DIGIDESIGN MBOX 2 PRO MAC AND PC 6-IN/8-OUT 24-BIT/96-KHZ FIREWIRE AUDIO MIDI INTERFACE WITH MAC/PC PRO TOOLS LE AND IGNITION PACK SOFTWARE
Digidesign Mbox 2 Pro FireWire Audio MIDI interface will be used not only in home studios, but by professionals who need a portable FireWire audio interface for editing tracks on location and while traveling, for tracking smaller sessions, for mixing on the run, and for working on projects from home or project studios, then taking those projects into Pro Tools TDM-based studios for the finishing touches. The Mbox 2 Pro improves on the MBox 2 by adding FireWire connectivity, giving you the ability to use up to four simultaneous inputs, six inputs using the S/PDIF ins and external clocking, and 8 simultaneous outputs.
The front panel of the Digidesign Mbox 2 Pro offers plenty of easily accessed control, with indicators for power, external clock sync, and MIDI activity. Two 1/4" headphone jacks, each with its own dedicated volume knob for creating two independent headphone mixes using the 3/4 button, and the monitor output volume knob. Stereo Aux Input control, with accompanying peak LED and switch/indicator for phono operation. On the right are two inputs, each with a level control, peak LED indicator, and switches for selecting either the front-panel 1/4" Hi-Z guitar and bass DI jacks or the rear-panel Mic/Line-level XLR/TRS combo inputs.
The rear panel of the Digidesign Mbox 2 Pro mounts an array input/output options: 2 1/4-inch/XLR combo mic/line inputs, stereo Aux Input with a choice of 1/4-inch line inputs or RCA RIAA phono turntable inputs with a grounding lug, stereo 1/4" monitor outputs, 4 1/4-inch line outputs, S/PDIF digital I/O on coaxial connections, along with line outs 5/6 on a single 1/4" jack, a footswitch jack, MIDI in and out (with time-stamping), and two FireWire ports for connecting the unit to your computer and daisy-chaining additional FireWire gear. Of special note are the word clock input and output on BNC connectors, for synchronizing the Mbox 2 Pro to the rest of your digital gear. The back panel is rounded out with a connector for the external 12VDC power supply.
Digidesign Mbox 2 Pro runs Digidesign's powerful Pro Tools LE recording and sequencing software. Not only does Pro Tools LE give you as much tracking, editing, processing, and mixing power as you need to do even large projects, but you can easily open up the Pro Tools LE session in a profession Digidesign Pro Tools TDM system with all its settings and plug-ins intact. Also bundled with the MBox 2 Pro is the Ignition Pack with Ableton Live Lite, Propellerhead Reason Adapted, FXpansion BFD Lite, Celemony Melodyne Uno Essential, IK Multimedia Samplitude 2 SE, Amplitube LE, and Tracks EQ, an instructional DVD, and a REX file CD.
