Product Overview
Give your project studio room to grow with the professional-grade Quantum HD 2 20 x 24, 32-bit / 192 kHz USB-C Audio Interface. Featuring two redesigned MAX-HD mic preamps with +75 dB of gain, it's perfectly tailored for today's most popular microphones. Guitarists and bassists will appreciate the two instrument inputs, co-developed with Fender engineers. An Auto Gain button ensures optimal levels for your recordings, while two re-amp outputs invite experimentation with different amps, pedals, and mic placements after the initial tracks have been recorded. An integrated custom driver guarantees minimal audio latency during recording, while the high-performance converters deliver stunning clarity and fidelity from tip to tail. With a 124 dB dynamic range, you'll capture everything from a whisper to a scream with the depth and realism it deserves. Control your Quantum HD 2 effortlessly from Studio One or the Universal Control app, adjusting preamp gain, toggling phantom power, and more without interrupting your recording session. Plus, enjoy 12 months of Studio One+ add-ons and exclusive content. With speaker-switching capabilities and a full-color high-resolution screen, the Quantum HD 2 offers unparalleled flexibility and control for your recording needs.
