Presonus Studio 1810c
The PreSonus Studio 1810c is a USB-C audio interface, perfect for high definition recording anywhere. The 1810c features four XMAX mic preamps with two inputs that accept mic/instrument/line inputs and two that accept mic/line inputs. These all have +48V phantom power for powering microphones. In addition to these inputs, four additional line inputs on TRS are present on the back of the unit. Inputs also include digital S/PDIF and ADAT to bring the total input count to 18.
The main outputs are a stereo pair of balanced TRS output with front panel control over level as well as mute and mono controls. In addition, four DC-coupled balanced line outputs can be used to send audio or control voltage to external destinations. The onboard 24-bit/192kHz converters result in impeccable audio quality while the preamps provide ample headroom and ultra-clean recording.
