Mbox 2 is the next-generation Mbox—Avid’s most popular personal studio product ever thanks to its ease of use, portability, singular design, compelling software components (Pro Tools LE, included plug-ins, and additional value-added software), sound quality, and affordable price point. Featuring a wide range of connection options, including analog, digital, and MIDI I/O, Mbox 2 delivers professional performance in an incredibly compact package. Mbox 2 includes award-winning, easy-to-use Avid Pro Tools LE software—offering many of the same features that top studios rely on to record, edit, mix, and master commercial albums and blockbuster film sound. Mbox 2 also includes the Pro Tools Ignition Pack, featuring several powerful plug-ins, applications, and additional tools to help you professionally produce and expose your music.

New in Mbox 2:

Improved sound quality: Mbox 2 features new mic preamps (designed by Avid) that offer better sonic specifications than the mic preamps on the original Mbox

MIDI in/out: Unlike the original Mbox, Mbox 2 features a MIDI in/out port, offering improved integration with MIDI controllers, hardware synthesizers and samplers, and virtual instruments

More tools: Mbox 2 includes much more free software and tools (Pro Tools Ignition Pack) than the original Mbox—offering several powerful software applications, plug-ins, and other valuable tools to help get customers started creating right out of the box.

More simultaneous I/O: Unlike the original Mbox, Mbox 2 allows customers to use the two analog inputs in conjunction with the two channels of S/PDIF digital input on the unit—allowing for four simultaneous channels of audio I/O.

More flexible industrial design: Mbox 2 features a sleek, more practical and flexible design which allows the unit to lie down flat, sit with a convenient upwards tilt for easy access to the front panel controls, or simply stand vertically to fit smaller workspaces.
