The New Compact Benchmark in the Quantum HD Series
Designed as the heart of a modern studio, the Quantum HD 2 condenses the DNA of the Quantum series into a robust and portable desktop format. It combines next-generation MAX-HD preamps and 32-bit/192 kHz conversion while offering features previously reserved for racks: Re-Amp outputs, monitor A/B switching, and internal loopback for streaming.
For Creators, Musicians, and Mobile Engineers
Whether you're recording vocals, reamping a guitar DI, producing a podcast, or broadcasting live, the Quantum HD 2 offers a smooth workflow: direct zero-latency monitoring, A/B speaker management to validate your mixes, and internal loopback for tutorials, interviews, or re-recording. Its digital connectivity opens it up to multichannel and hybrid setups, both in the home studio and on the go.
Features Designed to Speed Up Your Workflow
MAX-HD Preamplification and Automatic Gain
The two mic/line/instrument preamps provide wide headroom and up to 75 dB gain with 48 V phantom power. The automatic gain function instantly sets the optimal level according to the source to capture dynamics without clipping.
High-End Conversion and Responsive Drivers
The 32-bit/192 kHz conversion preserves transients and micro-dynamics, while ultra-low latency drivers ensure natural monitoring during recording and overdubbing.
Intelligent Routing and Monitoring
The high-resolution color screen clearly displays inputs and outputs. A/B speaker switching facilitates mixing decisions, and the loopback function simplifies streaming, tutorials, and internal audio capture.
Extended Connectivity and Creative Re-Amping
With its ADAT and S/PDIF I/O, dedicated Re-Amp outputs, line outputs, and headphone output, the Quantum HD 2 covers multichannel tracking, re-amping via pedals/amps, and integration into a hybrid setup.
Deep Integration with Studio One and Universal Control
Control gain, 48 V phantom power, and routing from Studio One or the Universal Control app. The included "Studio One+" offer for 12 months with access to Studio One Professional and a perpetual license provides a complete environment for producing, mixing, and mastering.
