PreSonus is one of the best brands on the market – perhaps even the very best – for technological products in the music world, such as an audio mixer. The company was founded in 1995 from the need to develop music technology. There was a demand that was not yet being met, not only for our own needs, but also for serving the consumer. PreSonus is located in the musical center of the United States, in beautiful Baton Rouge, where making music is at the heart of the culture and flows through the veins of the locals. Music is part of everyday life. And whether it concerns an audio mixer for recording music in a small studio, or providing the sound in a large church during a service, it must all function properly and have perfect sound quality.
Passion, knowledge and experience form the basis for the best technological music products
PreSonus employs people with a passion for music and sound. It is not without reason that their slogan is 'Music is our life. PreSonus is our day job.' With an audio mixer – or any other PreSonus product such as a sound card or recording system – you feel that you are working with something that has undergone a period of development. They have carefully considered the functionality, capacity and ease of use. All PreSonus products are user-friendly and in no time you will have your set-up set up so that you can get started with your music. That is the power of good audio equipment.
The various options with an audio mixer
Whatever you want to achieve, whether it concerns live recordings, making remixes or performing sound checks, with the audio mixer options that PreSonus offers you can specifically add a new device to your audio set-up. Whether you need a new rack mixer, want to replace your old monitor mixer, add a stage box or test a new digital mixer; it's all possible. Many PreSonus equipment can be used with all operating systems. This means it can be connected to the software you have installed on your Mac, but you can also just use the old, familiar Windows. Even Android is a possibility. And if you have an iPad or iPod, that's no problem.
Characteristics of good quality audio equipment
When analyzing your needs, you should look at a number of components that determine the order for you. Consider the number and type of inputs and outputs of your audio mixer, such as XLR, jack mono or jack stereo and USB. Is there Bluetooth functionality available? And what amount of impedance do you prefer? Do you like to use a foot pedal during your recordings? These are all variables that are important. In addition, you want a product that will last a long time, so the housing that surrounds it is also relevant. You prefer a steel housing, which can withstand a blow and is durable. After collecting all your product and user requirements, the ideal product will automatically emerge. Your order will then be placed in no time.
Other attributes for your audio set-up
To complete your set-up and not be irritated by the many audio cables you have to deal with, there are attributes such as Cable keepers (or cable holders) from Crane. With the Crane Hardware LED wire keepers you can attach various cables to your platform or holder. This keeps all your cables well organized and prevents cable spaghetti. Not only that, but the LED light allows you to shine targeted light on your audio mixer. The light can shine continuously or have a stroboscopic effect. It's amazing how such a small cable holder brightens up your work area. You can really just work at it. Another attribute of Crane Hardware is the Tablet Mount. With this Tablet Mount you can attach a tablet or phone firmly and safely to your table. The height of the tablet holder makes working clear and pleasant. It's a handy addition to your collection of audio equipment and supplies.
Free software supplied with PreSonus
You will also immediately receive the correct software with the audio mixer you ordered. So you don't have to purchase separate audio software, unless you prefer something else or already have software that you like to work with. This means you can get started immediately after installing the supplied software and laying all the cables. It's almost plug & play. That makes a PreSonus product really user-friendly. You don't have to study a thick manual to get started. The program is actually self-explanatory. Especially if you already have some experience, you will have no trouble getting started.
