As the much anticipated answer to one of the top requests from Pro Tools® users, the ultra-small Digidesign Mbox® 2 Micro enables Pro Tools users to edit, sequence, and mix sessions created on Pro Tools|HD®, Pro Tools LE®, and Pro Tools M-Powered™ systems on the go, as well as compose music with virtual instruments and loops.

 

About the size of a typical USB flash drive, the Digidesign Mbox 2 Micro offers high-quality 24-bit / 48 kHz sound, a 1/8-inch stereo output for headphone or speaker monitoring (no audio inputs*), and a convenient volume wheel, providing you with the freedom of true editing, sequencing, and mixing mobility. Whether you’re looking to work on studio-created or live sound Pro Tools sessions on the go, or create loop-based or virtual instrument-driven music, Mbox 2 Micro lets you work wherever inspiration takes you.

Edit and Mix On the Go

Forget about being cooped up in a recording studio or post-production suite; Mbox 2 Micro gives you the freedom to leave your Pro Tools interfaces behind and take your sessions anywhere you and your laptop computer can travel — whether it’s for business or for pleasure. With its robust, anodised aluminium design and diminutive size, you can simply tuck Mbox 2 Micro into any pocket and get ready to welcome the world as your new control room or editing suite.

Mbox 2 Micro comes with award-winning Pro Tools LE software, enabling you to open, edit, and mix your existing Pro Tools|HD-, Pro Tools LE-, or Pro Tools M-Powered-created sessions in high-fidelity audio. Play back sessions with up to 24-bit / 48 kHz high-quality audio, and enjoy access to the wide range of professional Pro Tools plug-ins and virtual instruments available (for higher sample rate Pro Tools|HD sessions, be sure to down-convert the sessions using your studio setup prior to using Mbox 2 Micro). Mbox 2 Micro even supports Music Production Toolkit and DV Toolkit™ 2 options, enabling you to work on larger projects (up to 48 stereo tracks) while on the road.

Create Music Anywhere

While Mbox 2 Micro is an output-only audio device, it also serves as a simple music creation studio thanks to the included Pro Tools LE software, bundled software, and wealth of compatible virtual instruments and plug-in options available.

Easily import audio files, MIDI files, and loops into Pro Tools, and edit and mix them to create musical masterpieces. Plug in a USB MIDI keyboard into your computer and capture an amazing virtual instrument performance in Pro Tools — one that you can admire for posterity or tweak to perfection. Or route compositions from your favorite ReWire-compatible applications right into Pro Tools for further tweaking and mixing.

Mix Last Night’s Show on the Road

If you’re a Digidesign® VENUE live sound system engineer, Mbox 2 Micro makes it easy and super convenient to mix your live sound recordings while you’re on the way to the next gig. Whether you recorded the shows on an integrated Pro Tools|HD or Pro Tools LE system, Mbox 2 Micro allows you to open and work with the sessions outside of your usual rig. And because many of the plug-ins you use during the live shows are also available for Pro Tools LE, you’ll have access to much of the same professional processing in the tour bus with Mbox 2 Micro as you would with VENUE in front of the stage.

Little But Loaded

Sure, it’s small, but Mbox 2 Micro comes fully loaded with a big assortment of creative software and processing plug-ins to mix and master your sessions to completion — over 45 plug-ins! Along with powerful Pro Tools LE software and Xpand!, Mbox 2 Micro also includes a collection of Bomb Factory® plug-ins, which offer powerful effects and utilities from the makers of some of the very best digital emulations of classic analog processors in the industry, and DigiRack™ plug-ins, which offer a wide variety of professional real-time and file-based effects and studio utilities that are ideal for bringing your mixes to life.
