PreSonus AudioBox GO USB-C Audio Interface

The PreSonus AudioBox GO is an ultra-compact and affordable USB-C audio interface designed for musicians, podcasters, and content creators on the go. It’s an excellent choice for those who need a simple and effective way to record high-quality audio with a laptop, smartphone, or tablet.

Key Features and Highlights:

• Ultra-Compact and Portable: The most notable feature of the AudioBox GO is its size. It’s designed to be small enough to fit in your pocket or a guitar case, making it an ideal tool for recording anywhere inspiration strikes. It is bus-powered, meaning it draws all the power it needs from the USB-C connection, so you don’t need a separate power supply.
• High-Quality Preamps: The interface is equipped with a PreSonus XMAX-L Class-A mic preamp. This is a scaled-down version of the preamps found in PreSonus’s acclaimed StudioLive mixers, providing clean, low-noise audio with up to 50 dB of gain.
• Flexible Inputs: Despite its small size, it offers two inputs:
  • Combo XLR-1/4″ Input: This input can be used for either a microphone (with switchable 48V phantom power) or a line-level source, such as a keyboard or drum machine.
  • Dedicated 1/4″ Instrument Input: A separate input is provided for directly connecting an electric guitar or bass.
• High-Resolution Audio: The AudioBox GO is capable of recording at up to 24-bit/96 kHz resolution, which is the standard for professional audio production and provides excellent clarity and detail.
• Zero-Latency Monitoring: The front-panel “Mix” knob is a crucial feature. It allows you to blend the live input signal with the playback from your computer, so you can monitor your performance with absolutely no distracting delay.
• Comprehensive Software Bundle: The interface comes with a generous software suite that adds significant value. This includes a free license for PreSonus Studio One Prime, a powerful and user-friendly digital audio workstation (DAW), along with the Studio Magic Software Suite, which contains a wide range of plugins, virtual instruments, and sound samples.
