WORLD-CLASS RECORDING SOFTWARE INCLUDED.
The AudioBox® Studio Ultimate Bundle comes with PreSonus® Studio One™ Artist and the Studio Magic Software Suite for a complete recording solution. Studio One offers unlimited tracks and plug-ins and is easy to learn and use. Studio Magic includes over $1,000 USD of plug-ins, loops, virtual instruments, effects and tutorials.
ERIS® E3.5 MEDIA REFERENCE MONITORS
With their 25 watt/side power amp and 3.5-inch woofer, Eris® E3.5s get surprisingly loud, while delivering clear, accurate audio and rich bass. The one-inch tweeter produces a smooth, refined sound and a wide “sweet spot.” High- and low-frequency controls adjust the Eris E3.5s to compensate for room acoustics and the effects of speaker placement.
CAPTURE EVERY NUANCE WITH THE M7 CONDENSER MICROPHONE.
Get your mic collection off to a good start with the M7 large-diaphragm condenser microphone. Condenser mics are the overwhelming choice of recording studio professionals, enabling you to capture musical details, harmonics, and subtle nuances that would get lost with dynamic mics. Large-diaphragm condenser microphones, like the M7, tend to “warm up” a sound, making them the go-to microphone for recording vocals and a wide range of instruments.
HEAR EVERY DETAIL WITH HD7 PROFESSIONAL HEADPHONES.
PreSonus’ high-definition HD7 headphones take advantage of a patented, semi-open sound chamber to deliver exceptionally deep low frequencies with a balanced and yet powerful bass punch. Accurate midrange and extended treble response let you pick out the fine details of a mix or track. The lightweight, ergonomic design adjusts to any head size, offering a comfortable listening experience during long recording sessions.
APPLE SILICON, IOS, AND IPADOS COMPATIBILITY—STANDARD.
The PreSonus AudioBox 96 Studio is natively compatible with Apple Silicon-based Mac computers*, as well as iOS and iPadOS devices, including iPad Pro, iPad, iPad Air, iPad Mini, iPod Touch, and iPhone. Because it’s USB class-compliant, there are no special drivers or applications to download and install. You’ll be able to produce on the go—everything from podcasts to folk rock to trap—wherever sound takes you.
