APPENDIX 4

Reasons to buy an Mbox? If you want a portable recording studio for your

laptop, get an Mbox. If you want to learn Pro Tools before investing in an

expensive professional system, get an MBox. If you are on a budget, but want

to make a start working with the industry-standard digital audio workstation,

get an Mbox. If you already have a Pro Tools system at the studio and want to

take work home to review and edit, get an Mbox.

Mbox 2

Digidesign brings out new products each year and retires older models from

time to time. The original Mbox was discontinued in the summer of 2005 and

immediately replaced in Digidesign’s product range by the Mbox 2 – allowing

Digidesign to continue offering a USB-powered studio-in-a-box for under

$500.

The Mbox 2 is slightly larger than the original Mbox and features MIDI in and

out ports in addition to similar audio features to the original Mbox. It also

has microphone, line and DI inputs. So you can hook up a MIDI module or

controller, then plug a guitar or bass directly into the DI jack (without the need

for an extra preamp), plug a keyboard or mixer into the line jack, or plug a pair

of microphones into the XLR jacks.

Although Mbox 2 looks like a two-channel unit, it actually supports four

channels of input and output if you use both the analogue and digital I/O at

the same time. As with the original Mbox, the A/D and D/A converters, and the

S/PDIF I/O are all 24-bit, working at either 44.1 or 48 kHz sampling rates.

The maximum analogue input level is +21 dBu and maximum analogue output

level is an impressive +4 dBV – so Mbox 2 should interface with just about any

type of mixer or other audio equipment that you are likely to be using.

The Mbox 2 hardware unit can be positioned horizontally or vertically to  t into

any workspace. It comes with two faceplates that can easily be swapped using

the included hex wrench. One faceplate features a large handle that makes

the unit easily portable. The second faceplate, which o ers a rubberized grip,

allows Mbox 2 to sit  at on a desktop and reduces the space required when

the unit is packed for traveling.

Weighing in at just 1.23 kg, Mbox 2 is compact and easily portable. The

dimensions measured with the unit in horizontal (handle-down) con guration

are as follows: Height: 4.9 cm; with handle: 7.7 cm; with handle cover: 5.6 cm.

Width: 22.4 cm. Depth: 18.4 cm (including the knobs).
