PreSonus | Quantum 2626 | 26×26 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface PreSonus

With a barely measurable round-trip latency of less than 1ms (dependent on computer hardware), it’s no wonder Sound on Sound magazine dubbed Quantum-series Thunderbolt™ audio interfaces the “fastest audio interfaces on the planet.” Superb high-definition digital conversion and the ultra-transparent analog XMAX mic preamp design mean that your audio will always sound its best—whether you’re recording with or without your favourite plug-ins engaged in real-time.
