The AudioBox GO audio interface is equipped with a PreSonus® XMAX-L preamplifier, the manufacturer says that it provides not only low noise, but also 50 dB gain, and there is also +48 V phantom power on board for professional XLR condenser microphones.
The combo input also doubles as a line input and can be used to record keyboards or a drum machine, while a dedicated instrument input lets you plug in an electric guitar or bass, so the AudioBox GO allows you to record guitar and vocals at the same time.
Interfaces PreSonus AudioBox GO
There are two 6.3mm audio outputs for connecting professional monitors and a headphone output. There are four knobs on the front of the AudioBox GO for adjusting the headphone/monitor outputs and input gain.
The audio interface is compatible with Mac/Windows/iOS/Android devices, licensed for Studio One Prime and Studio Magic included.
