PreSonus AudioBox USB Audio Recording Interface

PreSonus AudioBox USB

 2x2 USB recording system helps you capture your ideas wherever you are. The AudioBox USB is a USB bus-powered audio recording interface featuring 2 microphone/instrument inputs with 48V phantom power, 2 balanced TRS outputs, and MIDI in/out.

The AudioBox USB is bundled with PreSonus Studio One Artist, PreSonus's groundbreaking music creation program, and over 4 GB of virtual instruments, plug-ins, loops, and samples to get you started making music immediately.

PreSonus Audio has won numerous awards for designing the quality microphone preamplifiers for all price levels. The AudioBox USB is loaded with preamps that out perform any USB-based interface hands down. The preamplifiers in the AudioBox deliver high headroom, low noise and high gain giving you pure, full and rich sound. Most USB recording devices operate at 16-bit sample rate and use converters with dynamic range of less than 90dB. This translates into a pinched and relatively small sound. The AudioBox USB uses professional-grade analog to digital converters with dynamic range of 102dB and 24-bit sample rate so that the digital conversion is big, quiet and musical.

The AudioBox USB is USB bus-powered allowing you to take it anywhere inspiration hits. No wall warts line lumps or power cables. Just plug in to a powered USB port and you are ready to record. PreSonus AudioBox USB is also housed in an all-metal chassis with metal knobs ready to withstand the rigors of travel. Toss PreSonus AudioBox USB in your laptop bag and mobilize your music creation and production. Whether you want to record your shows mix on the plane or write songs in your hotel room the AudioBox is ready.

1 GB RAM (2 GB or more recommended)

Macintosh
Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later (10.5.2 or later or 10.6 recommended)
PowerPC G4 1.25 GHz or Intel Core Solo 1.5 GHz processor (2 GHz or faster recommended)
1 GB RAM (2 GB or more recommended)

Note that the speed of your processor, amount of RAM and size and speed of your hard drive will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system. Also, a more powerful system (faster processor with more RAM) will allow for lower latency (signal delay) that you might experience while monitoring audio or MIDI signals. Monitor resolution for both PC and Macintosh should be no lower than 1024x768 pixels.
