The AudioBox USB recording system combines acclaimed USB functionality with high-performance digital recording. Featuring a 44.1/48 kHz sampling rate and included 48V phantom power, users can connect their preferred condenser microphones and enjoy pristine audio capture and output. The AudioBox USBs two dual-purpose inputs provide a degree of flexibility that is priceless for home and project studio owners.
Simple, Convenient, Reliable, and Portable
If you are a mobile musician or podcaster on a tight budget who relies mostly on software except for a couple of mics or instruments, and your computer is equipped with USB but not FireWire, we have just the recording interface for you: the AudioBox USB.
This simple, handy little box connects to a computer via USB 1.1, so it works with virtually any PC or Mac, not just newer models. And it has just the right features for your basic recording needsneither more nor less.
The AudioBox USB may be small and simple, but it boasts PreSonus quality inside and out. It offers excellent audio performance, thanks to two dual-purpose front-panel mic/instrument inputs with sweet-sounding Class A mic preamplifiers and professional-quality, 24-bit converters that sample at up to 48 kHz.
You get a pair of line-level outputs and an ultra-loud, crystal-clear headphone output. MIDI In and Out ports ensure that you can use control surfaces and keyboards without requiring a separate MIDI interface.
This is a mobile interface in the best sense of the term. It weighs just 5 pounds and can sit on a tabletop or can be mounted in 1/3 of a rackspace. Its powered by the USB bus, so you dont have to mess with a wall wart power supply or AC cord. And its built to withstand the rigors of travel.
So toss the AudioBox USB in your laptop bag and take it to your gig, to your hotel room, even to the beach (but be careful about sun and sand!). Wherever your travels take you, your AudioBox USB will be ready to perform.
The Finishing Touches
We could have stopped right there, but its not our way to stop when we can give you even more for your money. So we included an internal analog mixer with zero-latency monitoring, enabling you to monitor recorded tracks and overdubs with no annoying delay time.
Then we added the finishing touch by bundling a free copy of our amazing Studio One® Artist DAW software for Mac and Windows. For more information on Studio One,
