Details

The Presonus AudioBox 1818 VSL is a USB 2.0 audio/MIDI recording interface with six mic/line inputs and two mic/instruments inputs, each with a crystal-clear, high-headroom XMAX preamp. The AudioBox 1818VSL is ideal for recording full band sessions. Want to track the whole band at once and send to multiple sets of monitors, headphone amps, and outboard gear? Connect a PreSonus® DigiMax™ D8 or DigiMax DP88 8-channel preamp/converter via ADAT Optical and a digital device via S/PDIF for a total of 18 inputs and 18 outputs.

The AudioBox 1818VSL records and plays back at sampling rates up to 96 kHz, with remarkably low noise. It features the same Class A XMAX microphone preamplifiers as our StudioLive AI mixers, which are found in recording studios and live venues the world over. The result is clean, pure, audiophile-quality sound.

The AudioBox 1818VSL's two combo mic/instrument and six combo mic/line inputs make it extremely versatile, enabling you to use it with microphones, guitars, keyboards, DJ gear, and more. But that's just the start: The 1818VSL is loaded with features that make it suitable for almost any studio situation and on the road.
