Digidesign's Mbox 2 Mini is one of the smallest, most affordable Pro Tools LE system ever! Whether you're a singer/songwriter who's new to recording or a seasoned pro on the go, Mbox 2 Mini packs professional features into a robust, ultra compact, easy-to-use audio workstation to record and mix music wherever your inspiration takes you. And with its diminutive size, Mbox 2 Mini literally puts the power of Pro Tools in the palm of your hand. It comes with award-winning, easy-to-use Pro Tools LE software, which provides you with many of the same tools the pros use on major recordings and in films. And because Pro Tools is the industry standard, you can use your Mbox 2 Mini-recorded sessions in any Pro Tools-equipped studio around the world.

Digidesign Mbox 2 Mini at a Glance:
  • Totally portable recording solution
  • Digidesign quality and 24-bit/48kHz resolution
  • Exclusive 24/7 Sweetwater Support
  • Easy to use hardware and software
  • Includes dozens of plug-in effects and instruments
  • Pro Tools 8 - the same software the pros use

Totally portable recording solution
Carrying Mbox 2 Mini is an effortless feat thanks to its small size. Toss it in your bag or carry it in hand. Because Mbox 2 Mini is solidly built, it can withstand being jostled and knocked around. And with its USB-powered ability, you needn't worry about scrounging around for a power outlet to start working whenever - and wherever - inspiration strikes. Mbox 2 Mini gives you the freedom and flexibility to record and mix Pro Tools sessions anywhere you travel - sessions that can be used in Pro Tools-equipped studios around the world.

Digidesign quality and 24-bit/48kHz resolution
Mbox 2 Mini - like the rest of the Mbox 2 family - was designed by Digidesign, makers of professional, industry-standard Pro Tools|HD hardware. That means you can expect premium hardware design, high-quality internal components, and superior sound quality and reliability. Mbox 2 Mini supports up to 24-bit/48 kHz audio resolution, delivering stellar sound at better than CD-quality audio. And its robust metal enclosure can withstand all the bumps and knocks that come with being toted around everywhere you go.

Easy to use hardware and software
Mbox 2 Mini and Pro Tools LE software are easy to use, meaning you'll spend more time creating and mixing music than futzing around with convoluted controls and settings. If you're new to digital recording and wondering how to connect your microphone, guitar, bass, or keyboard to your computer to make a recording, Mbox 2 Mini enables you to easily do just that and capture your performances with amazing ease. Simply attach Mbox 2 Mini to your computer using the included USB cable, plug your instruments directly into Mbox 2 Mini, and you're ready to rock (or get funky, or scat, or do whatever it is that you do). Plus the included Pro Tools Method One instructional DVD will teach you step-by-step how to record and mix your music with professional results.

Includes Dozens of Plug-in Effects and Instruments
Powered by award-winning, easy-to-use Pro Tools LE software, the Mbox 2 system turns your PC or Mac into a full-fledged recording studio that's packed with many of the same tools the pros use. The Mbox 2 also comes with an incredible suite of virtual instruments, including the Boom drum machine and sequencer, the DB-33 tonewheel organ emulator, the Mini Grand acoustic grand piano, and the Vacuum tube synthesizer. Plus, you also get the Structure Free sampler player, the powerful Xpand!2 multitimbral synthesizer and sample workstation from Digidesign, and the amazingly realistic sounding BFD Lite acoustic drum virtual instrument.

Pro Tools 8 - The same software the pros use
Of course, the heart of the Mbox 2 system is the powerful Digidesign Pro Tools LE 8 software - the same software used in countless professional recording studios and post houses across the world. The tracks that you create in Pro Tools LE 8 can be instantly opened and used in those same pro studios - take your sessions to a Pro Tools|HD-equipped studio and have them mixed by a pro, or enjoy having your entire body of work be fully compatible and usable whenever it's time to make the move into a larger system - with Pro Tools LE 8, you become a part of the largest community of digital audio workstation users in the world.

This version of the industry standard gives you unprecedented Pro Tools LE recording, mixing, and editing power, offering an impressive 48 simultaneous mono or stereo audio tracks - expandable up to 128 tracks with full 7.1 surround sound mixing! You'll also enjoy robust MIDI sequencing and editing abilities, built-in music notation tools with the Score Editor, Elastic Time and Elastic Pitch control, easy track-comping tools, convenient automation and controller lanes, and a time-saving update-checking feature for Pro Tools and all of your plug-ins. Plus, Pro Tools LE 8 includes a comprehensive collection of professional sound-processing plug-ins and 20 new effects - on top of a host of incredible virtual instruments. There are a Mini Grand piano, the Boom drum machine, the DB-33 tonewheel organ, and Vacuum and Xpand!2 synths, and more - as well as more than 9GB of high-quality loops and a ton of plug-ins and tools to fix, enhance, and polish your mixes. In short, you'll have all the tools you need to create radio-ready tracks - right from the moment you open the box.
