PreSonus AudioBox 96 USB is bus-powered and built to travel, making recording easy. This simple, handy little recording interface offers two front-panel combo mic/instrument inputs – ideal for singer/songwriters, podcasters, and guitar or guitar-bass collaborations. Simply connect a couple of mics and you have an easy-to-use stereo recording system.
The AudioBox USB 96 is also the centerpiece of PreSonus’ new AudioBox 96 Studio recording kit. It’s easy to start a home or mobile studio with this special all-PreSonus system, which combines an AudioBox USB 96 interface with Studio One Artist software, Studio Magic Plug-in Suite, monitoring headphones, a large-diaphragm condenser microphone, and all necessary cables. It’s great for multitrack song production, demos, songwriting, capturing live performances, podcasting, and field recording for video or sound effects.
