producers interested in recording full bands, including multi-channel drums. It
records up to 18 simultaneous inputs and features 8 XMAX Class A mic preamps, as
well as MIDI I/O. Its 20 outputs offer flexible routing with zero-latency DSP-based
monitor mixing and control-room integration with included Studio One® Artist
music production software and UC Surface control software.
World-class recording software included.
Seamlessly integrated with the included PreSonus UC Surface control software for
macOS®, Windows®, iPad®, and Android™ tablet and Studio One Artist music
production software, the Studio 1824c audio interface works with virtually all
macOS and Windows recording software. Easy to learn, Studio One enables you to
compose, record, and produce without getting distracted by the tools. Need a new
loop or sample for your latest production? Studio One lets you shop, audition,
and purchase new content right from your production environment—including
powerful extensions for Studio One like the CTC-1 Console Shaper and Presence XT
Editor.
Take the tour.
The Studio 1824c audio interface features USB-C™ compatible computer
connectivity and records up to 18 simultaneous inputs, including two combo mic
and switchable line/instrument inputs and six mic/line inputs, all with XMAX mic
preamps and +48V phantom power. Digital inputs include eight channels of ADAT
Optical I/O (four channels at 96 kHz) and stereo S/PDIF I/O. In addition to the
main L/R outputs, you get eight DC-coupled line-level outputs that can send
control voltages. You also get two headphone outputs. A built-in MIDI interface
enables connection to a keyboard, sound module, or control surface.
