Overview:
Designed by the same engineering team behind our
top-of-the-line Pro Tools|HD systems, the AVID MBOX PRO interface features advanced
recording technology for exceptional quality. A premium analog signal path and
high-performance 24-bit, 192kHz* converters deliver pristine sound. Stringent
testing standards ensure rock-solid performance in the most demanding
environments.
- The Mbox Pro interface is compatible with all major
recording applications, so you can make music any way you want. All-new drivers
provide superior performance with Logic, Live, Record, Reason, Fruity Loops,
Cubase, Nuendo, Sonar, and more. No
matter how you work, you’ll sound great with Mbox Pro.
- The Mbox Pro interface is packed with tons of advanced
features that make it easy to get great results. Mbox Pro provides the same
professional-grade soft-clip limiter circuit found in our high-end Pro Tools|HD
192 I/O audio interface, so you can track much hotter signals without
overloading the inputs and clipping. Built-in reverb helps you deliver more
inspiring vocal and instrumental performances—without taxing your computer
processor. The integrated guitar tuner enables you to tune your guitar, bass,
and other instruments directly from the interface. And a Pro Tools
multi-function button makes it easy to access common software parameters—like
tap session tempo, start/stop record, and create a new track—right from the
front of the interface. With Mbox Pro, your sessions will move at the speed of
your creativity.
Sound amazing with Mbox Pro
- Whether you work solo or collaborate with others, you’ll
sound better than ever with the Mbox Pro audio and MIDI computer recording
interface. Get best-in-class sound quality and performance with
professional-grade circuitry and premium audio conversion. And capture and mix
studio-quality sessions, with up to 24-bit/192 kHz audio resolution.
All the ins and out you need—and more
- Because you can work with up to eight inputs and eight
outputs simultaneously, Pro Tools | Mbox Pro is ideal for recording yourself
and a small band or ensemble. Connect mics, instruments, line- level equipment,
MIDI gear, and digital devices to the wide array of analog and digital I/O. You
can also add your favorite outboard signal processors to your mixes using the
four insert jacks, attach a footswitch to control punch ins/outs, and maintain
perfect sync with other digital devices through Word Clock I/O.
Create effortlessly with extras
- Mbox Pro comes packed with advanced features, making it even
easier to get great results. Instantly perform Pro Tools commands right from
the interface—like tap session tempo, start/stop record, and create a new
track—with the customizable multi-function button. Tune your guitar, bass, and
other instruments using the integrated guitar tuner. Prevent distortion when
tracking louder sources using the same professional-grade soft-clip limiter
found in our Pro Tools | HD Series interfaces. And set up more pleasing cue
mixes with reverb using the onboard DSP.
