The 2 combo mic/line/instruments on the front panel and the 2 mic/line preamps on the back panel have XMAX technology. Besides the main L/R output, there is a pair of balanced line-level outputs that can be used for monitor mixing or different speaker listening. Ideal for DJs and/or listening to a performance artist's monitor mix, the Cue mix A/B function allows you to switch between two different mixes while listening through headphones. Finally, you can connect to all your MIDI devices thanks to the MIDI input/output on it, and you can send audio signals to external devices digitally losslessly thanks to the S/PDIF digital input/output. Studio 6|8 comes with PreSonus' award-winning Studio One Artist software that lets you record instantly.
Included with the Studio 68c is the $75 advanced DAW software Studio One Artist (latest version) the Studio Magic Plug-In suite with €1000 worth of software and Ableton Live Lite.
