The AudioBox USB is a USB bus-powered audio recording interface featuring 2 microphone/instrument inputs with 48V phantom power, 2 balanced TRS outputs, MIDI in/out along with Steinberg's Cubase LE 4 48-track recording and production software giving you everything needed to get started recording and producing your music.
Pedigree PreamplifiersPreSonus Audio has won numerous awards for designing the highest quality microphone preamplifiers in the industry at 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.
Professional 24-bit convertersMost 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.
USB bus-poweredThe 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.

Not great.All my reviews (47)April 22, 2012

Review by BenThis is the first device from Presonus that I've used and didn't care for. It seems to work OK but:
1.) To get audio to play smoothly without pops and clicks, you need it on very high latency settings. This is with a Core i5 2500K and Win7 x64. Maybe it's better on the Mac. For Pro Tools 10 you need the very highest settings or nothing plays at all. For other software, you're still using a 512 sample latency. My M-Audio Fast Track Pro runs at 128 samples of latency, so it's not the PC.
2.) There's a low rumble present all the time at around -70db, even with no microphone plugged in. This can really ruin recordings.
3.) As you click your mouse or scroll along the timeline of your DAW, you'll hear a low-frequency thump. This even happens if you're not using an audio app. Scrolling in Google Chrome sounds like a zipper in my monitors.
I really truly hate this thing. Studio One Artist is the one saving grace, as it's easy to use. Even then, no 3rd-party plugin support, but the upgrade to Pro with more content and ReWire is $100 well-spent. I like S1 and I love my 44VSL which is why I got the AudioBox as a second interface.
Yes, I recommend this product. Was this helpful?
