Tightly Integrated Software As You Expect from PreSonus!

PreSonus is famous for its tightly integrated hardware/software solutions, and the AudioBox i series is no exception. Of course you get Studio One Artist. But we didn't stop there!

Studio One Artist Lets You Focus on Your Music

Like all PreSonus interfaces and digital mixers, the AudioBox iOne and iTwo come with our award-winning, all-muscle, no-bloat Studio One Artist recording and production software for Mac® and Windows®. Studio One is incredibly easy to use thanks to its clear, straightforward, single-window design and powerful file browser with extensive use of drag-and-drop. As a result, you can record your inspirations quickly, without getting distracted by the tools. Tasks that would require multiple steps in other DAWs can be done in just one or two steps with Studio One.

In addition, Studio One Artist includes a wealth of professional-quality plug-ins, virtual instruments, sounds, and loops. If you want even more, there's a low-cost upgrade path to Studio One Producer and Professional. We could fill an entire Web site with information and videos about Studio One. In fact, we have!

Get it in your iPad too!

Studio One Artist is excellent for Mac and Windows but you probably want to record on your iPad too. That's why we created free Capture Duo two-track recording software for iPad. Based on PreSonus Capture live-recording software for StudioLive mixers, Capture Duo lets you record two stereo tracks using the AudioBox iOne or iTwo or any other iPad interface that supports Core Audio for iPad, including the iPad's built-in mic.

Because it's preconfigured for the AudioBox i series interfaces, which are class-compliant for the iPad (so they don’t need drivers), you simply connect the AudioBox iOne or iTwo to your iPad, launch Capture Duo, and you're ready to record.

If two tracks isn't enough, no worries! Just go to the App Store and purchase the low-cost, multitrack Capture for iPad. With Capture for iPad, you can record up to 32 tracks with 24-bit, 96 kHz fidelity.

Capture on iPad and Transfer to Studio One Wirelessly!

You read that right! With Capture Duo or Capture for iPad and an AudioBox i-series interface, you can record with your iPad, then wirelessly transfer your recordings directly from your iPad to a Mac or PC running Studio One. Then edit, sweeten, overdub, and mix with the power of a world-class DAW.

We've said many times that tightly integrated hardware and software helps you accomplish your musical goals in ways that hardware or software alone can't do. With AudioBox iOne or iTwo, Capture Duo/Capture for iPad, and Studio One, hardware devices and software apps are integrated in one seamless system so you can record and produce your music anytime and anywhere.

Class A All the Way

PreSonus award-winning analog signal processors and microphone preamps have long been popular among top professionals and home enthusiasts alike. So when you see the name PreSonus, you expect top audio quality and the AudioBox i series delivers.

Heavy Metal Never Weighed So Little!

AudioBox iOne and iTwo are mobile interfaces in the best sense of the term. They can sit on a tabletop or fit in the pocket of a backpack or laptop bag and are powered by the USB bus, so you don't have to mess with a wall wart� power supply or AC cord. And they're built to withstand the rigors of travel.

Two to Go, Please!

The AudioBox i series consists of two great 24-bit, 96 kHz mobile-recording solutions: the compact AudioBox iTwo and subcompact AudioBox iOne.

Both the AudioBox iOne and iTwo offer the features, high-end audio quality, and legendary PreSonus software integration that makes the i series special. Both are two-in, two-out audio interfaces with left and right balanced ¼� audio outputs and one headphone out.

Here are the differences:

The iOne has one instrument input and one microphone input. It’s perfect for a singer/songwriter who plays guitar or bass. The iTwo has two combo mic/instrument/line inputs, so it’s the way to go for recording in stereo with mics or a keyboard and for capturing duets, such as two guitars, two singers, or guitar and bass.

The iTwo has MIDI I/O; the iOne does not.

The iTwo also has a Mix knob that blends the live inputs with the return streams from the computer for zero-latency monitoring; the iOne has a fixed 50/50 low-latency monitoring blend using the Direct button.

Finally, the iTwo is compact and lightweight but the iOne is even smaller and lighter a subcompact, if you will.

Otherwise, the features, capabilities, audio quality, construction quality, and included software of the two units are identical.

Computer system requirements:

Below are the minimum computer-system requirements for the AudioBox iOne and AudioBox iTwo:

Windows

  • Windows® 7 x64/x86 SP1, Windows 8 x64/x86 or later
  • Intel Core Duo processor (Intel Core i3 or better recommended)
  • 4 GB RAM (8 GB or more recommended)


Mac

  • Mac® OS X 10.7.5 or later
  • Intel Core Duo processor (Intel Core i3 or better recommended)
  • 4 GB RAM (8 GB or more recommended)


Windows and Mac Systems

  • USB 2.0 Port
  • Internet connection for registration and download of included software
  • Internal or external 7200 RPM storage drive highly recommended
  • Monitor with at least 1280x800 resolution


Apple iPad

  • iPad Air, iPad mini with Retina display, iPad (4th generation), iPad mini, iPad (3rd generation), iPad 2
  • iOS 7.0.1 or higher

The minimum system requirements may differ for DAWs other than Studio One. Please check the requirements for your DAW of choice with its manufacturer.

Note that the speed of your processor, amount of RAM and size and speed of your hard drive will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system. Also, a more powerful system (faster processor with more RAM) will allow for lower latency (signal delay) than you might experience while monitoring audio or MIDI signals. Monitor resolution for both PC and Macintosh should be no lower than 1024x768 pixels.
