PreSonus has just introduced a new compact and ultra-affordable USB bus-powered audio interface: the PreSonus AudioBox GO. Let’s take a closer look at this 2in-2out entry-level audio interface!

Let’s face it, if you’re working in the photo/video world, you probably don’t need a fancy audio interface with tons of audio inputs and outputs and functionalities you’ll probably never use. We’re not music recording studios, and our audio interfaces are usually connected to a pair of professional audio monitors, headphones, and sometimes one microphone, and not much more.

If you’re in the market for a compact, easy-to-use, and very affordable audio interface, PreSonus has just released the AudioBox GO that can cover most of your needs.

PreSonus AudioBox GO features

The AudioBox GO is a tiny USB-C bus-powered audio interface with dimensions of only 4.4 x 8.4 x 10.8cm for a weight of 240grams. It won’t take much space on your desk or inside your bag.

This 2in-2out unit features a mic/line XLR audio input with 48V phantom power, an instrument input, two 6.3mm audio outputs to connect professional monitors and a headphone output.

At the front of the AudioBox GO, there are four knobs to adjust your headphone/monitor outputs and your input gains.

This plug-and-play audio interface is compatible with Mac/Windows/iOS/Android devices. Also, it comes with free Studio One Prime and Studio Magic software licenses. This bundle includes over $1000 worth of plug-ins, software, and tutorials.

Price and availability

The PreSonus AudioBox GO is available now for $79.95. You’ll find a USB A to USB-C cable, four rubber pads, and the manuals in the box.

It’ll be hard to beat PreSonus in this entry-level market at this price point. Indeed, the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 2×2, one of content creators’ most commonly used units, is $119.99. This new AudioBox GO is a no-brainer if you need basic audio functionalities.
