PreSonus AudioBox 96 Studio Bundle ( 25th-Anniversary ) is a complete recording package that combines the 25th-Anniversary Black AudioBox USB 96 desktop 2×2 USB audio/MIDI interface, Studio One Artist recording and production software, and M7 large-diaphragm condenser microphone, and a pair of HD7 professional headphones to create an all-in-one solution for musicians and engineers wishing to produce professional music in the comfort of their own home.
The PreSonus AudioBox 96 Studio Bundle offers two XLR-1/4″ combo inputs capable of recording dynamic and condenser microphones and instruments via its Class-A preamps and 24-bit / 96 kHz converters. The interface is bus-powered and lightweight, making it an ideal portable interface that is compatible with Mac and Windows computers.
The Studio One Artist software is an easy-to-use DAW that delivers unlimited audio tracks, MIDI, virtual instruments, buses, and FX channels. The software offers powerful drag-and-drop functionality and offers a single-window work environment.
The software ships with 26 native effects and over 10GB of third-party software, loops, and instruments. Also included with the PreSonus AudioBox 96 Studio Bundle is the Studio Magic Plug-In Suite, a bundle with Ableton Live Lite, tutorials from Melodics, six virtual instruments, and nine popular plug-ins in VST, AU, and AAX formats.
The M7 is a large-diaphragm condenser mic with a cardioid polar pattern, yielding focused frontal pickup and solid off-axis rejection. Its wide frequency response (40 Hz to 18 kHz) and robust SPL handling (136 dB max) make it a capable mic for vocals and an array of instruments. The HD7 over-ear headphones utilize 50mm, neodymium drivers, to deliver a frequency response of 10 Hz to 30 kHz with a sensitivity of 98 dB SPL, while their leather earpads provide comfort for long listening sessions.
