AudioBox GO is a pocket-sized dynamo with all the connections you need to connect professional XLR vocal mics, guitars, synthesizers, headphones, and studio monitors, so it’s also fantastic for compact laptop-based studio setups where desk space is a hot commodity. It's USB class-compliant, so there are no special drivers or applications for you to download and install—and it’s bus-powered, which means no fussing about with power supplies.

Best of all, you’ll be making music from day one, because the AudioBox GO includes Studio One Prime—the most intuitive digital audio workstation around—as well as Studio Magic, a bundle of over $1000 worth of plug-ins, software, and tutorials.
