Best Portable Box For the Money!

by Trey Sansom from Knoxville, TN

This is definitely the best box for the money! I am a big fan of the Presonus preamps and an even bigger fan of their customer service. I had a warranty issue with another piece of Presonus gear earl... read more [+]ier this year and it only took 9 days from the time I shipped it to them to the time that I got it back fixed. Customer service is a huge issue for me and that is also why I always deal with Jason Koons ext. 1389 here at Sweetwater. He is the best music dealer that I have ever worked with! Call Jason if you want a great sales experience. close [-]

Great little box, very surprising

I've used both the Digi and M Audio interfaces and this is BY FAR a much better sounding box with much better construction. It's built like a tank and doesn't feel all cheap like the other ones in thi... read more [+]s price range. Cubase LE4 is ok. I'm using Garageband and Logic with it and so far it's been great. close [-]

Good, solid product

Very solid build. Worked 'out of the box' on my old Dell running XP. Installing Cubase was a little more laborious than I would like but after the installation, it has worked without a hitch.

Very good clean sound when I recorded acoustic guitar with 2 condensers running straight into the inputs. I like the idea of being able to power my mics without separate preamps. I still have mine, which I used to use with my older audio i/o but i'm not seeing a huge trade off just using the very good ones that come with the box.

Very happy with this inexpensive yet high performing product. close [-]

I can't give this product 5 stars because it just doesn't work on my PC which is an older computer. But on my MacBook it works GREAT!

Works great for what I wanted! Simple interface with good sound quality! Just need an inexpensive interface to bring out my mic more (AT 3035).
