Question

I ask this question before buying the presonus 16R because from what I experienced once I connected an usb 2.0 audio interface from Steinberg to my pc with usb3.0 ( it was bus powered / my pc is a intel hades canyon with only usb 3.0 and it can’t be upgrade with usb 2.0 pci espress) anyway the audio interface did make a strange noise and lots of glitches... I'd like to know if any of you have tried the connection with usb 3.0 and if it works smoothly... thank you so much

Answer 1

Always a good place to find information: "Technical Articles" in the PreSonus web site. Here are two about connectors and connections:

Answer 2

My PC has only USB 3.0 inputs and it is working fine (after all routing was set properly).  My unit is a RML 16AI so YMMV.
