This is great after lots of search and seeing reviews I bought this bundle, the only downside of the Audio interface is there is no key to switch off while not using it, quality and compatibility is better than previous one if you wanna work with Mac then go for this interface otherwise for windows you can save more money with previous bundle (Audibox 96 studio), Studio One on this package is a great clincher to ignore other brands
Ottimo per iniziare, manca il cd d’installazione quindi in bocca al lupo
Buongiorno, sono felice di come funziona questa scheda, sono un musicista e mi registro le tracce da solo, mi trovo benissimo e facile da usare. anche con ipad e garage band
I am really pleased with my presonus audiobox itwo.
The two channels means I can record two instruments through mic or line input, or mic only with the 48v phantom power and I have bought a line Jack to stereo for recording my piano keyboard as well.
Still getting to grips with midi, I have to admit, but have already uploaded a couple of songs, which I have written, to Soundcloud. All this for a fraction of the price others charge and with no discernible loss of quality. Would recommend.
Everything was boxed and arrived on time. All components were intact and accounted for. Although the box may say studio 3 you get that daw as well. But you can upgrade after you register on Presonus. All the plug ins for Magic Jack an all are on here. It takes time to initially set it all up and download all the installers. Go into the websites. Create free accounts if you get lost look for it on the corners of the page. But for the most part it’s all prompt. After you have to open them an install them individually if you dont have your system configured to do so already. I gave it 4 stars so far and figured I would explain this much coming from a 1st time buyer and user. I dont know anything and learning as I go and this far I’ve read of this problem and thought I’d better explain it to some who dont understand .. I’ll be back to write more reviews as I progress on this journey
Cannot use this if you have a Chromebook.
Now I gotta invest on getting a windows computer for studio one software.
Ok, so, I bought this item cos I wanted to set up my recording studio at home since corona outbreak won’t let me do it anymore outside. I had some little idea on what to do (from experience of recording and watching producers do stuff on their system). This wasn’t easy to set up at first but it shld have been cos it was straight forward what to do but I think I didnt install the audiobox properly so it won’t show on my system which made it impossible for me to get any sounds whatsoever from the mic. Luckily, I had a producer helping me from another country so we did a video call, and he helped me through it. And when I finally heard the mic picking up sounds, it was a tremendous joy for me. Mic sound is good. I recorded some stuff and played around with it. For me, I’m not finding it hard cos I’m already into these things so can understand a lot of things there, except for the really core stuff. But I’m looking forward to recording my 1st proper song. Now I’ve got back most of my songs still in the studio. And how fun is it to record on your own! If u r the type that gets shy when ppl are around u recording, like me, then u will love this privacy even more. By the way, in case u r worried about your usb not being 1.1 or 2, mine is 3. I have 4 usb ports on my Toshiba laptop and they’re all usb 3. But this works perfectly. Remember to turn on the 48v light before recording. NEVER unplug the audio interface box usb cable from your laptop or pc whilst the 48v light is on. The producer that helped me said leave all the vols at half way and turn up the little headfones vol and turn up your computer vol too! otherwise the sound will be low. The big one is for listening on big speakers so turning it up when recording won’t do much to your headphones vol. Also, there’s a vol u need to turn up on the adding track area. Didn’t know about it. It was the producer that told me. Remember u have two items to download, the Studio One installer software and the Audiobox two device, that’s after you’ve registered your product, otherwise you can’t download anything. I wish I cld add pictures but I can’t see anywhere to load pics .
Update; after few months of use, this item can be a pain in the backside. Sometimes it clips, I don’t know why it does that and it can be really annoying especially when you are flowing with a recording and all of a sudden it stops recording , you just wanna smash it that minute .
Update; the clipping stopped. Doesn’t happen again. Like, it stopped completely. I enjoy recording with this item.
