The 25th-Anniversary Black PreSonus AudioBox Studio Ultimate Bundle is a deluxe hardware and software recording collection that combines a 25th-Anniversary Black AudioBox USB 96 audio/MIDI interface, Studio One Artist recording and production software, an M7 large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone with a desktop tripod stand, Eris E3.5 3.5" 2-way 25W studio monitors, a pair of HD7 over-ear headphones, and all the cables needed to interconnect this all-in-one solution for musicians and engineers producing professional music in the comfort of their own home. The AudioBox USB 96 offers two XLR-1/4" combo inputs capable of recording dynamic/condenser microphones and instruments via its Class-A preamps and 24-bit / 96 kHz converters. The interface is bus-powered and lightweight, making it an ideal portable interface that is compatible with Mac and Windows computers. The Studio One Artist software is an easy-to-use DAW that delivers unlimited audio tracks, MIDI, virtual instruments, busses, and FX channels. The software offers powerful drag-and-drop functionality and a single-window work environment. The software ships with 26 native effects and loads of third-party software, loops, and instruments. Also included with the AudioBox 96 Studio Ultimate is the Studio Magic Plug-In Suite, a bundle with Ableton Live Lite, tutorials from Melodics, six virtual instruments, and nine popular plug-ins in VST, AU, and AAX formats. The M7 is a large-diaphragm condenser mic with a cardioid polar pattern, which yields focused frontal pickup and solid off-axis rejection. Its wide frequency response (40 Hz to 18 kHz) and robust SPL handling (136 dB max) make it a capable mic for vocals and an array of instruments. The HD7 over-ear headphones utilize 50mm neodymium drivers to deliver a frequency response of 10 Hz to 30 kHz with a sensitivity of 98 dB SPL, while their leather earpads provide comfort for long listening sessions. Connect the supplied Eris E3.5 25W studio monitors to hear your mixes through 3.5" Kevlar woofers and silk-dome tweeters.
