The AudioBox USB is a USB bus-powered interface with 2 mic/instrument
preamps with 48V phantom power, 2 balanced TRS outputs, MIDI
Input/Output, and a playback mixer knob on the front panel allowing you
to adjust the volume level between your recording and existing tracks. The
AudioBox USB ships complete with the PreSonus ProPak software suite
featuring Steinberg’s Cubase LE 4 as well as a bundle of third party plug-ins,
loops and drum samples. The 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. The AudioBox USB is housed in an all-metal chassis with
metal knobs ready to withstand the rigors of travel. Toss it in your laptop bag
and mobilize your music creation and production.
