Digidesign Mbox 2 Pro Factory Bundle
Mbox 2 Pro Factory includes the same hardware and software
bundle as Mbox 2 Pro but adds five additional Digidesign and Bomb Factory
plug-ins (worth over n$1,000) and an iLok USB Smart Key. The Mbox 2 Pro brings
the speed, power, and reliability of FireWire to Digidesign's portable,
high-definition, audio/MIDI production system. Using the proven design of the
Mbox 2, the Mbox 2 Pro's high-speed FireWire-powered connectivity delivers more
simultaneous audio I/O and connection options with studio-grade 24-bit/96kHz
audio resolution as well as low-latency monitoring. It can be powered by
FireWire bus (6-pin connection only) or the included power supply.
The Mbox 2 Pro has four analog inputs—2 combo XLR/TRS jacks, 2 TRS 1/4"
jacks—and six 1/4" analog outputs. Two of the inputs are front panel Hi-Z
instrument jacks. The XLR inputs have 48V phantom power for use with condenser
microphones. It also has S/PDIF digital I/O; an RCA phono preamp input for
direct turntable connection; dedicated studio monitor outputs with volume
control; 2 stereo headphone outputs with independent volume controls and an
alternate source switch; and MIDI I/O. It also offers professional features such
as MIDI Time Stamping support, Word Clock I/O, dedicated studio monitor outputs,
and the award-winning, easy-to-use Pro Tools LE software. Pro Tools LE offers
many of the same features that top studios rely on to compose, record, edit,
mix, and master Grammy-winning albums and Academy Award—winning film sound on
their Pro Tools systems. It also comes with over 50 bundled plug-ins and
applications, including DigiRack plug-ins, Bomb Factory plug-ins, Xpand!
sample-playback/synthesis workstation, and Pro Tools Ignition Pack. Starting
10/03/08, you'll also get a free upgrade to Pro Tools LE 8 when you register
your purchase on Digidesign's website.
