Presonus Quantum series compatibility

[Ian Rae]

Does anyone know if the Presonus Quantum series audio interfaces can operate via a USB-3 port, or whether a Thunderbolt-enabled connection is necessary.

Thanks

Ian,

This is what the spec sheet from Presonus says

Computer system requirements:
Below are the minimum computer-system requirements for the Quantum 2626 Interface.

Windows®
Windows 10 (64-bit only)
Intel® i5 processor or better
4 GB RAM (8 GB or more recommended)
Mac®
macOS® 10.13 or higher (64-bit only)
Intel i5 processor or better (Apple Silicon M1 support requires Universal Control 3.4.2 or later)
​4 GB RAM (8 GB or more recommended)
Mac and Windows Systems
Thunderboltâ„¢ 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0 port (NOTE: Your computer's motherboard must support Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt 1 and 2 require an adapter, not included.)
Internet connection (required for Studio One® activation and content download)
Internal or external 7200 RPM storage drive highly recommended
30 GB hard disk space
Monitor with 1366x768 resolution

It appears that Thunderbolt is the only way to go.

Hope this helps..

It does. Many thanks.