Its says all in one… but they dont give u a tablet .. to start off with…it is great if I no what it is or how to work i
Set up was frustrating, my PC didn’t like the software and I had to re-install three times with help from the Presonus team (they were quick to respond). I found it extremely useful viewing ‘how to’ videos on YouTube to get the most out of the package. Overall its good value for money (I carried out a lot of research on other DAW packages) and easy to pick up. My children enjoy producing new tracks with me, although they don’t particularly share my enjoyment of drum and bass!
I’m using this product for creating music and for a first timer I need all the help I can get. It’s easy to install and you don’t need to get a special PC, you also have videos to help set up and step by step instructions from creating your first composition to how to mix the end product. There’s a lot to learn and the good thing about this is that there is people on hand to help.
It is really very nice , and very easy operation now I am working with my I pad
I got this item for my 18 year old sons birthday, he loves it but it was a challenge to have it set up, he eventually got it to work now he’s using it very well.
Seems to be a good value for everything included. I’ve seen some with the PreSonus speakers that’s maybe a better value.
After doing a lot of research, I bought these and never regret, they are awesome, and better than other audio boxes at this price range, mic quality is mindblowing, I got free software update as well
My son was over the moon with this item. I had one very happy boy in Christmas Day.
Best sound quality ever ! And a lot of software free with this pack !!!
I am a total beginner to recording, and a technophobe! I found this incredibly easy to set up and have recorded quite a few bits. The microphone sounds brilliant. I’m really impressed how my voice sounds through it. I’ve used it to record guitar and ukulele too with similar great results.
The only thing I found difficult is the studio one software. I just could not figure that out!! However, I got it all setup on garage band with no worries at all. If you have previous experience, maybe studio one would be a bit easier. I will figure it out at some point, since it seems to have a lit of very detailed functions. For now I’m very happy with my set up and using garage band, which has less functions but is more user friendly in my opinion.
I truly do love this…I bought this after hearing my daughter singing up in her bedroom ( somewhat out of tune ) , I thought the Headphone x Mic set up would help her to hear what she was getting wrong through the headphone & then she would be able to correct & tune herself. Instead something more interesting happened….
After downloading DAW Studio One I immediately became hooked on composing, arranging & producing tracks/songs. I used to be a cubase user but this software was just so much more inspirational. The sounds in it stock were just awe inspiring & on top of that you could still delve deeper & tweek a new parameter & Bam!!! the sounds just became hotter ….Everything works & works extremely well. I’ve been using Studio One for two years now almost & I can honestly say It’s been a life changer. I’ve got over 100 tracks down, & from all kinds of genres. From Rock, House, Techno, Ambient, Dub, DNB, Film…..It’s so versatile the potential is endless. I’ve even joined various specialized web sites remixing other artists material.
On paper this is a 2year old product, it sits on my keyboard, it does what it does & it does it well. I recommend it to anyone & ask what else can you buy these days that after two years you don’t need to go out & buy the latest model or upgrade ( by the way the software is the ‘Artist’ version which a step down from the ‘Professional’ version.) It’s not a 30 day trial version & it’s by no way a ‘Lite’ version either.
Super bundle. Je connaissais dj la marque pour avoir achet par le pass la premire audiobox USB. Cette nouvelle interface est parfaite, Le micro et le casque fournis sont de trs bonne qualit pour le prix (ce n’est pas un micro lampe soyons clair mais il fait parfaitement le boulot). En plus la version Artist de Studio One est fournie ce qui est un gros plus pour se lancer dans le home studio moindre frais. A recommander pour toute personne souhaitant faire ses premire armes dans le monde de l’enregistrement audio-numrique.
i purchased it.. but how can i install or download the studio one software. pls assis
conforme a quanto indicato, arrivato quando previsto, adatto a chi necessita di una scheda audio per PC con ingressi per microfono
Excellent kit for beginners who wants to learn music and record it. I would recommend who is starting his/her music recording. Build quality is also good. Go for it you will not regret.
Make sure to download proper driver from Presonus website. Works a charm great quality and latency when recording guitar. Haven’t used mic at all yet but if its anything like the interface it’ll be sweet. Also don’t forget to register for free Studio one Artist DAW. Will make the upgrade to pro a little cheaper if you want to “go legit”.
