Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (33 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. PreSonus DigiMax 96k Customer Review
Sound: I am amazed how great the preamps are in this box. And the limiters are definitely worth the extra money. Great value and sounds freaking killer too! Feature: I loved the EQ button on each channel. Definitely gives you another option tonally when you are tracking. Quality: Big and beefy feeling. Definitely smokes the Focusrite Octopre which feels a lot lighter plus its made in China whereas the Digimax is made in the USA. Value: It's the best eight channel preamp I've heard for the money. Manufacturer Support: Had to leave a message but they called me back promptly. I wish more companies were like this one.

"Great preamp, except for the digital outs!"
Sound: Good sound. The actual front end to the preamp is a TI INA163, which is top-notch. Unfortunately, noise performance is disappointing compared to the Focusrite octopre. Feature: The digital output is poorly designed. You can only get four channels onto the lightpipe-out at 96 kHz! The Focusrite is better at this. The pad feature is great and VERY well implemented in circuitry. The "enhance" feature is downright silly- the whole point of multitracking is that you don't HAVE to use EQ or (much) dymanics while recording. Quality: Well made. Presonus is great about repair and providing parts when necessary. Value: Good value. Manufacturer Support: Absolutely fantastic customer support. Overall: Very well designed; the preamp itself is nice and compact.
