Gearank Recommended

The Studio 68c appeared on our recommended list for iPad Compatible USB Audio Interfaces from September 2021 until August 2022 when we imposed a price limit of $200 on that category which made this interface ineligible.

It's first appearance on one of our recommended lists was for USB Audio Interfaces in October 2020 where it has remained ever since.

Overview

The PreSonus Studio 68c features 4 specially designed XMAX preamps with high headroom with a pleasant harmonic character when pushed.

LED gain indicators let you get the right amount of gain for transparency or color.

An S/PDIF out adds more connectivity options.
