Comprehensive audio interface

The Presonus Quantum HD2 is an audio interface capable of transmitting via up to 20 inputs and 24 outputs – to manage this extraordinary workload, its rear panel comes fitted out with dual mic/line inputs, one S/PDIF, two optical I/Os, and four line outs. On the front, there are two additional line inputs for connecting guitars and basses, as well as two line outs, which are handy for sending signals to external studio equipment. All this is rounded off with two headphone outputs, and of course the front panel is also where all the important recording parameters are controlled. The Quantum HD2's Auto Gain function means there is no need for any levelling before recording a take. The PreSonus MAX-HD technology ensures transparent and precise sound over a wide frequency range with up to +75dB of gain, and the whole setup allows musicians to make intuitive yet high-quality recordings.

PreSonus Quantum HD2

Flexible connections for high-quality recordings

The rear panel of the PreSonus Quantum HD2 is equipped with two mic/line inputs and outputs, which include XLR/jack combo sockets for maximum flexibility. This doesn't just enable the connection of microphones: Line levels can also be received via the mic jacks, for example from keyboards or digital pianos. To the left are the four studio monitor connections, for two pairs that can be used for flexible monitoring. MIDI data can be transmitted via the S/PDIF connection, and the integrated preamps can process signals in a quality of up to 192kHz and 24 bit, with a dynamic range of 117dB(A). There are two inputs on the front panel suitable for connecting two electric guitars, which represent a high-impedance signal source for an audio interface: The ports were developed as part of a collaboration with guitar manufacturer Fender, so the sound quality is outstanding.

Perfectly equipped for studio recordings

The PreSonus Quantum HD2 was designed for musicians and content creators who want to make high-quality recordings from up to four analogue signal sources at the same time. Success is virtually guaranteed because the device can be used so intuitively – the Auto Gain function in particular helps make spontaneous recordings a reality. These options can also be expanded by including digital inputs and outputs via the rear panel. If phantom power is activated, condenser microphones can be used for more precise recordings, while low latency during recordings is a given thanks to the drivers specially developed by PreSonus – this is particularly useful for live applications. The loopback function makes it easy to record monitor mixes via virtual channels, and for the most demanding recordings, special settings can be made via the Universal Control app to perfectly customise every aspect.

About PreSonus

Presonus is a US company founded in 1995 by Jim Odom and Brian Smith in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The firm designs hardware and software at both professional and more affordable levels for musicians and producers. Presonus first made a splash in the mid-1990s with the DCP8, an eight-channel analogue compressor/limiter/gate with fader and mute automation that could be digitally controlled by MIDI. In the early 2000s followed a series of microphone amplifiers and the first audio interfaces for the then-emerging home studio scene. Today, the company's product range includes audio interfaces, microphone preamps, digital mixing consoles, and studio monitors as well as the established DAW software Studio One.

Perfect levels for every recording

The Universal Control app from Presonus can be installed on all computers and mobile devices, offering flexibility when recording while maintaining perfect levels in a wide variety of scenarios. Among other things, the app can be used to control the gain of the preamps and the phantom power for the connected condenser microphones. The bespoke modern preamps use digitally controlled analogue technology and ensure low-noise recording. A twelve-month licence for the PreSonus Studio One+ DAW is included in the purchase price, as well as access to the One Professional Edition and other add-ons, so users can start producing content straight away. For monitoring in that ideal sweet spot, two studio monitor pairs (sold separately) can be set up at an angle of 30° to each other.

Presonus Quantum HD 2 Thing Of Beauty
BladeRH4 11.05.2025
I have waited some months before writing this review. I will only describe what I personally think of the HD 2 because details and instructions can be found on the internet.

Out of the box the Presonus Quantum HD 2 is basically a 2 in 4 out audio interface but has lots of routing and expansion possibilities. All in and out features are high quality and this audio interface realy sounds good. Also the single headphone output sounds very good and will be loud enough for any situation. The display is very nice, clear and informative. Universal Control provides a mixer with all routing you can wish for. It is well laid out and easy to use. Presets can be stored as Scenes. The "One Knob Approach" works very good since there are only 2 physicall inputs.

I am a guitarist and absolutely love the 2 instrument inputs. They realy sounds better than other audio interfaces I have owned. There are also 2 additional instrument outputs which can be connected to guitar amps or FX pedals for Reamping. I tried them and it worked perfectly.

For me the drivers and low latency are important. Taken in account that this is a USB device the latency is very good. With a buffer size of 128 at 48Khz the round trip latency is about 7 ms. With a buffer size of 64 it is about 5 ms. Both buffer sizes will work very good while monitoring a guitar through an amp sim. Also I have to mention that these drivers are absolutely rock solid for me. Not a single glitch in 4 months of use.

Presonus support was very kind answering some pre sales questions. I found them very friendly and responsive. The choice was between the ES 4 (which is more the desktop version) and the HD 2. Since I never use more than 2 inputs simultaneously I chose the HD 2 and do not regret that choice. I prefer the layout of the HD 2 over the ES 4.

I think this audio interface is a thing of beauty and art in all aspects and I can only highly recommend it.

For the price, there is not a more complete unit in the market.

