stereo out of what? do you mean the inputs on the presonus? because output to output is never going to work.
i'm not trying to be pedantic here, but you've really got to pay attention to the jacks you are using, and especially when asking for help here, you've got to explain correctly what you are doing. it makes me think that you could be making a simple mistake by accidentally plugging the wrong thing into the wrong place.

ok this could be the problem. that 1/4" output is actually probably a stereo headphone out. if you are plugging that into the mono REC IN, you could be having some phase cancellation...this is what walmartian is getting at too i believe. can you just try 1 of the preamp rca outs to the rec in and see if that fixes it - use an adapter if you have to.

you should definitely try this because then it would rule out the mpc being broken.
