The Presonus AudioBox GO is a powerful and compact USB-powered 2x2 audio interface. The most portable interface within the AudioBox range, the AudioBox GO is designed for musicians and producers on the go. Compatible with typical laptop or desktop setups as well as Android and iOS devices, you have the flexibility to record wherever you may be when inspiration strikes. The class-compliant USB-C connection allows you to dive into recording without tedious setups or driver installations and even means you don't need an additional power supply to get up and running.
 
Don't let the size fool you, the AudioBox GO features a combination input that runs into a professional, studio-grade XMAX-L preamp to record and capture your instrument or voice in stunning definition and clarity. This convenient combo input lets you connect your favourite condenser microphone, thanks to the onboard phantom power, or a line-level source such as a drum machine or keyboard. Additionally, a dedicated instrument input lets you record vocals and your instrument simultaneously for complete flexibility.
 
Ideal for studios where space is a priority, the AudioBox GO comes included with a slew of premium software tools to help you take your song from concept to completion. Coming included with a licence for Studio One Prime DAW and Studio Magic Suite, you have access to over 1000 in plug-ins, content and tuition completely free. Start your musical journey without restrictions with the AudioBox GO.
In typical Presonus fashion, the AudioBox GO delivers stunning audio quality in a compact package. Boasting an XMAX-L solid-state preamp that's had over 25 years of recording studio know-how implemented in the design, you can be sure that no matter what audio source you are recording, you will have a clean and articulate sound. With 50dB of gain and +48V phantom power, you can be sure that even if you're using the most sensitive studio condenser microphone, you will have plenty of headroom to record even the most dynamic of solo vocal performances.
A combination input features both XLR and 1/4" TRS input and allows you to record anything from XLR vocal microphones, direct boxes for your electric guitar or line-level instruments such as keyboards or drum machines. An additional dedicated instrument input can be used to connect a separate instrument such as your electric bass or guitar. The combination of both inputs even allows you to record both vocals and instruments simultaneously for natural performances with soul.
True to its name, the AudioBox GO features everything you need to record, you'll want to carry it with you everywhere you and your instrument go. Small and robust enough to be carried in a guitar case, backpack or laptop bag, you can capture your ideas in stunning quality whenever inspiration strikes, whether that's on the go, in-between studios or at your rehearsal room. Class-compliant and compatible with Android and iOS devices, you can get up and running with your device without the need for complicated installations or drivers, letting get on with your creative output without losing focus. Powered by the onboard USB-C connection, you can also eliminate the need for bulky power supplies that tether you to an outlet connection and instead enjoy the freedom to record wherever you are, even if that's in the great outdoors.
