Proper documentation, such as a school PO or a current ID, must be provided to receive the special pricing. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for details. With the new FireWire-based Mbox 2 Pro, Pro Tools LE just got even cooler! Digidesign has taken the concept of a portable, compact Pro Tools LE rig to even greater heights. It's a powerful box that offers a great deal of flexibility and capability. Now you can choose the Mbox that's best for you: the USB Mbox 2 or the new FireWire Mbox 2 Pro. Digidesign Mbox 2 Pro at a Glance: A high-quality audio solution for both pro and project studios Expanded I/O with plenty of hands-on control S/PDIF digital audio and word clock I/O Exclusive 24/7 Sweetwater Support Dozens of plug-in effects and instruments Use the same software as the Pros A high-quality audio solution for both pro and project studios Digidesign's Mbox and Mbox 2 have proven tremendously popular - not only with "entry-level" and "home" users (whatever those terms mean) but also with high-end professionals, who use the portable interfaces for editing tracks on location and on airplanes, for tracking smaller sessions, for mixing on the run, and for working on projects from home or project studios, then taking those projects into full-on Pro Tools TDM-based studios for the finishing touches. The Mbox 2 Pro raises the bar, giving you the ability to use up to four simultaneous inputs (using the S/PDIF ins and external clocking, up to six inputs!) and eight simultaneous outputs. Expanded I/O with plenty of hands-on control The clean and streamlined front panel of the Mbox 2 Pro offers plenty of up-front, hands-on control. Starting from the left, there are indicators for power, external clock sync, and MIDI activity. Two 1/4-inch headphone jacks, each with its own dedicated volume knob follow - you can create two independent headphone mixes using the 3/4 button - after which comes the monitor output volume knob. Next up is the 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-inch DI jacks or the rear-panel mic/line-level connections. S/PDIF digital audio and word clock I/O Flipping the Mbox 2 Pro around to check out the back panel, you'll find a plethora of input/output options. Starting from the left you have two 1/4-inch/XLR combo mic/line inputs, then the stereo Aux Input, which offers a choice of 1/4-inch line inputs or RCA inputs for phono operation, and features a grounding lug for use with turntables. Stereo 1/4-inch monitor outputs appear next, along with four 1/4-inch line outputs. S/PDIF digital I/O on coaxial connections follows, along with line outs 5/6 (which share one 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 power supply.

Customer Reviews  Awesome! The industry standard in your living room.   by Justin from Lake Charles, La, September 15, 2008 Music Background:  Jazz Musician, Student, Recording Hobbyist “Even though you will spend a bit more on this than another system up front, you will save much money on the back end. Pro Tools is the industry standard and you will notice the difference in quality.” • Write Your Own Review More Pro Tools LE Systems from Digidesign: · Digidesign Mbox 2 Mini · Digidesign Mbox 2 · Digidesign Mbox 2 Micro · Digidesign 003 Rack · Digidesign 003 Factory · Digidesign Mbox 2 Pro · Digidesign Pro Tools M-Powered Full Version · Digidesign 003 Rack Factory · Digidesign Mbox 2 Pro Factory · Digidesign Mbox 2 Factory Bundle View All Products from Digidesign  Tell a Friend About the Mbox 2 Pro Academic!  Print This Page See Also:  FireWire Interfaces
