Your Press Conference Solution
AudioPressBox is a professional audio distribution solution designed to streamline press conferences, events, and media briefings by providing high-quality, clean audio feeds to multiple recording and broadcasting devices simultaneously.
It acts as a mult box (multiple audio output device), splitting an incoming audio signal into numerous outputs, ensuring all connected devices receive an isolated, interference-free audio source.
Advantages of Using a Mult Box at a Press Conference
A mult box (or press box) is a vital tool for ensuring seamless audio distribution at press conferences. Its advantages include:
- High-Quality Audio: It provides a clean and consistent audio feed to multiple devices, ensuring clear sound for all media outlets.
- Equal Access: Every journalist can connect their recording equipment, ensuring no one is left out.
- Efficiency: Simplifies the setup by reducing the need for multiple microphones or tangled cables, streamlining the event.
- Professionalism: Demonstrates attention to detail and ensures a smooth, organized press conference, reflecting well on the host.
By using a mult box, organizers ensure fairness, clarity, and professionalism, benefiting both the media and the event’s credibility.
Disadvantages of Not Using a Mult Box at a Press Conference
A mult box (or press box) ensures that multiple audio feeds can be distributed evenly to all media outlets at a press conference. Without one, several issues arise:
- Audio Quality Degradation: Directly connecting multiple devices to a single output may cause signal interference, leading to poor audio clarity and inconsistent levels.
- Limited Access: Without a mult box, only a limited number of outlets can connect to the main audio source, leaving some journalists without access.
- Clutter and Chaos: Journalists may scramble to connect their equipment, resulting in tangled cables and a lack of organization.
- Professionalism (not) and Efficiency (not): The absence of a mult box can delay proceedings and reflect poorly on the organizers.
Using a mult box ensures smooth operation and equal access for all media, fostering a more professional and efficient press event.

AudioPressBox is a professional audio distribution amplifier system designed specifically for press conferences, media events, and other situations where multiple journalists, reporters, or media outlets need high-quality audio feeds from a single audio source.
The equipment in the diagram shows how an APB-320-C-D-USB mult box functions to distribute audio signals at an event such as a press conference. Here’s how it works:
- Audio Input: A microphone or mixer connects to the input channel of the mult box. This is the main source of the audio signal.
- Audio Signal Splitting: The mult box takes the incoming audio signal and distributes it evenly across multiple output ports. Each output provides a clean and isolated feed, preventing interference between connected devices.
- Output Options: There are multiple types of outputs available, including XLR and USB-C. These accommodate a variety of recording devices such as cameras, audio recorders, smartphones and other broadcasting equipment.
- USB Connectivity: The mult box includes a USB interface, allowing the audio signal to be directly routed to a computer or digital recording device. This is useful for live streaming or digital archiving.
- Power Source: The unit can be powered via an AC adapter or batteries, ensuring portability and reliability in various event settings.
- Ground Lift and Isolation: The device likely includes ground-lift switches to eliminate hum and electrical interference, ensuring pristine audio quality for all outputs.
This setup ensures that all connected media devices receive an equal-quality audio feed, simplifying the recording process and enhancing the professionalism of the event.

FAQ
What is AudioPressBox?
AudioPressBox is a professional audio distribution system (press box / mult box) that provides clean, isolated audio feeds for journalists, cameras, smartphones, and recorders at press conferences and media events. It ensures every device receives noise-free, balanced audio.
How does a press box (mult box) work?
A press box takes one audio source—such as a microphone or mixer—and splits it into multiple isolated outputs. Each output has its own transformer isolation and level control, preventing interference, hum, or signal drop when many journalists connect simultaneously.
Why do I need a press box for a press conference?
Without a press box, journalists are forced to share a single output, which causes signal degradation, noise, and chaos. A press box guarantees equal access, consistent sound quality, and a professional, organized event.
Does AudioPressBox support USB-C recording?
Yes. Many AudioPressBox units include USB-C outputs, allowing direct digital recording into laptops, smartphones, or tablets—perfect for live streaming, remote journalism, and online media.
What is the advantage of Dante-enabled AudioPressBox?
Dante allows audio to be sent over a standard network cable with perfect synchronization and zero loss. Dante AudioPressBox units integrate seamlessly with AV networks, matrices, and broadcast workflows.
Can AudioPressBox power condenser microphones?
Yes. Input modules provide 24V or 48V phantom power, so any professional condenser microphone can be connected without additional power supplies.
How many outputs can I get with AudioPressBox?
You can start with small units and expand to hundreds of outputs. Dante models allow you to chain multiple expanders, creating large press setups for summits, government announcements, and sports events.
Can AudioPressBox be installed permanently?
Yes. There are wall-mount, rack-mount, and built-in installation models for conference halls, parliaments, stadiums, and broadcast studios. Integrators can combine analog, Dante, and USB-C versions depending on project needs.
Is AudioPressBox battery-powered?
Many portable models include a rechargeable battery pack. This allows fully mobile press conferences outdoors or in locations with no power access, with up to 10 hours of runtime.
Can AudioPressBox improve video-conference audio quality?
Yes. AudioPressBox provides clean, consistent audio from microphones or mixers to multiple devices, which can then feed video-conference platforms like Zoom, Teams, or Webex. It eliminates hum, level jumps, and low signal problems common in improvised setups.
