Super-quiet dual mic preamp and direct box.

The Audio Buddy from M-Audio is an ultra-quiet 2-channel preamp that offers the features and performance you need to track great-sounding music in your computer. Each channel offers individually adjustable gain, a balanced XLR with phantom power or a 1/4" instrument level input, and independent 1/4" outputs (unbalanced or balanced TRS). The direct box functionality of the M-Audio Audio Buddy allows high impedance signals from sources such as guitars or basses for recording with optimal results.

M-Audio Audio Buddy Features:

  • Ultra-quiet 2-channel preamp
  • Each channel offers individually adjustable gain
  • Balanced XLR with phantom power or a 1/4" instrument level input
  • Independent 1/4" outputs (unbalanced or balanced TRS)
  • Direct box functionality

The Great Little Box for less $

When I first got this little box a year ago I thought it would never stand up to the abuse and destruction like the rest of our equipment goes through but I was wrong. This little box is great for starters but I strongly recommend moving to something a little more upscale like the MOTU HD192 and the M-Audio ProjectMix. We use both as our main units and keep a bunch of AudioBuddys on hand for our bigger rig-ups.

M-Audio Audio Buddy

The M-Audio Audio Buddy is a great tool for musicians who are just getting into recording. It is both a direct box and a mic pre amp, so it will help you capture both instruments and vocals. The only down side to this unit is the quality at which it outputs Bass levels. For the price though, it can't be beat.

Lucian Calugaru, Home Musician, Guitar Player

The best $54 I ever spent. I have a Delta 44 sound card and Cubase LE that came in package with an Alesis USB 6 ch mixer. The combination Delta 44 + Cubase needs a little bust especially for guitar. I used to get some gain from the Cubase's effects suite with acceptable results. I am now using the M-Audio buddy to front my Delta 44. This little pre-am is cute, clean, it has plenty of gain, very well built, it has clip lights to indicate too high of an input level. It perfectly matches the Delta 44 + Cubase LE package. Buy it!

Not Much Headroom, Plenty of Noise

It clips like crazy with drums, vocals aren't very clear, and the bass response is terrible. But then, what can you expect from a dual preamp for eighty bucks? On the bright side, it works okay for a mildly distorted guitar cab.
