The Presonus AudioBox GO is a powerful and compact USB-powered 2×2 audio interface. The most portable interface within the AudioBox range, the AudioBox GO is designed for musicians and producers on the go.
Compatible with typical laptop or desktop setups as well as Android and iOS devices, you have the flexibility to record wherever you may be when inspiration strikes. The class-compliant USB-C connection allows you to dive into recording without tedious setups or driver installations and even means you don’t need an additional power supply to get up and running.
Don’t let the size fool you, the AudioBox GO features a combination input that runs into a professional studio-grade XMAX-L preamp to record and capture your instrument or voice in stunning definition and clarity. This convenient combo input lets you connect your favorite condenser microphone thanks to the onboard phantom power or a line-level source such as a drum machine or keyboard. Additionally, a dedicated instrument input lets you record vocals and your instrument simultaneously for complete flexibility.
Ideal for studios where space is a priority, the AudioBox GO comes included with a slew of premium software tools to help you take your song from concept to completion. Coming included with a license for Studio One Prime DAW and Studio Magic Suite, you have access to over 1000 plug-ins, content, and tuition completely free. Start your musical journey without restrictions with the AudioBox GO.
Connect anything and sound great. In typical Presonus fashion, the AudioBox GO delivers stunning audio quality in a compact package. Boasting an XMAX-L solid-state preamp that’s had over 25 years of recording studio know-how implemented in the design, you can be sure that no matter what audio source you are recording, you will have a clean and articulate sound.
With 50dB of gain and +48V phantom power, you can be sure that even if you’re using the most sensitive studio condenser microphone, you will have plenty of headroom to record even the most dynamic of solo vocal performances. A combination input features both XLR and 1/4″ TRS input and allows you to record anything from XLR vocal microphones, direct boxes for your electric guitar, or line-level instruments such as keyboards or drum machines. An additional dedicated instrument input can be used to connect a separate instrument such as your electric bass or guitar. The combination of both inputs even allows you to record both vocals and instruments simultaneously for natural performances with soul.
Compact and powerful. True to its name, the AudioBox GO features everything you need to record. You’ll want to carry it with you everywhere you and your instrument go. Small and robust enough to be carried in a guitar case, backpack, or laptop bag, you can capture your ideas in stunning quality whenever inspiration strikes, whether that’s on the go, in-between studios, or at your rehearsal room.
Class-compliant and compatible with Android and iOS devices, you can get up and running with your device without the need for complicated installations or drivers, letting get on with your creative output without losing focus. Powered by the onboard USB-C connection, you can also eliminate the need for bulky power supplies that tether you to an outlet connection and instead enjoy the freedom to record wherever you are, even if that’s in the great outdoors.
Hear loud and clear. Providing you all the connections you need to monitor your recordings in detail, the AudioBox GO features two balanced main outputs for your favorite studio monitors, as well as a front-mounted headphone jack with independent level controls. The powerful outputs also feature a convenient Mix control, enabling you to blend your playback audio from the dry input to the wet and processed sounds through your software. Using the Mix feature on full allows you to hear how your tracks sound through studio processing whilst recording, ideal for electric guitarists playing through virtual amp simulators or for vocalists to hear any compression or reverb effects applied to the vocals. Often recording dry can be uninspiring and lead to dull performances, with the Mix knob fully cranked, stay inspired and hear the final sound of your performance with no latency!

Coming with a free license for Studio One Prime, you have access to one of the world’s most intuitive DAWs, giving you the ability to record, edit, compose, and produce your music.