Good one and worth the money
– Voice and guitar recordings are quite good
– Midi also seems ok .. no issues (but, MIDI itself is something that does not need any interface)
El micrfono y los audfonos no son los mejores al precio individual que manejan, pero la interfaz es muy buena y portable. Sirve muy bien para grabar con un iPad y en OSX trabaja sin problemas ni necesidad de drivers.
Otro inconveniente es que no me di cuenta de que era producto importado y te cobran impuestos por importacin y no te los reembolsan en caso de devolucin.
Un paquete muy bueno por menos de cuatro mil pesos para aquellos que apenas inician y tambin les recomiendo Reaper como DAW, ya que el Studio One que trae est muy limitado.
Great purchase and a fast delivery. Excellent choice for a beginner and easy to set up and use. Bargain!
The product as a whole is really amazing for the price and for anyone who is looking to start-up their career should give this a try. The audio interface is as good as any and works perfectly. I have kind of got to the point where it may be the cheapest thing in my set-up but it still delivers perfectly. The headphones aren’t too bad but I’d recommend you buy Monitors. The Mic is pretty good and records a rather crisp sound.
I’d say you’d be better off buying each item separately so you know exactly what you are buying but if you are short for money, I honestly think this is worth more than it is sold for by 100.
I’m very new to PC-based home studio stuff & this is good gear for a good price. The software suite (and its various plug-ins) is a lot to digest & can be easy to get overwhelmed…but the documentation is good. I highly recommend going through the tutorial. You’ll be well on your way to having a successful home-studio experience.
Love this piece of kit….links well with IPad and speakers…I am a complete novice and I could easily connect it.
questa scheda audio davvero performante e permette di registrare i vostri brani in modo facile e professionale, considerando il prezzo questo kit davvero molto buono e rispecchia a pieno il rapporto qualit/prezzo lo consiglio.
This home recording system is extremely user friendly. The sound and pro quality effects are superb, resulting in as good a demo as you are going to get outside of a pro studio.
Bought 2 one for my husband and one for my son. Both say it is fantastic and the software is second to none. Such good value with this package. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Amazing product works fantastically get this set as the headphones are spot on not used the mic yet but connected it to the iPad and it’s so handy . Can’t rate this product highly enough and it’s so cheap for what you ge
Ho comprato il bundle presonus con microfono, cuffie e cavo incluso + software che puoi scaricare dal loro sito insieme ad i driver presonus per far funzionare la scheda su windows.
Un consiglio sincero, io non s molto su come si possano sentire le altre schede, ma questa la mia prima scheda audio e comparandola a qualche altra tipo la focustrite tramite ci che ascolto nei video dimostrazione su youtube, direi che non ha nulla da invidiarle!!!
Tutto arrivato perfettamente funzionante, e nulla mi ha deluso, anzi, direi che con questo prezzo vi portate a casa una scheda davvero ottima, di qualit ed anche molto bella da vedere per quanto mi riguarda!
Potete regolare gain cuffia e delle due entrate senza problemi, avere controllo veloce di input/output ed effettuare registrazioni 24bit senza problemi.
voto scheda audio 10/10
Le cuffie sono dotate di entrambi i connettori, sia jack piccolo che grande, hanno un volume non molto alto se connesse direttamente al pc, ma connesse alla scheda direi perfette per mixare ed il volume non un problema (se alzate tutti i gain vi consiglio na visita dopo 😛 ), anzi…..le reputo davvero ottime, ci ho gi mixato 3 mie produzioni, le adoro e sono molto comode.
voto cuffie 9/10
Il microfono m7 presente nel pacchetto l’unico componente della dotazione che lascia pi a desiderare, ma praticamente regalato dato che le cuffie valgono 50 e la scheda tra 120-130 !! (il cavo xlr fornito ha cmq un valore)
Ed io ho comunque voluto registarci una mia canzone, tutta, pi di 4 minuti! vi assicuro che con un buon mix, anche con questo microfono potrete produrre una canzone di buona qualit, non stellare ma pi che dignitosa!
voto microfono 6/10
Il cavo blu xlr presente a me piace un casino gi solo per il colore (il mio preferito 😀 ) apparte ci, a livello tecnico, il cavo un low noise e f il suo mestiere, porta il segnale dal microfono alla scheda audio senza nessun tipo di rumore. Molto silenzioso.
voto cavo 10/10
Il software fornito scaricabile dal sito insieme ai driver della scheda.
