Digidesign Mbox 2 Pro
Digidesign has released Mbox 2 Pro, a new portable, high-definition audio/MIDI production system that provides high-speed FireWire-powered connectivity, up to 24-bit/96 kHz audio resolution, and a wide range of analog and digital I/O. It also offers several professional features, including MIDI Time Stamping support, Word Clock I/O, and dedicated studio monitor outputs. With Mbox 2 Pro, novices and professionals alike now have a portable, studio-grade Pro Tools solution available—one that they could take directly from home to a pro studio and then back again. Mbox 2 Pro features a plethora of analog and digital I/O options packed into its "sleekly compact frame," and supports up to six simultaneous inputs and eight outputs. It also includes industry-standard Pro Tools LE software and over 50 effects and instrument plug-ins, including DigiRack plug-ins, Bomb Factory plug-ins, the Xpand! sample-playback/synthesis workstation, and the Pro Tools Ignition Pack. It will ship on September 15th for $800 and $900 (Mbox 2 Factory).
