Professional quality for small and mid-sized studios. An excellent choice for small bands, producers, and small and mid-sized studios, the Studio 68c 6-in, 6-out, USB-C audio interface records at up to 192 kHz. You get two mic/line/instrument and two mic/line inputs, all with PreSonus® XMAX mic preamps, plus DC-coupled line outputs and MIDI I/O. A complete, all-in-one recording studio, the Studio 68c comes with PreSonus’ award-winning Studio One® Artist music production software for macOS® and Windows® and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 3.0 connections.

World-class recording software included. Seamlessly integrated with the included PreSonus Studio One Artist music production software, the Studio 68c 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.

Take the tour. The 6-in, 6-out Studio 68c audio interface features USB-C computer connectivity and includes 2 combo mic/instrument/line inputs and 2 combo mic/line inputs with +48V phantom power for condenser mics, plus S/PDIF digital I/O. All four ¼-inch TRS, line-level outputs are DC coupled, enabling them to send control voltages.

The Studio 68c’s built-in MIDI interface enables connection to a keyboard, sound module, or control surface.
