Third-generation Mbox with New Pro Tools Express

"Value packed" barely scratches the surface of the Avid Pro Tools Mbox with Pro Tools Express. The key here is "all-new," as in all-new preamps, all-new converters, and all-new drivers, all put together in an interface that is simple and amazingly functional. Avid's top engineers equipped the Pro Tools Mbox with a pair of ultra-transparent custom mic preamps and a set of phenomenal 24-bit/96kHz converters, giving it absolutely astounding sound quality. The Pro Tools Mbox even includes a pair of Softclip limiters, the same tape-saturation-style dynamics processors found on Avid's flagship HD series interfaces! And because it comes with Pro Tools Express DAW software, you'll be ready to create music right out of the box with the Avid Pro Tools Mbox with Pro Tools Express!

Avid Pro Tools Mbox with Pro Tools Express at a Glance:
  • Top of the line design
  • Built-in DSP engine, and more
  • Pro Tools Express DAW software included

Top of the line design
To build on the success of the already acclaimed Mbox line of audio interfaces, Avid went back to square one to build the Pro Tools Mbox with Pro Tools Express. New components, a new signal path, and a big focus on convenience and usability went into this latest version of the Mbox, and it sounds better than ever.

Built-in DSP engine, and more
The Pro Tools Mbox with Pro Tools Express also comes equipped with a built-in guitar tuner and a dedicated DSP engine for cue mixing with reverb. Now, you can add reverb or delay to vocals as you record, without worrying about latency or having to manage cumbersome outboard gear. There's also a super-useful assignable Pro Tools multifunction button right on the face of the Pro Tools Mbox. This button gives you fast access to software functions inside of Pro Tools, including record arming and on-the-fly track creation.

Pro Tools Express DAW software included
This Pro Tools Mbox audio interface comes with Pro Tools Express DAW software, so you'll be ready to make music right away. Pro Tools Express software is specially made for use with MBox interfaces, and gives you 16 stereo track recording capability at up to 24-bit/96kHz. It's got over 30 included plug-ins, and has many of the same features and functions as the full versions of Pro Tools software. And when you're ready to, just call Sweetwater for an easy upgrade from Pro Tools Express to the full version.

I love it. I had to bump up my computer "horse power" but it was worth it. Plus I can become mobile and use it with my notebook.

Blows Presonus out of the water!

I was absolutely stunned. First by my next day delivery(I live in Michigan) and then by the very noticeable difference in sound quality, and ease of use. I installed this onto my Windows 8 computer.

The ilok thing was no big deal as well. The only thing I do not like about the system is that I have to keep the ilok in, which cuts down on my USB real estate. Overall though, I love this thing and it is built like a tank. close [-]

A Huge Improvement from Mbox 2

Music Background: Producer/Engineer, Musician
I have to say I was thoroughly impressed with Avid's new Mbox. I've had the Mbox 2, 003, Apogee Ensemble, and Lynx Auroras. The Mbox 2 left a lot to be desired. I use the new Mbox for my portable r... read more [+]ig, and it is a completely different beast. The convertors are great! I usually use external pres, but I could use the Mbox if I had to. It's also built like a tank which is great for transporting. Great unit. close [-]
