is the Quantum 4848 discontinued??

It still shows up on the website, but so do some of their other stuff that's discontinued. Not talking down, but it seems like Presonus has a laundry list of interfaces that have been discontinued.

What's the scoop on the 4848? It seriously seems like a "too good to be true" interface that sounds great and at an incredible price point, which makes me wonder why they would discontinue it. So is that the case?

Got ya! That's unfortunate! It seems like such a great unit, so it strikes me odd as to why they would discontinue something so feature rich that sounds great.

Yeah, that's too bad, do you think that it will be the same for all the thunderbolt interfaces ?

It's a real bummer that they have discontinued the Quantum 4848. Seems like they are not listening to their customer base?! We want the 4848 back or a new version with 32 I/O. How hard is that? You had the market cornered. Now what? The 2626 and 2632 are only 8 i/o. Not so good. I have been a presonus user for a long time. Please don't leave your customer base 😢 🙏
I know you can hook multiple 2632 together. But why when you had one box to do it all?!!

Same. Just picked up a used quantum 2 and a ferrofish pulse 16 to aggregate with my quantum and DP88 but begged their social guy for any info on upcoming gear before I purchased. I hate that they cancelled it. It seemed…perfect?

I wanted to ask sooner, but I figured I’d wait until after NAMM. Any grapevine talk of a successor to this unit? There aren’t any available even in the common 2nd hand spots…

Presonus Sphere, Quantum 2626, Alesis Ai3, Faderport 16, Dangerous 2Bus+, M1 Mac Mini, Custom built PC, Maschine MK3, Maschine Jam, various outboard Klark, Art, 500 series. Synths, samplers etc

I'd also love to hear if there are any new releases planned. Is the Quantum 2626 the latest to get? I'm on to buy a new audio interface :) Thank you.

Have three quantums and missed the boat on the 4848. Need to update my i/o and so I emailed and I asked if there was anything, anything at all they could tell me about upcoming products or plans. They said no. I asked a few months later. They said no. I waited some more. I asked a third time and when they said no, I gave my quantums to friends and bought two Metric Halo Lio-8mkIVs. Bummed me out to leave but I gotta do what I gotta do.
