The PreSonus AudioBox GO is an ultra-affordable, compact, and versatile audio interface designed for both mobile and home recording. Despite its small size, it offers powerful features that make it an excellent choice for musicians, podcasters, and content creators who need a portable recording solution. The AudioBox GO provides all the essential connections needed for quick and efficient recording, including a combination mic/line input, an instrument input, and balanced main outputs for studio monitors. Whether you're capturing vocals with an XLR microphone or recording guitar riffs directly from your instrument, the AudioBox GO has you covered.

Built to be compatible with both Apple and Android mobile devices as well as computers, the AudioBox GO is bus-powered via USB-C, eliminating the need for an external power supply. This makes it perfect for recording on the go or in a home studio setup. The professional-grade 24-bit/96 kHz converters ensure that all your recordings maintain top-notch audio quality, while the XMAX-L microphone preamp provides high-headroom, low-noise performance. With up to 50 dB of gain and switchable 48V phantom power, your condenser microphones will perform at their best, making it ideal for high-quality vocal recordings and other sensitive sources.

For added flexibility, the AudioBox GO includes an easy-to-use Mix control, allowing you to blend the audio from your inputs and playback with zero latency. This makes monitoring recordings a breeze, especially when recording vocals alongside pre-recorded tracks. Whether you're capturing live performances, creating demos, or simply recording ideas at home, the AudioBox GO provides the tools you need to get started right away. The included six-month subscription to Studio One Pro and the Studio Magic Suite ensures that you have everything needed to record, produce, and edit your audio without delay.
