PreSonus AudioBox USB
Capture your ideas wherever you are with the PreSonus AudioBox USB 2x2 USB recording system. The AudioBox USB is a USB bus-powered audio recording interface featuring 2 microphone/instrument inputs with 48V phantom power 2 balanced TRS outputs MIDI in/out as well as Steinberg's Cubase LE 4 48-track recording and production software.

PreSonus Audio has won numerous awards for designing the quality microphone preamplifiers for all price levels. The AudioBox USB is loaded with preamps that deliver high headroom low noise and high gain to give you pure full and rich sound. Most USB recording devices operate at 16-bit sample rate and use converters with dynamic range of less than 90dB which gives you a pinched and relatively small sound. The AudioBox USB however uses professional-grade analog to digital converters with dynamic range of 102dB and 24-bit sample rate so that the digital conversion is big quiet and musical.

The AudioBox USB is USB bus-powered allowing you to take it anywhere inspiration hits. No wall warts line lumps or power cables. Just plug in to a powered USB port and you are ready to record. It's also housed in an all-metal chassis with metal knobs ready to withstand the rigors of travel. Toss it in your laptop bag and mobilize your music creation and production. Whether you want to record your shows mix on the plane or write songs in your hotel room the AudioBox is ready.

Cubase LE 4 Recording and Production Software Steinberg's Cubase LE 4 48-track recording and production is included with the AudioBox giving you a full-featured and powerful recording system right in the box. Cubase LE 4's features include 48-audio tracks 64 MIDI tracks MIDI & sequencing EQ on each track VST plug-in support Virtual instrument support Time stretching and pitch shifting HALionOne Sample Player (w/ 60 Instruments 400 MB sound library) Compressor DualFilter Distortion PingPong-Delay Chorus Flanger Phaser AutoPanner Vibrato Rotary MonoToStereo and Roomworks SE DaTube MIDI Gate StepFilter Bitcrusher Chopper Metalizer Ring Modulator Tranceformer Grungelizer Drum Editor and more.

The 3/4" gold-sputtered diaphragm creates a professional sound suited for digital and analog recording. Attractive vintage body style with champagne finish. 30Hz-20kHz frequency response. 130dB maximum SPL. Includes custom shockmount mic stand adapter and case. It requires phantom power.

Fostex PMO.4 Studio monitors
Fostex employs the latest cone material technology to obtain extremely pure music reproduction with the PM 0.4 powered monitors. Biamplification provides 18W to the 4" LF drivers and 18W to the extremely responsive 5/8" soft-dome tweeters. The 4" cones are made of Kevlar fibers for high rigidity and optimum damping as well as incredible durability. Newly designed dampers around the tweeters eliminate interference for clearer high-frequency response. The compact cabinets are specially designed to eliminate unwanted resonance and incorporate a long bass port for deep and accurate low-frequency response.

2 LiveWire 1/4" RCA Dual Patch cables
Mono 1/4" male to RCA male dual cable with metal headshells. For serious-minded musicians these cables have the strength and durability to withstand more than everyday use. Their sturdy construction enhances signal and performance. Flexible design eliminates kinks and twists for a tangle-free performance whether you're in the studio or on the stage. Their superior wiring allows your signal to be quiet eliminating frustrating hums buzzing and crackles.
