From Our Research Team:

Pro Tools LE in the Palm of Your Hand!

The Digidesign Mbox 2 Micro answers the demands of Pro Tools users worldwide by offering a way to edit and mix with Pro Tools LE anywhere you go! That's right, this USB device that's about the same size as a common jump drive allows you to take your Pro Tools Sessions on the road — record on your HD or LE rig and use the Mbox 2 Micro to mix on a laptop while riding in a plane, in the park... anywhere you want. The Mbox 2 Micro is portable Pro Tools power!

Mbox 2 Micro sports a slick yet rugged anodized aluminum casing that's small enough to fit in any pocket, making it the ultimate mobile Pro Tools editing and mixing solution. About the size of a typical USB flash drive, Mbox 2 Micro offers high-quality sound, a 1/8-inch stereo output for headphone or speaker monitoring (no audio inputs), and a convenient volume wheel for quick adjustments. While it doesn't offer any audio inputs, Mbox 2 Micro does come with award-winning Pro Tools LE software, Bomb Factory and DigiRack plug-ins, and Digidesign's Xpand! sample-playback/synthesis workstation, enabling you to work with Pro Tools sessions and compose wherever inspiration takes you.

Forget about being cooped up in a recording studio or post-production suite; Mbox 2 Micro gives you the freedom to leave your Pro Tools interfaces behind and take your sessions anywhere you and your laptop computer can travel — whether it's for business or for pleasure. With its robust, anodized aluminum design and super-compact, you can simply tuck Mbox 2 Micro into any pocket and get ready to welcome the world as your new control room or editing suite.

It's also definitely worth mentioning that the Mbox 2 Micro comes with a full copy of 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 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! Mbox 2 Micro even supports Music Production Toolkit 2, DV Toolkit 2, and complete Production Toolkit options, enabling you to work on larger projects (up to 128 audio tracks) while on the road.

Excellent Compact Interface/Dongle

Music Background: engineer/producer/musician
I love it. It allows me to go edit drum tracks wherever I want (usually that's out of the studio for a change of scenery). What more could you want? The form factor has to be one of the most attrac... read more [+]tive features! close [-]

Excellent product

I use DP7 for midi and audio recording, but i needed to be able to open up PT files at home. I installed the mbox 2 micro about an hour ago and i'm very impressed. The files play back with no problem,... read more [+] the sound is great(through a presonus hp4 headphone amp and behringer truth monitors). As an interface, the micro sounds as good as my MOTU 828. For simple pro tools use, i highly recommend this. close [-]

It is Worth It

Music Background: AV Engineer - State Gov't
This is really a great piece and it worked flawlessly out of the box! (literally plug and play). I'm using a macbook pro and I am running Pro Tools LE 7.4.2 pre-release. I have my ilok and my external... read more [+] drive plugged in and I am running fine. All of my plugins are here and I am getting all 48 tracks thanks to the Music Production Toolkit option. RMX, Transfuser, Ivory, and all my other virtual stuff run just like it does using the 002 and 003 units. But now I can work on tracks anywhere with little excess baggage (my only extra now is my hard drive). It is a little heavy for the USB port so I do recommend using the USB extension cable, but the sound is good and I am really enjoying it. I was a little hesitant about paying $249 for something that doesn't even record, but now that I have it I am very satisfied that I chose to get this piece of gear. Even using my Ipod earphones my stuff sounds good (and I monitor using Apogee converters with NS10 monitors). I think you will like this piece by Digidesign. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

I use my Mbox 2 Micro while making beats on an airplane. What a great solution! Cosmonaut voice sounds WAY better at 35,000 feet.
Robby Resnick
Finally! A way to use my Pro Tools LE on the go. Thanks DIGI!

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
