Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it's versatile enough for acoustic guitar and other instruments, though a higher-end condenser would offer more nuanced detail and dynamic range.
Absolutely; the AudioBox's outputs are standard, so you can easily swap out the Eris 3.5s and M7 for higher-performing alternatives as your needs and budget evolve.
