Nice setup for guitar and vocal audio recording or livestreams
Great for guitar recording and livestream thru GarageBand. Also good for vocals and live streaming on TikTok with some tweaks it works as a great microphone and I use the GarageBand software on my MacBook Air. It took me a bit of adjustment to figure out everything but for recording videos and livestream on TikTok I’ve had a lot of fun learning how it works. Now I use the headphones to listen and practice guitar to with out blasting my neighbors!!

Solid and Portable Budget Interface
I bought this just for simple music playback through my studio monitors on my PC. I use a Presonus Quantum ES 4 on my mac for recording and production. My PC is just for office work and my old 2nd gen Focusrite finally died. So far, the latency is non existent, great headroom, nice small form factor design, software was a breeze to setup and get running. Overall, it’s just the functionality I needed to stream music to my monitors. Noise level is great, can’t hear a thing, even when turned to full, no hiss at all. Only complaint is how bright the power LED is on the front, but nothing some black gaff tape can’t fix.

Better as a DAC than a ADC
Pro:Small and light (220g = 7.8 oz)Good headphone ampPlug & play with WindowsPeak input level LEDPower indicator LED¼ headphone jackBalanced main outputsIncludes a USB-A to USB-C cableIncluded DAW softwareWorks fine at 5V & <0.5ACon:All plastic caseLimited gainSharp break on input gain controlPower LED too brightI don’t give a product 5 stars unless I cannot see how it could be made better for its intended purpose. This audio interface is not bad, but could be better.The small size is definitely a plus, but the light weight is achieved by it being all plastic. I’d rather it had a metal case and weigh more. I appreciate the ¼” headphone jack since it’s much more reliable than a 3.5mm (1/8”) jack. I did not use the available DAW software download, but the fact it’s included must be considered a plus.When used as a stand-alone mic preamp, I found that it had limited gain even with a high output condenser microphone. The input gain control increases the level slowly until it’s almost fully CW, then the level and distortion jumps sharply. Once the Peak LED is lit, the distortion is audible. With no load, the P48 measured 47.6V. With a mic that draws 3 mA, the P48 dropped to 36.0 V. This unit draws less than 0.5 A at 5.0 V, so it will be able to be powered by any USB port that meets its spec. It’s a plus that it has a power LED, but it’s too bright; nothing a little piece of gaffer tape won’t fix.I’m going to use this mostly as a DAC so the mic input issues don’t matter to me so I’m happy with it. The price is pretty good for what it is.

Perfect as a travel interface
I just received this product two days ago and I am already extremely shocked and impressed by this thing.First major pro: the size.I knew going into purchasing this Presonus audio interface was going to be great for portability, but I can LITERALLY fit this thing into an incredibly small sweatpants pocket and take this interface with me anywhere. For size perspective, here is an image compared to this and my SSL2. While the SSL2 is capable of being a portable interface, I wanted something that could fit into a free personal item while flying. This is the perfect travel interface.Second major pro: The clarity of the preamp. Honestly compared to my SSL2, to my ears, this thing has a clearer sounding preamp with less coloration than the SSL2. While the SSL2’s coloration (including the 4k button) works for some of my rap records, it doesn’t work for every situation. Being able to fire up a second interface with a more neutral, clear sound, is a huge pro.Final major pro: The external features on the interface. At this price, it is impossible to find a great-sounding audio interface for travel purposes with an independent headphone volume knob, a mix knob to mix between zero-latency monitoring and computer playback, and a pair of quarter-inch outputs to link the audiobox go to studio monitors.However, this interface is not without its faults.First con: 50 decibel maximum gain: The max gain from the preamp on the audiobox go is 50 DB. That is nowhere near up to standard with 2022 audio interfaces. No way you can run any dynamic microphone without an inline preamp. I couldn’t run my $20 dynamic behringer xm8500 without having to scream into it to achieve an appropriate level.Second con: Installing the software bundle. While the software bundle includes a ton of plugins to help get anyone started recording, the installation process with the bundle is terrible. It takes so long to install all of the free software you get with this interface.The build quality is all-plastic, but the knobs are easy to control similar to the SSL2 knobs. No metering is a minor con, as well as a quieter maximum volume output.The Presonus checks off all the boxes for me with a travel interface. Extreme portability, independent headphone volume knob, all the necessary external features to succeed as a travel AND studio interface, and clear preamps. I wouldn’t recommend it for traveling podcasters or dynamic microphone users, but otherwise, this interface blows away its competition. It even competes with the SSL2 with its clear sounding preamp.

Content is not the same as description.
In the description it says that with the Bundle you get access to Studio One Pro DAW, however, when you register the products in Presonus, it appears that it is Studio One Artist.

Great Replacement
For over 10 years I have been using a Tascam US-144MKii interface and it performed well until Windows 10 and its updates. Apparently, the drivers are not updatable, and I would get usb-connection issues. Unplugging and replugging was constantly performed.The Presonus AudioBox is wonderful and the sound is very good. I like its size, the fact all the connections are on the back panel leaving the controls only on the front panel to get the right balance from input or output. I primarily use it with my monitor speakers for my desktop, but also connect it from my mixing board to record into software. While it only has 1 instrument or microphone input and no midi, I only need 1 input for my guitar. I should have purchased this sooner due to usb conflicts on the old unit.

For the money, this is a great little DACSound quality is excellent, great clarity. Build quality is solid – its light too. Its small and compact.Connectivity is basic, but covers what it should at this price pointI have the Presonus Studio 24c, the Quantum ES2, and this AudioBox Go … all 3 do exactly what you wantThe AudioBox Go is a terrific portable DAC, or entry point for your first desktop setupHighly recommended!

This Presonus audio box is a great audio interface. It works with mobile also flawlessly. Just plug and play.Pros:● Easy to use, just plug and play. You can also use the presonus driver for more options.● Bit rate is 96kHz, and bit depth is 24 bit. Which is great and industry standard.● Design is attractive and small, which makes it easy to carry and store. I really like the design.● Type c port makes it more compatible.● Ports are also sufficient.Cons:● Did not find any.Summary: I recommend this one if your are planning to buy an audio interface. Don’t go below this budget as those are inferior quality compared to this one.
