PreSonus releases AudioBox GO: Super-simple recording box

 

 

PreSonus has released AudioBox GO, its “lightest, smallest, most portable audio interface yet”

 

AudioBox Go is a super-simple audio interface that promises to give you everything you need to start recording.

 

This 2-in/2-out, 24-bit/96kHz device comes with a PreSonus XMAX-L preamp that offers 50dB of gain and +48v phantom power. In addition, this comes on a combo jack that gives you a line-level input for synths, drum machines and the like, and there is a second dedicated instrument input for electric and bass guitars.

 

Other features includes balanced 1/4-inch outputs on the rear, and a headphones output on the front that comes with its own level control. A mix control is included for monitoring purposes, and there are also gain controls for the two inputs and a main output control.

 

 

The AudioBox Go has a USB-C connector and is compatible with PC, Mac, iOS and Android devices. It comes with a licence for PreSonus’s Studio One Prime DAW and Studio Magic software suite, which contains virtual instruments, effects plugins and more.

 

AudioBox GO is available now priced at $80.
