I'm a podcaster, what if I need to record up to two microphones simultaneously during my recording session?
The AudioBox iOne has one XLR and one 1/4 inch jack input and therefore can record a single microphone and guitar only, however, the iOne's bigger brother the AudioBox iTwo features TWO combo mic and switchable line/instrument inputs which will allow you to record from two separate microphone sources, i.e for Interviews or recording multiple instruments.