Si tratta di studio one alla versione corrente, ora la terza versione.
Ottimo software anche se personalmente preferisco di gran lunga reaper.
Ci che mi f storcere il naso il non poter cambiare i colori delle tracce in questa versione (la artist)…
Per il resto simile a molte daw (programmi per far musica) in giro, anche se con un interessante ”drag and drop” molto veloce, potrete spostare i suoni ed i vst in progetto.
voto software 7/10
A mia opinione questo bundle presonus vale ci che costa, e magari anche qualcosina in pi 🙂
Contento di aver scelto presonus.
voto bundle 10/10
I really like this kit. I record song demos that include two guitars, bass and vocals and I have had cero issues so far.
The included software is easy enough for me that had very little previous experience.
Really pleased with this hardware. Good studio quality sound achieved using iPad and GarageBand. The headphones are brilliant. The Microphone also works well but does not perform as well as a Shure dynamic mic but overall it’s amazing value for money. I spent months comparing USB interfaces before getting this. I give it 4 stars as I have had problems getting the desktop software to run on a PC despite meeting minimum requirements. It doesn’t charge the IPad and it’s not portable unless you have a separate USB power source ie Laptop.
This is an amazing bundle for a anyone! I have only recently starting recording my own music and I am so happy with this purchase. The Presonus sound card is such good value for money, i have no trouble with latency or clipping. The microphone again is fantastic, i tried it out recording drums, and there was practically no clipping. Headphones are brilliant, you can really and clearly hear all the different frequencies, which makes mixing a lot better. Studio One again brilliant, kinda similar to a logic Pro X (the one i use at college). Only issue with the DAW is that it isn’t user friendly, but im not bothered by that, plus there tutorial videos on the presonus website, so there is really no excuse to not become acquainted with it.
Would defiantly buy again if i needed to.
Il prodotto un entry level ma di buona fattura. Consigliato a chi vuole un prodotto affidabile. Unica pecca, le cuffie. Il cavo fragile nella parte del jack.
This is a great starter package which seems to be capable of producing excellent results. Really good value. The iTwo Studio is very versatile, and I’ve used it to record instruments, line level inputs, MIDI, and mic. The microphone is surprisingly good, although I’m recording in far from studio conditions and so can’t really compare it with serious kit. Headphones are relatively comfortable and do the job. All in all, a great package. I bought a shock mount for the mic which I think is pretty important, but it wasn’t expensive: Wanway Set of 2 – Shock Mount + Pop Filter,Wind Screen Pop Filter Swivel Mount with Flexible Gooseneck and Metal Shock Mount Black Microphone Bracket Shockproof Mic Studio Holder
The interface works nicely with iPad too, and unlike many of its peers, has a separate socket for power, meaning that you avoid having to hack the USB chain to manage that.
The software “bundled” (downloadable) Mac software, Studio One v3, looks excellent but has a steep, complex learning curve. I so far am sticking with Garageband for ease, but once I start doing anything serious I aim to migrate, either to this (attractive because I have it for free, but looks quite challenging) or Logic (150 or so, but loads more tutorials and more intuitive I think coming from Garageband). Anyway – you get Studio One included, and it looks hugely capable and versatile.
There’s also an app for the iPad, Capture, which handles recording; sadly it doesn’t do MIDI recording, and so you are limited to audio signals only. I haven’t explored yet how well recordings from Capture come into projects you’re working on in Studio One, but that’s the claim. The stereo version of Capture is free; multi-track costs a few .
