professional audio tools and flexible monitoring controls. Before connecting to a
computer, please visit www.presonus.com to verify the latest system requirements.
Note:
The speed of your processor, amount of RAM, and capacity, size, and speed of your
hard drives will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system. A faster
processor and more RAM can reduce signal latency (delay) and improve overall
performance.

Windows are available for download from your My PreSonus user account.
To begin, you must first visit
, create or log into your
user account, and register your Studio-series interface. Once registered, all

Universal Control (Windows)
Universal Control is a powerful hardware-management application for all PreSonus
interface products. It allows you to view any PreSonus interface product connected
to your computer or your computer’s network.
When Universal Control is launched, you will see the Launch window.
From this window, you can manage all the ASIO driver settings.
Sample Rate. Changes the sample rate.
You can set the sample rate to 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, or 192 kHz. A higher
sample rate will increase the fidelity of the recording but will increase the file
size and the amount of system resources necessary to process the audio.
