PreSonus Quantum ES 4 4 x 4, 24-bit / 192 kHz USB-C Audio Interface with Fender Studio Pro Software

The PreSonus Quantum ES 4 is a 4x4, 24-bit/192 kHz USB-C interface with four MAX-HD mic preamps offering 75 dB of gain. Auto Gain and control from the Universal Control app help when you run a multi-mic show.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Four MAX-HD mic preamps with +75 dB of gain, a useful margin for low-output dynamic mics
  • + Auto Gain button sets input levels for microphones and instruments automatically
  • + Includes a Studio One Pro perpetual license and preamp control from a phone, tablet or desktop

Trade-offs

  • - Costs well above budget interfaces, so it only pays off if you use all four preamps
  • - Four mic inputs are more than a solo or two-host show needs, where a two-preamp unit costs far less
