PreSonus® AudioBox USB® 96 Studio Kit
AudioBox 96 Studio is a complete recording and production bundle. Get everything you need to start recording guitar (or anything else) in a single purchase! You get:
- The AudioBox 96 USB two-channel audio interface
- M7 condenser microphone
- HD7 headphones
- Studio One ArtistStudio Magic software suite
The heart of the AudioBox 96 Studio is PreSonus’ best-selling AudioBox USB® 96 interface, which captures your recordings in stellar studio quality. Its two front-mounted XLR 1/4" combo jacks let you connect a pair of mics for recording acoustic guitar or electric guitar cabinets. Alternatively, you can simply plug your electric guitars in directly and record direct, using Studio One Artist’s Ampire for world-class guitar amp and cab tones — and without your cranked Bassman angering your neighbors. And since there are two inputs, you and a friend can record guitar and bass or vocals and guitar simultaneously to separate tracks to mix later.
The M7 large-diaphragm condenser microphone is the perfect mic for capturing acoustic guitar or vocals. The crystal-clear HD7 headphones will help you avoid any mic feedback issues while recording with open mics, let you closely monitor your performance, as well as mix late into the night without bothering sleeping roommates or neighbors.
Finally, you get over $1000 USD of inspiring professional audio software — including Studio One Artist and the Studio Magic Suite, so your productions will be a step ahead from day one. It even includes all the cables required to hook it all up, so you’ll hit the ground running right out of the box and get your creative vision out into the world. With all the hardware and software you need, the AudioBox 96 Studio makes getting started recording and mixing fast and easy.
