APPENDIX 4
There is a pair of MIDI in and out ports that support MIDI Time Stamping
(MTS) to make sure that your MIDI performances are captured with the utmost
precision and accuracy.
To enable digital transfers, there are two channels of S/PDIF digital I/O that
allow you to route digital audio signals to and from other devices such as
signal processors, digital mixers, or other digital audio recording and playback
devices directly into Pro Tools. A pair of BNC connectors allow the Mbox 2 Pro
to be professionally synchronized with external devices via Word Clock.
Other useful features? Well, yes there are! Turntable inputs are available via
RCA phono jacks and a pair of Firewire jacks allows you to chain FireWire
devices through the unit which can sometimes be necessary. And a dedicated
Stereo monitor output on the rear panel allows you to have reference monitors
permanently connected – without using up the individual output ports that
you may wish to use for other purposes.
