I recently had the pleasure of testing out the PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 25th Anniversary Edition. This is a 2 channel USB 2.0 interface, perfect for personal and portable recording. As a professional reviewer who has tried and reviewed a multitude of products, I can confidently say that this one is definitely worth the money.

The PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 comes with two high quality Class A mic preamps, making it easy to get a great sound. There are also two high headroom instrument inputs, so you can record guitar, bass, and other line level devices without any difficulties. With studio grade converters, you can have up to 24 bit/96 kHz recording and playback with ease.

In terms of value for money, the PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 is outstanding it comes with over 1000 worth of recording software including Studio One Artist, Ableton Live Lite, and Studio Magic Plug In suite. This makes it perfect for beginners who are just starting out in music production and need something to get them going without breaking the bank.

The interface also features mixer control which allows you to create a custom blend between inputs and playback so you can monitor with zero latency. Additionally, the USB bus power via USB 2.0 makes it super mobile friendly no need for an additional power supply! It even comes equipped with a high powered headphone output and balanced TRS outputs for your convenience. The onboard 48V phantom power global also accommodates studio condenser microphones so you can easily plug in your favorite mics without any issues at all.

To sum up my review of the PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 25th Anniversary Edition: this is an excellent value for money product which offers excellent sound quality as well as features that make it perfect for beginners or experienced professionals alike. You get all the essentials you need in one package from recording software to audio interfaces making it ideal for those looking to start their music production journey without spending too much money or time getting everything set up. Highly recommended!
