Incredibly High-powered Desktop Production

NOTE: This product is available in the U.S. only. This is an offer from Avid allowing approved educational facilities to purchase a Pro Tools Mbox Pro at a special discounted price. Proof of eligibility is required to qualify for this offer. Please call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more information.

The Avid Pro Tools Mbox Pro takes the Mbox line to a level of professional music production power never known before! Avid pooled their top engineers to completely redesign the Pro Tools Mbox Pro from the ground up. The result is simply astounding! Fully equipped with top-shelf converters and four incredibly lucid preamps, the Pro Tools Mbox Pro sounds like no other audio interface on the market, and it sports incredible functions not found on other interfaces in its class. Loaded on each of the Pro Tools Mbox Pro's excellent-sounding preamps are the same Softclip limiters found on Avid's flagship HD series interfaces. Each preamp also has its own dedicated insert point, so integrating your favorite outboard gear couldn't be easier. On top of that, the Pro Tools Mbox Pro has enough analog outputs to accommodate several mixes or to even support full 5.1 surround mixing. And that's not all.

Compare the new Mbox series head to head.

The Pro Tools Mbox Pro also has an onboard guitar tuner and a dedicated DSP engine for cue mixing with reverb. Now you can stay in tune without having to grab a tuner or fire up a plug-in. You can also add ambience, such as room reverb or a touch of slap delay, to vocals as you record, and you'll never have to worry about latency or dealing with outboard gear. An assignable multifunction button gives you fast access to software functions inside of Pro Tools.

Need to jump to a different DAW? No problem! New ASIO, Core Audio, WDM, MME, and multi-client drivers allow the Pro Tools Mbox Pro to integrate easily with Pro Tools LE, Logic, Live, Cubase, and most other Mac or PC DAWs. This Pro Tools Mbox Pro includes Pro Tools 9, the most powerful version of Pro Tools ever. So, when you buy the Avid Pro Tools Mbox Pro, you don't get just an amazing FireWire interface; you get a complete music production system!
