Pros
Many people compare the Studio 24c with a certain “red” model interface and they note that the PreSonus Studio 24c felt like a definite upgrade in both sound, stability and build quality. The added MIDI at this tier was also praised.
Cons
Direct monitor was noted to be only in mono. The headphone out was also noted to be low gain, an advantage the “red” interface has over it.
Overall
If your priority is getting a portable, high resolution audio interface while on a budget, the PreSonus Studio24c is a great pick.
