A Studio-quality, Feature-laden Desktop Interface

Avid's Mbox Studio includes everything you need to create, record, edit, and mix your projects. This desktop USB-C audio interface boasts a generous complement of simultaneous I/O, along with exceptional sound, low-latency tracking, loopback mixing, and real-time effects. You'll appreciate the clarity of Mbox Studio's four high-quality mic preamps, which include variable impedance for maximum versatility. You also get variable-impedance instrument inputs, along with line-level analog, digital, and MIDI I/O. Dual headphone outputs and a full-featured monitor controller, complete with talkback, are also included. Stereo Bluetooth I/O is also onboard, as is built-in re-amping and a guitar tuner. Whether you're a studio engineer, voice-over talent, or podcaster, Mbox Studio, powered by Pro Tools Studio, delivers the studio-quality sound and pro-level performance you need to deliver your best work.

Contains a generous complement of I/O

With 21 x 22 simultaneous I/O at up to 24-bit/96kHz (or 10 x 10 at 176.4 or 192kHz), Mbox Studio contains enough I/O to tackle any project you throw at it. Its four high-quality mic preamps boast variable Z for maximum performance with any microphone. Two variable-impedance instrument inputs make connecting your electric guitar or bass a breeze. You also get four additional line-level inputs, along with two impedance-switching effects loops. Mbox studio also includes stereo Bluetooth I/O, enabling you to check mixes in your car, jam with your iPhone, and connect your AirPods. You also get eight channels of optical ADAT or two channels of optical S/PDIF, plus coax S/PDIF and MIDI I/O and an impedance-matched, hi-Z output for effortless guitar re-amping. Two footswitch/expression pedal inputs round out Mbox Studio's generous complement of I/O.

Includes a full-featured monitoring section

Avid's Mbox Studio makes setting up rock-solid monitoring a piece of cake. For starters, you get two stereo monitor outputs, and you can easily toggle between the two for quick referencing. Top-panel Mono, Mute, and Dim buttons put essential monitoring functions right at your fingertips. You also get two headphone outputs with independent cue mix control. The engineers here at Sweetwater have also found that Mbox Studio's integrated talkback makes in-studio communication a walk in the park.

Offers something for everyone

Regardless of what kind of projects you work on in your studio, Mbox Studio is ready to accommodate you. With it, you can create beats and record studio-quality music with high-quality mic preamps, built-in effects, low-latency monitoring, and premium AD/DA conversion. You can capture killer guitar tones, thanks to a bevy of guitarist-friendly features, and record voice-overs and perform sound editing with independent cue and monitor mixes, plus easy monitor switching. Podcasters can use Mbox Studio to capture dialog, along with audio from a video game, YouTube, or other source with loopback mixing. You'll accelerate your workflow with four user-assignable buttons for oft-used functions. Lastly, you can integrate your iPhone, AirPods, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices for source recording and monitoring.

Not Surprised!

I've had the MBox 2 for over a decade and loved it. Haven't used it in a while, but recently got a new drum kit and decided I wanted to get back in to recording, only this time needed more inputs and outputs. Coincidentally after a long while Avid happened to rejuvenate the MBox at the same time, so it inspired me to pick one up. It is no surprise that it did not disappoint. Lots of I/O's and very durable and functionally built! Little additional features like Bluetooth input and output are a nice touch. The MBox Control software is easily accessible with the press of a button and great to custom configure your device. I'm enjoying this new found capability and learning new features and functions! Well done Avid! And thanks Sweetwater for carrying this product!

Amazing interface loaded with tons of great features!

I love my MBox, works flawlessly with Windows, drivers are stable.
Sound is great, the preamps are excellent for the price. It seems the analog signal path inside the Box is very thoroughly connected.
The converters are also top, I mean these days it's hard to find "bad" converters in the 1k price range.

What I love are the Hi-z outs, which allows for using outboard pedals to use like effect plugins, very cool and a lot of fun.
I use it in hybrid environment with some compact Elysia outboard gear, it's a lot of fun to work with.

I also tired the 1 year Pro Tools subscription and I can't understand the complaints about that DAW. Maybe not as fancy as StudioOne, but great, professional audio tools.

Monitoring is a great experience and I like the Bluetooth option.

Lots of connections and professional build quality.

I can't complain.

OUTSTANDING !!!!!! AVID

I love this Mbox

I have owned many many interfaces including the carbon (which I sold). I wanted to replace my UA Apollo because I just dont like the sound. I went out on a limb and bought the Mbox Studio and I have to say. IM VERY HAPPY. The drivers are rock solid. The fact that I have everything right there at my finger tips on the front of the interface is just genius. with the UA you have to push different buttons to get what you want or grab your mouse to launch the GUI. Not anymore just one button and bam. The tuner is AWESOME. What a great addition. I honestly cant find a use for the 4 colored buttons but I haven't tried very hard either.

Sound quality? way better than my UA Apollo X and on par with the Carbon. I can say anything negative. '

I love it.
