1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The HS8 edition centers a home-recording setup on PreSonus’ Quantum ES2 and a Yamaha HS monitor pair. Two MAX-HD preamps provide 75dB of gain for microphone recording, while the front instrument input is designed for electric guitar and bass. Auto Gain takes care of recording-level adjustment. Studio One supplies a full DAW environment with virtual instruments and effects, and Universal Control enables gain and phantom-power changes from a mobile device or computer. Included stands and balanced TRS-XLR cables connect the monitoring system.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Home vocal and acoustic-instrument tracking where a two-channel interface and dedicated monitoring are wanted.

- Adjusting gain and phantom power from a computer or mobile device during sessions.
Consider the trade-offs
