Product description
PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 - 25th Anniversary Edition
Top Brand: PreSonus
From the manufacturer


Simple, reliable, and portable.
Whether you are a musician, producer, or podcaster on a tight budget, the AudioBox USB 96 audio interface is for you! This simple, handy little audio/MIDI interface has just the right features for basic recording needs.
Features
Just the right size.
The AudioBox USB 96 audio interface’s two front-panel combo mic/instrument inputs make it ideal for singer/songwriters, podcasters, and guitar or guitar-bass collaborations. Simply connect a couple of mics and you have an easy-to-use stereo recording system. A mix control lets you control the level between the input signal and computer playback, without hearing annoying delays. You also get a pair of balanced line-level outputs, an ultra-loud, crystal-clear headphone out, plus MIDI I/O, so you can connect your favorite synth or MIDI controller. The result is a simple, affordable, mobile recording solution.
Roadworthy and ready to travel.
Here is a mobile audio interface in the best sense of the term. We gave the AudioBox USB 96 a heavy-duty steel chassis so it can take a serious pounding and remain completely reliable. Its screaming-loud headphone output ensures you can hear your music loud and clear, even in noisy locations. And it’s USB 2.0 bus-powered, so you can record with it anywhere you can use a laptop. Simply drop it in your laptop bag or slap it on a tabletop.
Built for the studio and the road.
Whether you're just getting into recording or are a veteran producer who wants to go mobile, the AudioBox USB 96 audio interface will give you great sound in a bus-powered, rugged chassis that's ready to hit the road when you are. The perfect companion for any recording software, the AudioBox USB 96 comes equipped with Studio One Artist to provide you with a complete recording solution right out of the box. Check out the AudioBox USB 96 and Studio One at your favorite PreSonus dealer.
A classic that deserves celebration.
The AudioBox USB96 has been responsible for the great sound on countless albums, podcasts, live streams, and Zoom calls and here at PreSonus, we wanted to honor that with a special 25th Anniversary Edition featuring a sleek, black enclosure. Now you can choose your color: classic PreSonus blue or 25th Anniversary matte black.

World-class recording software included
While the AudioBox USB 96 audio interface works with virtually all Mac and Windows audio-recording software, it comes with a free license for PreSonus’ Studio One Artist DAW, giving you a complete recording solution. Built by creative people for creative music production, Studio One is easy to learn and enables you to compose, record, and produce your masterpiece without getting distracted by the tools. Studio One also enjoys a robust online community of enthusiastic and helpful users you can turn to for advice.

Make your own magic.
PreSonus, we want to make sure that our audio interfaces come with everything you need to craft your own mesmerizing spells in the studio. That’s why we include Studio One Artist with every audio interface product we make.

- Reviewed in Canada on February 16, 2025Verified PurchaseI was hesitant in purchasing this unit because it is deceptively inexpensive. I was pleasantly surprised! And it comes with a license for a DAW, which is awesome. Sure it's not the newest version, but for general recording (which is all that I do), it is amazing.
This thing should be registered as a lethal weapon. It's so solid! The weight and materials make me much more confident in my purchase. I fell like this thing will last a lifetime.
Everything was easy to install and it sounds amazing.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 4, 2023Verified PurchaseIt works well, for what it is being used for. Recording into the computer from the instrument.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 16, 2024Verified PurchaseI am just looking into it now, but it doesn't seem to use ASIO (app ASIO4ALL may he a workaround); it installed immediately, but be sure to use a powered port; USBMIDI WORKS, but have not tried the MIDI ports yet
It was inexpensive, though... So I guess there's the tradeoff.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 28, 2021Verified PurchaseThis is a great interface for a good price, at first when I was recording it was making noises in the recording, but I tried a differente usb port on my Laptop and it worked!! Cristal clear sound, It also comes with tones of usefull software, recommended if you are on budget for a home studio.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 28, 2024Verified PurchaseOK, I recently built 2 computers for musicians and they put the burden on me to choose the right hardware/speed/drive size. In both cases, the users wanted to connect a keyboard or an organ and record/amplify music. In my research, I determined I needed a box like the PreSonus Audiobox (there are others). I didn't understand why, since one of my customers had a USB cable that he was using to connect his organ to the PC and he was thinking he didn't need this box. His daughter was visiting at the time I was doing setup (also a musician) and she pointed out that it has to do with latency. When you use the PreSonus box there is no delay between pressing the key and hearing the sound. Nuff' said! =)
- Reviewed in Canada on April 3, 2024Verified PurchaseThis is the second one I had in two weeks. I had to exchange the first one because the serial number on it was invalid and I couldn’t register it. Tech support got back to me only after I sent it back for replacement. The second one registers fine but rapidly connects and disconnects. I’ve been dealing with tech support for 5 days. With one fix a day which didn’t work and then no response from them after the third day. I just gave up and returned it.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 22, 2022Verified Purchasewas looking for a plug-and-play usb audio interface for use with linux, and this fits the bill. It's also got a solid all metal body, the ability to turn phantom power on/off without silencing the audio output, and decent knobs with noticable tactile "bumps" between levels on the dial that can come in handy for fine tuning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Presonus non delude mai
Verified PurchaseHo atteso un po' prima di recensire questo prodotto, anche se data la mia esperienza con questo prestigioso marchio, non avevo dubbi in merito. Ho effettuato alcune registrazioni sia vocali che strumentali, e devo dire che compie il suo lavoro egregiamente. Questa versione offre all'utente una serie di software e plug-in davvero eccezionali e tutti free, grazie alla registrazione del prodotto sulla piattaforma della casa produttrice. Consiglio vivamente per chi volesse creare contenuti audio professionali, produzioni musicali home-studio, dal risultato davvero impeccabile. Super consigliata.
