Size: ES 2
I am not happy with the ease of use of the product and I am not happy with Presonus customer support either. Standalone mode didnt work out of box, I see the input LEDs wiggling, but the output LED doesnt wigge and I dont hear sound from this mixer. I thus decided to contact Presonus support The first call resulted in the support technician opening a support ticket. Subsequently, I have gone back and forth on the support ticket for a couple of weeks now and they have not sent me simple straightforward instructions to enable standalone mode. They provide a bunch of links and ask me to go look for the answer in there. What is the point of contacting support if the response is to read a bunch of documentation? Can they not type up a simple set of steps (without any links) that will help me fix the problem I have? Case in point - does anyone read documentation for how to operate an iPhone? I am unfortunately outside of the return window so the order is not returnable and Presonus said they wont refund me for this product. Alas, I have to live with this piece of hard-to-use mixer. ... show more

  • Decent interface for the money
Style: PreSonus Size: ES 2
There are things I like and things I'm not thrilled with. My last interface was a Presonus 24c. This interface is similar in sound quality but the layout is nicer. The top facing controls are easy to read and adjust while I play. I miss the mixer knob, but I found out how to use the interface in stand alone mode. I can't say anything about the software, I already use Studio One and I wasn't offered a new key. One last thought this interface is being replaced soon. Fender owns Presonus and decided to rebrand in 2026. The new Fender website does not mention this interface. ... show more
