From Our Research Team:

Welcome to the Third Generation of Mbox!

Note: This package includes Pro Tools 9 software, but starting October 20, 2011, you'll receive a FREE upgrade to Pro Tools 10.

"New and improved" barely scratches the surface of the all-new Pro Tools Mbox. 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!

Compare the new Mbox series head to head.

The Pro Tools Mbox 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. And, although the Pro Tools Mbox comes with Pro Tools 9 - the most powerful version of Pro Tools ever - impressive new ASIO, Core Audio, WDM, MME, and multiclient drivers allow it to integrate easily with any DAW.

Home Studio

by Ed from Solon, Oh USA

Music Background: Guitarist, Teacher
I have used many DAW stations in the past. Logic, Cubase, Cakewalk, and many more that I will not waste time mentioning. Pro Tools have always been my favorite because it was excellent quality and us... read more [+]er friendly. However, Avid has blown my socks clean off. The learning curve for Pro Tools 9 is low plus the user friendly Avid Mbox3 is the best DAW for my home studio. I have been playing and teaching for over 30 years and I demand that all my student learn to record their own music. This combination is great. I just put completed a list of 30 songs that I use for background music and the Mbox3 and Pro Tools 9 combination made the job fun. I enjoyed recording and editing my music. Also, I only spent a minimum amount of time studing the reference manual. Very user friendly. close [-]

Everything was exactly as promised. I was impressed with the phone call I received from your guy when I had just placed the order. He was very thorough and professional in every way. I love my new digital piano. Your wide selection and excellent service as well as your "3 Payment Plan" and the 2 year warranty sealed the deal for me on this purchase. No one else could come close.
