Digidesign Mbox 2 Micro at a Glance:
  • Ultra-compact design
  • Pro Tools LE Software
  • Exclusive 24/7 Sweetwater Support
  • Music creation - anywhere!
  • Perfect second Pro Tools system

Ultra-compact design
Mbox 2 Micro sports a slick yet rugged anodized aluminum casing that's small enough to fit in any size 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 diminutive size, 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.

Pro Tools LE 8 Software
Mbox 2 Micro comes with award-winning Pro Tools LE software, enabling you to open, edit, and mix your existing Pro Tools|HD-, Pro Tools LE-, or Pro Tools M-Powered-created sessions in high-fidelity audio. Play back sessions with up to 24-bit/48 kHz high-quality audio, and enjoy access to the wide range of professional Pro Tools plug-ins and virtual instruments available (for higher sample rate Pro Tools|HD sessions, be sure to down-convert the sessions using your studio setup prior to using Mbox 2 Micro). 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.

Exclusive 24/7 Sweetwater Support
When you buy your Pro Tools system from Sweetwater, you have a team of Pro Tools experts standing behind you. We have helped literally thousands of our customers get started with their Pro Tools|HD, Pro Tools LE, and Pro Tools M-Powered systems, and we've even created a Sweetwater-exclusive online Pro Tools Resource Center that answers many of the most common Pro Tools questions - everything from how to set up your first session, to the latest compatibility details. All of these resources - including our award-winning tech support team - are absolutely free to Sweetwater customers, and you'll have immediate access to them from the moment you open the box!

Music creation - anywhere!
While Mbox 2 Micro is an output-only audio device, it also serves as a simple music creation studio thanks to the included Pro Tools LE software, bundled software, and wealth of compatible virtual instruments and plug-in options available.

Easily import audio files, MIDI files, and loops into Pro Tools, and edit and mix them to create musical masterpieces. Plug in a USB MIDI keyboard into your computer and capture an amazing virtual instrument performance in Pro Tools - one that you can admire for posterity or tweak to perfection. Or route compositions from your favorite ReWire-compatible applications right into Pro Tools for further tweaking and mixing.

Mbox 2 Micro comes with Xpand!2, a compelling sample-playback/synthesis workstation from the Digidesign Advanced Instrument Research (A.I.R.) group, to help get you started. Built for songwriters, soundtrack composers, DJs, electronic musicians, music producers, and sound designers, Xpand! provides fast and easy ways to access and manipulate thousands of high-quality sounds from within Pro Tools, enabling you to craft anything from pristine-sounding acoustic instruments to complex synthesized soundscapes or loop-driven techno tracks.

Perfect second Pro Tools system
If you're a Digidesign VENUE live sound system engineer, Mbox 2 Micro makes it easy and super convenient to mix your live sound recordings while you're on the way to the next gig. Whether you recorded the shows on an integrated Pro Tools|HD or Pro Tools LE system, Mbox 2 Micro allows you to open and work with the sessions outside of your usual rig. And because many of the plug-ins you use during the live shows are also available for Pro Tools LE, you'll have access to much of the same professional processing in the tour bus with Mbox 2 Micro as you would with VENUE in front of the stage.

Digidesign Mbox 2 Micro Features:
  • Ultra-portable, anodized aluminum design
  • High-quality sound up to 24-bit, 48 kHz (higher sample rates require pre-conversion)
  • 1/8" stereo output jack for headphone or speaker monitoring (no audio inputs)
  • Convenient volume wheel for quick headphone adjustments
  • Powered by USB (USB 1.1 connection, includes USB extension cable)
  • Comes with Pro Tools LE, DigiRack and Bomb Factory plug-ins, and Xpand!
  • Height: 3-1/2"
  • Width: 1-1/4"
  • Depth: 7/16"
  • Weight: 1.2 oz.

Finally! A way to use my Pro Tools LE on the go. Thanks DIGI!

Excellent Compact Interface/Dongle

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 [-]

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 [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
