The PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 USB-B Audio/MIDI Interface is a reliable solution for musicians, podcasters, singers, and producers who need a portable and affordable way to record audio at home or on the go. This 2x2 USB audio interface features Class-A mic preamps with phantom power, MIDI I/O, and a sturdy steel chassis that is conveniently bus powered.

Additionally, if you have MIDI gear like a keyboard controller, synthesiser, or drum machine, you can seamlessly integrate them into your production setup using the interface's 5-pin MIDI ports.
To sweeten the deal, the AudioBox USB 96 comes bundled with Studio One Artist DAW software for both Mac and Windows. This powerful software gives you everything you need to record, edit, and mix your audio projects. Additionally, the interface includes the Studio Magic plug-in suite, which offers a wide range of effects, virtual instruments, and third-party loops, software, and instrument sounds.
Overall, the PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 is a versatile and budget-friendly solution for anyone looking to enhance their audio recording capabilities. Its solid build, impressive features, and included software make it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced professionals.
