PreSonus · Mid-size · USB · From c.2019
The 26c takes the 24c's two XMAX-L combo inputs and adds a second pair of outputs, so monitors can run from 1/2 while 3/4 feeds a headphone amp or a second set of speakers. A Cue A/B button flips the rear headphone jack between those two mixes, which is why PreSonus pitched it at DJs and electronic musicians. The gain range is wider than the 24c's, at 70 dB, and it keeps MIDI in and out and runs on USB bus power. The manual dates from 2019, and it replaced the silver Studio 2|6, which had a USB-B port. PreSonus no longer sells it new, but Universal Control still supports it. Pick it over a 24c if you want the extra outputs or need more gain for a quiet dynamic mic.
In the photos
The 26c is black with blue end caps and STUDIO 26c on the front, and its meter window has four lit buttons around it, 48V, Line, Mon and A/B, which the 24c doesn't have. Around the back there are four 1/4-inch outputs, Line Out 3/4 and Main Out. The earlier Studio 2|6 USB has the same layout in silver with blue knobs, and a square USB-B port where the 26c has USB-C.
Mac and Windows
It's class compliant on Mac and iPad, and PreSonus has supported it on Apple Silicon Macs since Universal Control 3.4.2 in March 2021. Windows needs the ASIO driver in Fender Universal Control, whose 5.1 release (July 2026) names the Studio 26c and supports Windows 10 22H2, Windows 11 24H2 and macOS 13.7.8 or later. PreSonus no longer sells it new, but its macOS 27 page (October 2026) still lists it as supported.
Power, cables and licences
Check the listing photos against this list, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. A missing power supply or a licence that won’t transfer should come off the price.
We didn't find a widely reported 26c fault in PreSonus's support notes or reviews. Test what wears on any used interface, the gain knobs, the 48V switch, the rear headphone jack and the USB-C socket.

Buying guide
We'd buy the 26c at $128 delivered from a 100% seller, pictured with its retail box. Only 6 are for sale on eBay US today and most ask $110–150 delivered, and PreSonus no longer sells it new, so that's the whole market. Three of the six show only the box, so ask for photos of the unit itself, with a black front, STUDIO 26c and four lit buttons around the meters, since silver with blue knobs is the older Studio 2|6 with a USB-B port. Ask for outputs 3/4 and the headphone A/B switch to be tested, and don't count on any Studio One licence, which Fender says can't be transferred. Skip the $57 one from an 88.5% seller, whose photo shows a silver Studio 2|6.
