The Mbox from Avid is their third generation USB digital audio interface that allows for recording, editing and mixing performances with the highest audio resolutions. With a comprehensive set of connectors, it's an easy matter to connect microphones, instruments, other analog, digital, and/or MIDI gear with a computer, to capture and create studio-quality productions.

The four simultaneous inputs and outputs are ideal for self recording or for capturing a small band or ensemble with the lowest possible latency. Advanced features include an integrated guitar tuner and a professional-grade soft-clip limiter to prevent distortion when tracking louder sources. And set up cue mixes with reverb using the onboard DSP.

The Mbox can be paired with most audio recording or music creation software such as Logic, Live, Fruity Loops, Cubase, and more. Or use the interface with Pro Tools (not included) for maximum speed and ease and get total session compatibility with Pro Tools studios worldwide.

              Comments about Avid Mbox - USB Digital Audio Interface:

              This is a great deal. Avid has taken the Mbox to the next level.
              It sounds great, the mic pre's are head and shoulders better than the previous models and the onboard mixer and effects make recording so good.

              Also if you have digital inputs on your speakers try the Digital Outs to really hear a super clean sound (by pass your mixer)

              B&H was awesome, thy shipped the box the same day and it arrived promptly.
              I am a very satisfied customer, Thanks B&H.
