PreSonus ES 2 Teardown - Just a repackaged AudioBox?!? 😮‍💨

[@IntheDAW]

Presonus has really been doing great since the series 3 consoles and the thunderbolt 3 quantums and newer

[@Smecerul08]

that dac looks good. that JRC4580 the entire i/v stage? what would you think about changing the opamps?

[@mavhunter4053]

I own several presonus products, and they all work superb. I had the original audiobox and I changed it for a studio 1810c for those xmax preamps and dang that thing is good!! Its got the same preamps I believe as my Studiolive 16R console and it sounds phenomenal. Didnt knew about the the eris situation and was about to pull the trigger on a pair but didnt liked the price bump. Although I think Ill have to sooner than later because im using a pair of Mackies and they are starting to fail on me. Nice video btw

Thank you for getting into the nitty gritty details. Definitely shows how much work/thought they put into this interface. I personally have an ES2, and for the price I have been very pleased. Not only is it very user friendly, but it has very low latency for recording. Usually you don't get something like that out of an interface this cheap. I run FL Studio on a PC, but I recently purchased a MacBook Pro, so I'm going to see how it does on it as well.

@@kaseywarren2106 Thanks for the message Kasey, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Let us know how you get on with your new computer setup with it!

[@soundbelch1600]

That's good to know re. latency. Going by the figures in Julian Krause's review of the ES2, it does feel that Presonus have stepped up the driver software and are getting some very decent results.

Hope everyone's Monday is off to a good start. Let me know if you had any interesting gigs over the weekend. Thanks for stopping by!

I had 10 channels in 2 monitors mixes for 6 musicians, i think we got feedback once thank god...but a sick 10 piece funk band. Nothing too crazy interesting.

[@DcSoundOp]

@@ClarkAfterDark1111 Nice, funk bands are always a ton of fun. Glad you had a good gig, thanks for the message!

I have no issue with companies rehousing as long as the pricing is equal to what the product has to offer. Sometimes as a company, a product is already good but you want to make it fit into a line of products better. No shame in that.

[@uhu4677]

Just got the interface. Is it normal for the control knob to feel a bit loose and make rattling noise, when you move it left/right?

[@annebokma4637]

They only have to make one change to have a new product. The name. Totally legal

[@NickG6489]

In which feeding a troll produces a very nice video.

[@DcSoundOp]

@@NickG6489 🤣 I can never tell if people are trolling 😐

[@NickG6489]

@@DcSoundOp OH I get that! But to me, that was a troll simply because he didn't account for the sample rate difference. It's highly possible he simply didn't understand, but then why the assertion intending to provoke rather than a more questioning tone? That's why I think that was a troll.

[@TicTacSync]

why don't they slap a SD card in there? + with a USB-C PD power bank = nice field recorder! want an UI? WIFI plus mobile app

[@tim_shipp]

The audiobox inputs are trash as far as the gain goes. Its bad.

[@tim_shipp]

I love the super nerdy struff.

[@guesswork]

The comment as a whole is idiotic. The only thing the same with all of the Presonus interfaces is the I/O on some and certain knobs. They all use different pre- amps, different components, different power and have different levels of software control. This isn't even the first Presonus interface line to have loopback. Honestly, judging am interface on knobs or whatever size and shape is like saying all headphones are the same because they look similar. It's just dumb.
