As it always happens with these designs, PreSonus was seeking a portable solution for musicians and producers seeking an easy and accessible way to start their journey in home music recording or content creation. But the PreSonus AudioBox GO interface is basically ideal for anyone that just needs to combine a microphone with a line level input in a USB-powered device that can power virtually any streaming and recording needs. And by featuring large potentiometers to control the required input gains, levels and monitor mix, it becomes also one of the easiest "hands-on" solutions for dealing with computer audio in general.
The AudioBox GO connects via USB-C directly to Apple and Android mobile devices, as well as desktop and laptop computers, and is class-compliant, requiring no drivers or special applications. The compact device allows recording at up to 24-bit, 96kHz resolution for professional results. The combo mic/line combo input can be used to connect microphones or synths and features PreSonus’ proprietary XMAX-L preamp design, optimized for bus power. A second instrument input is provided to track guitar or bass simultaneously. In addition, a pair of balanced TRS, 1/4-inch outputs feeds studio monitors, and a high-powered headphone output provides performance monitoring at zero-latency.
The new PreSonus AudioBox GO includes a license for PreSonus’ Studio One Prime recording software for macOS and Windows and the Studio Magic software suite, an impressive collection of virtual instruments, effects plug-ins and more. It also is compatible with virtually every recording application for macOS, Windows, iOS, iPadOS and Android, including PreSonus’ 32-track Capture for iPad and free 2-track Capture Duo (for iPad).
The AudioBox GO is available now for $79.95 USD.