Everything from the mic pres, to the AD/DA, to the guitar ins, to the headphone amp is great. I have yet to try the Reamping outs. I assume that it is as good as everything else in this unit. Also there is the possibility to add 16 additional I/O with ADAT expansion. Please notice that this is not SPDIF Toslink, just works with ADAT connections. A small disappointment since I have some external DACs that I would have liked to have the option to connect. Still I can connect them with the Spdif included in the interface as well. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the drivers. I'm opening projects I was able to open with my previous RME digiface (using Ferrofish converters A16 MK ii) and I get stuttering. Even putting the buffer to the maximum doesn't help that much. In the worst case scenario I can still connect it via ADAT to my Digiface and use the amazing RME drivers with this Presonus. I find that I use plugins less with this unit since the D/A is of very high quality (maybe I was overusing a little too much vst's in my projects anyways). Also nice that the unit looks and feels great. The biggest surprises were the instrument in and the mic pres. Both sound amazing with anything I tested them with. Have some patience with the universal control software, just as with Totalmix it takes some time to learn. Highly recommended even compared to units that cost 2 or 3 times its price.

Klein aber Oho
dbk3r 19.08.2024
Da mein aktuelles Interface (Quantum 2626 ) leider nicht mehr meinen Ansprüchen gerecht war , suchte ich ein Audio Interface, welches sehr kurze Latenzen vorweist, ein direktes Monitoring unterstützt und ein Loopback Kanal zur Aufzeichnung z.B. in OBS bereitstellt.
Ausserdem sollten per ADAT noch weitere 16 IN/OUT nutzbar bleiben.

So bin ich auf das Quantum HD2 gestoßen.
Kompakt und es entspricht all meinen Anforderungen.

In Studio One 6 messe ich 2-5 ms Latenzen im Low-Latency-Mode, kann aber auch auf das direkt Monitoring umschalten, wenn der Artist bei der Aufnahme nicht mit den Latenzen klar kommt.
Im Treiber werden auch gleich 2 Stereo Loopback Kanäle angeboten, auf welche natürlich auch unterschiedlichen Quellen gelegt werden können.
Somit lässt sich auch mit OBS aufzeichnen.
Der Support bei Presonus ist übrigens sehr zufriedenstellend, weiter so!
Alles in Allem bin ich sehr zufrieden und muss sagen, dieses Interface ist das beste, welches ich bisher nutzen oder testen durfte.

Feiner Klang, schönes Display, aber
6stringquäler 15.10.2025
Meine Entscheidungsparameter: Mic- und Line-Eingänge nach hinten für Einbau ins Rack, hohe Klangqualität. Optional weitere Eingänge nachrüstbar.
Zuvor hatte ich ein SSL 2+2 im Home Recording Einsatz (Windows mini PC). Da das SSL 2+2 aber nicht ins Rack passte und ich beim Klang noch einen Tick weiter in Richtung Qualität gehen wollte, fiel meine Wahl auf das Presonus Produkt. Leider keine 19", aber da ich noch ein passendes Tray hatte, war das Gerät schnell mittels Klettband fixiert und eingebaut - nun wenige Millimeter über einer HE. Externes Netzteil und Rack sind nicht die besten Freunde; immerhin kann der Koax-Stecker am Eingang verschraubt werden und wird sich nicht unbeabsichtigt lösen, die Verbindungen des Netzkabels sind demgegenüber nicht so verlässlich. Beim Einbau fiel mir die Empfindlichkeit der matten Lackierung auf, welche allein durch die Handhabung irgendwie schon unschöner aussah und nachgewischt werden wollte. Cooler Look als Trenderscheinung, die nicht praktisch ist: 1 Stern weniger in der Verarbeitung.
Bedienung: Beim SSL 2+2 hatte ich direkten Zugriff auf alle Einstellmöglichkeiten, das ist bei dem Quantum HD2 etwas umständlicher. Um etwas einzustellen, muss ich jetzt erst den entsprechenden Button auswählen, und kann dann mit dem großen Regler den Wert einstellen. Bei der Ausgangslautstärke muss ich dann erst den Lautsprecher auswählen und kann dann die Lautstärke regeln. Immerhin gibt es die direkte Anwahl fürs Muten/Dimmen; für die jeweilige Funktion muss man sich in der Universal Control entscheiden. Dies Herangehensweise spart wahrscheinlich Hardware und scheint im Trend zu liegen. Die Umgewöhnung ist aber nicht allzu umständlich.
Die Registrierung bei Presonus wollte nicht gelingen. Schließlich fand ich zufällig heraus, dass man sich bei Fender registrieren muss und die Registrierung auch für Presonus gilt. Da ich schon eine Fender Produkt registriert hatte, war das dann schnell erledigt. Danach habe ich versucht den QH2 bei Presonus zu registrieren und bekam immer wieder eine Fehlermeldung. Schließlich habe ich das Quantum HD auch so zum Laufen bekommen. Auf die angebotene Software kann ich wohl (erst einmal?) verzichten.
Aufnahme: Mit Line Level Inputs kommt das H2 gut zurecht. Klang SUPER! Die Mic Inputs habe ich nur kurz mal hochgefahren und war vom Rauschpegel bei voller Aussteuerung erschreckt. Bis etwas über 50 dB ist der Geräuschpegel erträglich. Wie sich das mit angeschlossenen Mikrophonen dann gestaltet, bleibt erst einmal abzuwarten.
Die vorderen Eingänge habe ich noch nicht zum Laufen bekommen und hoffe auf die dann erfolgreiche Registrierung und evtl. Firmware Update!?! Die Integration der Fader in der Universal Control funktioniert nur in eine Richtung. Das ist leider alles nicht zufriedenstellend und spiegelt sich erst einmal mit lediglich 2 Sternen in Puncto Bedienung wider.
Ich werde einige Aspekte vermissen, aber das Teil geht zurück
