Amazon is now offering the PreSonus AudioBox GO USB-C audio interface for $69.95 shipped. Regularly $80, this already affordable XLR mic input solution is now seeing the first price drop we have tracked and, subsequently, a new Amazon all-time low. Now joining the rare price drop live on the brand’s Eris E3.5 Studio Monitor Speakers, the bus-powered AudioBox GO delivers a simple and particularly affordable way to connect XLR microphones and instruments to your recording, podcasting, and content creation computer. USB-C connectivity is complemented by a headphone output, balanced speaker jacks, and the usual 48V of phantom power to run condenser mics. Get a closer look in our hands-on review where we said it is easily among the best options in the price range. Then head below for more.
You’ll be hard-pressed to find anything from a well-known brand at this price, especially something that was released this year. But if you don’t mind something that’s been around for a while you can save even more with the Behringer U-Phoria UM2 USB interface that will provide similar connectivity options for $45 shipped on Amazon.
While we are on the subject, we also had a chance to go hands-on with the PreSonus Dynamic USB mic a couple months ago. This one features some interesting built-in FX and quality of life features you don’t see very often on podcast-ready solutions alongside a similar design to the ever-popular Shure SMB7 lineup. Dive in right here and swing by our roundup of the best podcast equipment while you’re at it.
