2 Hookup

2.1 Front Panel Connections and Controls StudioLive™ Software

Library Reference Manual

2Hookup

2.1 Front Panel Connections and Controls

About XMAX Preamps and Combo Jacks. Your Quantum 2626 interface is

equipped with 8 PreSonus XMAX microphone preampliﬁers for use with all types

of microphones. The XMAX design provides a Class A input buﬀer, followed by a

dual-servo gain stage. This arrangement results in ultra-low noise and wide gain

control, allowing you to boost signals without increasing noise. The Quantum

2626 provides two Mic/Inst inputs and six Mic/Line inputs on the front panel.

Each analog input on the Quantum 2626 interface features a combo jack. This

convenient connector accepts either a ¼-inch phone plug or an XLR plug.

Microphone/Instrument inputs. The ¼-inch TS connectors on Channels 1

and 2 are for use with instruments (guitar, bass, etc.). When an instrument

is plugged into the instrument input, the mic preamp is bypassed,

and the signal is routed to the instrument preampliﬁer stage.

Microphone/Line inputs. The ¼-inch TRS connectors on Channels 3 through

8 are for use with line-level sources (synths, keyboards, eﬀects processors,

etc.). When a devilce is plugged into the Line input, the mic preamp is

bypassed, and the signal is routed to the instrument preampliﬁer stage.

Please note: As with any audio input device, plugging in a microphone or an instrument,

or turning phantom power on or oﬀ will create a momentary spike in the audio output of

your Quantum 2626 interface. Because of this, we highly recommend that you turn down

the channel trim before changing connections or turning phantom power on or oﬀ. This

simple step will add years to life of your audio equipment.

Preamp Gain: Use this control to adjust the level of the

microphone preamps for each Channel.

•48V: The Quantum 2626 interfaces provide 48V phantom power

in two banks of four microphone preamps. When 48V is active, the

blue LED at the top of that channel’s meters will illuminate.

Warning: Phantom power is only required for condenser microphones and

can severely damage unbalanced dynamic mics, especially ribbon mics.

Therefore, switch phantom power oﬀ for all channels where it is not required.

XLR connector wiring for phantom power:

Pin 1 = GND Pin 2 = +48V Pin 3 = +48V

Main. The Main knob can control any or all of the outputs on the rear panel of your

Quantum 2626 and has a range of -80 dB to 0 dB. In addition to level control, the

main outputs have the following controls:

2 Hookup

2.2 Back Panel Connections StudioLive™ Software

Library Reference Manual

Headphones. Your Quantum 2626 interface provides two

headphone outputs, each with its own level control. Both

headphone outputs share a stream with the Main Outputs.

Sync light. This light is the clock source / sync indicator. It lets

you know if you unit is receiving word clock correctly.

•Blue. When this light is blue, your Quantum 2626 is correctly

synced via Thunderbolt, word clock, ADAT, or S/PDIF

•Flashing red and blue. Quantum 2626 is in the process

of trying to sync to a received clock signal.

•Red. Quantum 2626 is either not synced to your computer

or its external clock source is not present.

•Flashing purple. The identify button is active in UC Surface.

Power User Tip: Word clock is the timing signal with which digital devices sync frame

rates. Proper word clock sync prevents digital devices from having pops, clicks, and

distortion in the audio signal due to mismatched digital audio transmission. In

general, you will use your Quantum 2626 interface as the master clock in your studio;

it provides high-quality word clock for this purpose. However, if you would like to use

another device as the master clock, you can set the input source for clocking in UC

Surface. See Section 4.1 for details.

2.2 Back Panel Connections

Line Outputs. Quantum 2626 interfaces have 8 TRS Balanced Line Outputs

to route to external devices, such as headphone amps, signal processors,

and additional monitors. Each output has an independent playback stream.

Every line output is DC coupled to provide control voltage to external analog

equipment. This feature can be used with any plug-in that supports it.

Main Outs. These are the main outputs for Quantum 2626. The output level of

the Main Outputs is controlled by the Main level control on the front of the unit.

