PreSonus DigiMax 96k Customer Review

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
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!
Features
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.
