The PreSonus AudioBox 96 25th Anniversary Edition is an entry-level external USB audio interface with high-quality A/D/A converters with a dynamic range of 104 dB, Class A microphone preamps, and minimal latency. The device is ideal for mobile recording due to its sturdy all-metal casing and USB bus power.
The audio interface features two channels in the form of microphone and instrument inputs on two Combo Jack/XLR connectors. The microphone inputs have +48V phantom power for condenser microphones, and high-quality preamps ensure minimal noise levels during recording. The instrument inputs are designed for high-impedance signals, such as electric guitars. Recording is done in 24-bit format with a sampling rate of up to 96 kHz. The channel volume controls are located near the inputs and have overload indicators. There is also a Mix knob for direct monitoring of the input signal without delay or listening to the computer's output. Volume knobs for monitors and headphones are also on the front panel. A balanced output on two 1/4'' Jack TRS connectors is available for connecting to an acoustic system. The headphone output is also on a 1/4'' Jack TRS connector. There is a MIDI interface with input and output on traditional 5-pin connectors for connecting external devices such as synthesizers, controllers, drum machines, etc. Connection to a computer and device power is via the USB-B port.
The PreSonus AudioBox 96 25th Anniversary Edition Ultimate is one of the best budget audio interfaces, notable for its low latency, incredibly durable housing, built-in high-quality converters and preamps found in more expensive sound cards. This model is perfect for home studios and mobile recording, allowing both recording and mixing music. The kit includes a USB cable, license keys for the PreSonus Studio One Artist audio software program, and the Studio Magic package with essential mixing plugins in VST, AAX, and AU formats.
The M7 microphone is a condenser microphone, ideal for quality voice and acoustic instrument recording due to its large diaphragm and sensitivity to even the softest nuances of sound. Its cardioid polar pattern allows it to capture sounds in front of the capsule while rejecting unwanted noise from the sides and rear. The microphone has a frequency range from 40 Hz to 18 kHz, covering the full spectrum of human voice frequencies. Connection is via XLR, and it requires phantom power from +12 to +52V, which the AudioBox 96 can provide. For sound monitoring, dynamic semi-open HD7 headphones are included, belonging to the monitor class for linear sound reproduction without frequency embellishments, enhancing music mixing quality.
The headphones feature 50mm neodymium drivers reproducing frequencies from 10 Hz to 30 kHz, with leather earpads. The cable is detachable, 2.5 meters in length with a 1/8'' Jack TRS connector, and a 1/4'' Jack TRS adapter is included. The PreSonus AudioBox 96 Ultimate recording kit not only includes physical devices but also offers special software for audio file processing. Along with the microphone, headphones, and sound card, you receive a license key for the PreSonus Studio One Artist program for recording and editing your own compositions conveniently. Additionally, after purchasing from the company's official website, you can download the Studio Magic plugin package, including VST, AAX, and AU plugins like SPL Attacker transient shaper, Maag Audio EQ2 equalizer, Lexicon MPX-i Reverb reverb, Klanghelm SDRR2tube saturator, Output Movement modulator, Brainworx bx_opto compressor, and vintage synthesizers from Arturia Analog Lab Lite.