Like the eight line outputs, the main outputs are sourced from playback streams

1 and 2. Both Main Outputs are DC coupled to provide control voltage to external

analog equipment. This feature can be used with any plug-in that supports it.

Preamp Outs and Line Returns. These line-level connections for channels 1 and

2 allow you to insert outboard hardware like compressors and EQs into the signal

chain.

Line Returns are normalled to the channel 1 and 2 preamp outputs, so they take

precedence over the corresponding Mic/Inst input on the front of the Quantum 2626.

Power user tip: the Line Returns can also be used to input line-level devices that have

their own volume control; synths, channel strips, preamps, etc.

2 Hookup

2.2 Back Panel Connections StudioLive™ Software

Library Reference Manual

Word Clock In and Out. These BNC connections allow Quantum 2626 to

receive and transmit word clock to and from other digital audio devices.

Power User Tip: In UC Surface, when using the BNC Clock input, you will need to set “BNC”

as the Clock Source and set the sample rate to correspond to that of the external device.

See Section 4.1 for details. A 75Ω BNC word clock cable is required to achieve proper sync.

S/PDIF In and Out. The S/PDIF connections allow two channels of audio to be

transmitted and received at rates up to 24-bit, 96 kHz. The S/PDIF I/O also allows all

Quantum 2626 interfaces to send and receive word clock to external digital devices.

Power User Tip: In UC Surface, you will need to set “S/PDIF” as the Clock Source and the

sample rate to correspond to the external device when using an external S/PDIF device as

your master clock. See Section 4.1 for details.

ADAT – S/MUX In and Out. These are the ADAT – Dual S/MUX connections

for your external digital devices. When recording or playing back at 44.1

or 48 kHz, each ADAT I/O will provide 8 of the 16 available channels

consecutively, from left to right. When recording or playing back at 88.2 or

96 kHz, each connection will provide four of the available eight channels.

These inputs and outputs do not function at 176.4 or 192 kHz:

ADAT 1 Input ADAT 2 Input ADAT 1 Output ADAT 2 Output

44.1 / 48 kHz Channels 11-18 / 7-14 Channels 19-26 / 15-22 Channels 17-24 / 9-16 Channels 25-32 / 17-24

88.2 / 96 kHz Channels 11-14 / 7-10 Channels 15-18 / 11-14 Channels 17-20 / 9-12 Channels 21-24 / 13-16

When connecting a DigiMax DP88 to your Quantum interface, the ADAT

connections will also send and receive preamp control information for the DigiMax

DP88, so that it can be controlled directly from UC Surface or Studio One.

Power User Tip: In UC Surface, you will need to set “ADAT 1” as the Clock Source and the

sample rate to correspond to the external device when using an external ADAT device as

your master clock. See Section 4.1 for details. The ADAT 2 input cannot be used to receive

word clock.

Thunderbolt port. Use this port to connect your Quantum 2626 interface to

your computer.

Note: If your computer has Thunderbolt 2 ports, you’ll need a bi-directional Thunderbolt

3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter.

MIDI I/O. These are the MIDI input and output connections. MIDI stands for

“Musical Instrument Digital Interface.”However, MIDI can be used for many things

other than instruments and sequencing. The MIDI inputs and outputs allow

connection to a variety of MIDI-equipped hardware, such as keyboard controllers,

and can be used to send and receive MIDI Machine Control and MIDI Time Code.

Note: MIDI does not carry audio signals but is frequently used to trigger or control an

audio source, such as a virtual instrument or hardware synthesizer. You should ensure

that MIDI data is correctly sent and received by the appropriate hardware or software.

You may also need to route hardware sound sources’ audio to the inputs of your

Quantum 2626 interface. Please consult the User’s Manual of your MIDI devices for

help with MIDI setup and usage.

Power Button. This turns your Quantum 2626 on and oﬀ.

Power Connection. This is where you connect the Quantum 2626 interface’s

external power supply. Your Quantum interface is equipped with a twist-lock power

connection, keep this in mind when connecting disconnecting it from your interface.
