What reviewers say about the Studio 24c
Only one whitelisted hands-on review of this exact model survived verification (MusicRadar, Sept 2023). It calls the Studio 24c a hard-to-beat sub-$100/£100 2-in/2-out interface with clean, high-headroom PreSonus mic and instrument preamps, full MIDI I/O and streamer-friendly Loopback routing, docking it only for closely-spaced controls and a rear-mounted headphone jack. The review is qualitative with no published lab measurements (latency, dynamic range, THD).

The PreSonus Studio 24c has everything the hobby studio could need, from high-quality audio to full MIDI I/O. For the price, it's hard to beat.
Two high-quality PreSonus mic preamps mean vocals and speech applications come through with plenty of clean headroom, perfect for editing inside your software.
I also found there being five rotary knobs and the 48v phantom power button being so closely located a bit of a drag, especially with my sausage fingers.
