Presonus AudioBox USB/ Midi 44VSL
The AudioBox 44VSL is the second model in a new generation
of PreSonus USB 2.0 audio/MIDI interfaces that take hardware/software
integration to the logical next step. Using your computer CPU and PreSonus Virtual
StudioLive™ (VSL) software, AudioBox VSL-series interfaces provide reverb
and and delay effects and the same Fat Channel compression, limiting,
semi-parametric EQ, and high-pass filter, as the PreSonus StudioLive™
16.0.2digital mixer— all with inaudible latency.
Furthermore, thanks to the power of VSL, the AudioBox 44VSL
includes an 8x4 software mixer. As a result, with just an AudioBox 44VSL and
your laptop or other computer running VSL, you can mix a studio session or a
live show featuring, say, a guitar duo with vocals, a small band, a DJ rig with
mixer and stereo synthesizer, or a panel discussion—all while monitoring and
recording with or without real-time processing! And you can do it simply and
easily, with no hardware mixer, no outboard effects rack, and minimal wiring,
thanks to the tight integration between PreSonus hardware and software.
To top it off, while the classic PreSonus AudioBox USB is a
fine-sounding unit, the new AudioBox VSL series sounds even better, with
24-bit, 96 kHz recording and top-of-the-line PreSonus XMAX™ preamps.
What’s so great about
effects and processing on monitors?
Tracking without hearing effects and signal processing is
like playing a video game with your eyes closed. Musicians rely on aural cues
when performing, and their performance can vary depending on what they hear in
their monitors. Adding just the right amount of compression, EQ, and reverb can
make a huge difference in their ability to hear themselves clearly and to
experience their performance as if it occurred in a natural space rather than
in the artificial sonic environment of the studio. The result is a better
performance and ultimately a better recording.
You have plenty of effects plug-ins for your DAW, but
processing audio with a DAW takes more time than you might think. True, we’re
talking milliseconds, but it’s long enough that if you put DAW effects in your
studio monitors, you’ll hear the original sound slightly before the processed
signal, which is very disorienting. That much delay might be acceptable for
live gigs, where the band is playing together in an ambient space that has
natural delay. But you can’t record that way in the studio.
Fortunately, our engineering wizards have dramatically
reduced processing delay in the AudioBox VSL series. The result: dynamics
processing, EQ, reverb, and effects that feel real, with no audible delay.
And if you like what you hear, you can record with AudioBox
VSL-series effects, too! These are the same high-quality StudioLive 16.0.2 Fat
Channel dynamics processors and EQs that professional musicians, engineers, and
producers record with every day.
Great processors are
a PreSonus tradition
We didn’t invent the first audio interface with effects. We
simply did it better and for less money. Sure, some interface manufacturers that
don’t normally make signal processors have added a compressor, EQ and a few
effects to their interfaces. But the AudioBox VSL series provides all that,
plus a separate limiter, expander, and high-pass filter—and we’ve been making
high-quality signal processors since 1995. The AudioBox VSL-series’ Virtual
StudioLive (VSL)-based effects and Fat Channel processing have been extensively
field-tested and proven popular by tens of thousands of StudioLive™-series
mixer users, including many top professionals.
Of great importance, thanks to VSL’s drag-and-drop
convenience, adding processing and creating and loading presets is easy.
Pro-level processing and superior ease of use mean you’ll get better results
and have more fun!
High-end sound
Compact and rugged, the AudioBox 44VSL offers two convenient
front-panel mic/instrument combo inputs and two mic/instrument combo inputs,
global phantom power, and a total of six line-level outputs. It sports the same
high-headroom, Class A XMAX preamps as the StudioLive mixers and has 24-bit, 96
kHz converters with 114 dB dynamic range for clear, clean audio. And it boasts
PreSonus’ legendary 120 mW headphone output, which is loud enough to explode
the oysters in a Po ’-Boy sandwich. (Be careful
with your level control!)
The superior sound of PreSonus preamplifiers has long been a
major reason that so many audio professionals prefer PreSonus interfaces. The
XMAX is the finest solid-state preamplifier we make, offering three key
advantages:
1. High Voltage.
The XMAX preamplifier runs on
power rails of 30V. Most off-the-shelf, op-amp-based designs run on power rails
of 10V to 18V. Higher-voltage power rails deliver more headroom, deeper lows,
smoother highs, and a richer overall sound.
2. Discrete components — not op-amps.
We only use genuine transistors, resistors,
and capacitors for ultra-low noise and transparency. Op-amps add noise,
coloration, and harshness to a signal.
3. Class A circuitry.
Class A circuits have no
crossover distortion and deliver purer, clearer, and more musical results than
the Class AB designs that are found in many preamps.
The net result of the XMAX preamp design is high headroom,
low noise, wide dynamic range, extended frequency response, and—most
important—musicality and transparency, with smooth highs; solid, deep lows; and
everything in between.
Built for the rigors
of the road
PreSonus gear has a well-earned reputation for extreme
roadworthiness, and the AudioBox 44VSL is no exception. It employs a heavy-duty
steel case that is every bit as rugged as that of the smaller AudioBox 22VSL
and original AudioBox USB—the
unit we famously stomped, kicked, and drove over with a full-size truck before
using it to make a very nice recording. (You can witness this in the video AudioBox USB Built for the Road.) Now that’s what
we call “roadworthy.” And it fits in a half-rackspace and can be screw-mounted
to a standard rack tray (not included).
The flexibility and
power of software
VSL enables you to easily manage the processing and mixing
from your Mac® or Windows® PC and provides editor/librarian functions, making
it simple to create and use a library of presets. To get you started, we’ve
included the same library of more than 50 Fat Channel presets that comes with
StudioLive mixers. These presets were created by professional musicians and
engineers and let you instantly set up dynamics processing and EQ for vocals,
guitar, and much more.
Seamlessly integrated with the included Studio
One™ Artist DAW and VSL, the AudioBox 44VSL interface works with
virtually all Mac and Windows audio-recording software. And unlike most things
nowadays, it’s very easy on your budget.
So get the next-generation USB 2.0 interface that gives you
real-time, low-latency effects; rock-solid construction; software mixing; and
high-end audio for low-end prices: AudioBox 44VSL!