Overall I think this is an extremely versatile and high-quality piece of gear for the price and have no hesitation in recommending it.
Best bit of kit on the market for the price amazing
Arrive on time,
But about the package, I did not see any outer packing, just arrive with the original box, no cover.
anyway the item is good, work great with Cubase.
I wanted something to make the most of garageband and add some ooomph to my website.
I ordered it on this basis of some great communication with djandstudio as well as various you tube videos to ascertain whether or not I really need such an item. I was pleased with the answers combined and ideas came to mind of how this may be utilised with some other work ideas I had, vimeo vids for my clients and now podcasts easily integrated into my self managed website. I am not proficient in an instrument, i enjoy making noises. I work in healthcare not any technical industry. Im handy and curious with gadgets.
So, i took the plunge and ordered. As usual with Amazon it arrives ridiculously quickly the following day.
I finished work and summoned up the courage to ‘play’ with my new toy. Easily within the hour I had recorded some acoustic guitar with, lets call it singing! I can then share to my itunes and simply share, save, embed all over the place.
I am lucky enough to own a macbook which may have made this simple.
I looked at system settings and ‘presonus’ was there waiting to be clicked. (i may not have needed to though!!)
In garageband, preferences, audio, in & out need to be on presonus, (again, option was there waiting for me).
From the you tube tutorials I have watched I think presonus’s software looks far more detailed and thorough which is too much for me, (at the moment).however I respect the effort and the fact its available to me. And the price is sensational for the work that has gone into it.
Thank you very much, I have much to learn,
best wishes,

Ottimo prodotto. Il microfono un po’ una cinesata ma il suono arriva in macchina pulito e cristallino. Basso il volume cuffia (ma si sapeva) e ancora devo capire bene il calibro della manopola mix. Se volete evitare di comprare un mixer, ci sta dentro il giusto.
good but gets a little interference and a little noisy. quite hard to get started . Need to persevere or maybe it’s just me
I’m a complete beginner at home recording running Windows 10 on 2 year old acer laptop. In previous bands I’ve recorded an album and three ep in professional studios so, like most bass players, I think I know most everything about recording.
Set up was easy, features are great and the sound quality is excellent. In just under two weeks I’ve recorded 3 songs to well above demo quality and now embark on the adventure of mixing them. The microphone (just used for vocals so far) and headphones provide a quality experience and seem to be more than suited to the job. The Akai LPK25 is a cheap and really useful addition. I’ve just ordered some midi cables to hook in a Korg Volca Bass and a (really old) Boss DR-550, so that should be fun. The studio software provided is also really good, so good in fact that I’m not thinking about a mac and logic (just yet).
Highly recommend this product, great sounds, great features and great fun.
Bundle ottimo per chi vuole iniziare a registrare con una buona qualit.
La scheda; ottima la funzione che permette di interfacciare la scheda con iPad, permettendo di usare quest’ultimo come registratore e trasferire la traccia successivamente via wi-fi su mac.Restituisce una buona qualit audio esente da fruscii e interferenze (utilizzare utilizzando il volume in ingresso a poco pi della met)
Le cuffie restituiscono una buona qualit (non sono completamente chiuse, quindi occhio per chi le usa per registrare la voce, c’ il rischio che venga presa assieme alla base musicale)
Il microfono valido, per registrazioni amatoriali.
Nel complesso sono soddisfatto. Buono strumento
I didn’t care too much for the DAW software included with the bundle, but overall this is something I would recommend to anybody trying to find a budget effective recording set up.
Mon premier matos de mao !! C’est gnial facile et performant.je ne regrette pas mon achat et je le recommande
ich bin sehr sehr zufrieden mit meinem Atikel die ich von Music Town gekauft habe. Die lieferung kam Pnktlich sogar ein Tag vor dem Lieferungstermin. Es war alles in Ordnung gesewesen. Mein Artikel wurde spt versand, aber wie gesagt, er kam Pnktlich.
ich wurde es weiter empfehlen.
Great piece of kit. Now I have to get my head around how to use i
