Extended information

Like its siblings, Mbox® 2 and Mbox® 2 Pro, Mbox 2 Mini delivers superior sound quality and includes plenty of powerful creation tools for composing, recording, and mixing music and audio. It comes with award-winning, easy-to-use Pro Tools LE™ software, which provides you with many of the same tools the pros use on major recordings and in films. And because Pro Tools is the industry standard, you can use your Mbox 2 Mini-recorded sessions in any Pro Tools-equipped studio around the world.

Mbox® 2 Mini — like the rest of the Mbox 2 family — was designed by Digidesign, makers of professional, industry-standard Pro Tools|HD® hardware. That means you can expect premium hardware design, high-quality internal components, and superior sound quality and reliability. Mbox 2 Mini supports up to 24-bit/48 kHz audio resolution, delivering stellar sound at better than CD-quality audio. And its robust metal enclosure can withstand all the bumps and knocks that come with being toted around everywhere you go.

Powered by award-winning, easy-to-use Pro Tools LE software, Mbox 2 Mini turns your PC or Mac into a full-fledged recording studio that’s packed with many of the same tools the pros use.

The included Xpand!™ sample-playback/synthesis workstation plug-in from the Digidesign Advanced Instrument Research (A.I.R.) group enables you to bring thousands of high-quality acoustic and digital instrument sounds and loops into Pro Tools — from pianos and synths to guitars, drums, woodwinds, and orchestral hits. The free Bomb Factory® and DigiRack™ plug-ins provide extensive processing power to help you get professional-sounding mixes. And the mighty Pro Tools Ignition Pack comes with everything you need to start making and promoting your music, including Ableton Live Lite, Propellerhead Software Reason Adapted, FXpansion BFD Lite, and much more.

Carrying Mbox 2 Mini is an effortless feat thanks to its small size. Toss it in your bag or carry it in hand. Because Mbox 2 Mini is solidly built, it can withstand being jostled and knocked around. And with its USB-powered ability, you needn’t worry about scrounging around for a power outlet to start working whenever — and wherever — inspiration strikes. Mbox 2 Mini gives you the freedom and flexibility to record and mix Pro Tools sessions anywhere you travel — sessions that can be used in Pro Tools-equipped studios around the world.
