Frequently Asked Questions
The XMAX preamps have a generous headroom and clean gain staging, handling hot signals exceptionally well without excessive noise or distortion.
No, the FLEX FX processor is entirely internal; it doesn’t offer external effects sends or returns.
AVB requires compatible network switches and devices; while Presonus provides resources, setup can be more involved than standard Ethernet audio networking.
