| Digidesign Introduces Mbox 2-Next-Generation USB Audio/MIDI Production System |
Digidesign has introduced the Mbox® 2, a next-generation USB-powered audio/MIDI production system that builds on the performance and simplicity of the original Mbox-Digidesign's most popular personal studio product ever. The original Mbox offered superb sound, a compact hardware design, and easy operation that changed the way songwriters, DJs, studio mixers, and postproduction engineers created and produced music.
Mbox 2 is an important evolutionary step from the original Mbox. Combining pristine sound and a wide range of connection options (including analog, digital, and MIDI), Mbox 2 delivers professional performance in an incredibly compact package.
Along with its flexible hardware interface, Mbox 2 includes the easy-to-use, award-winning Digidesign® Pro Tools LE™ software, which offers many of the same features that top studios rely on to record, edit, mix, and master commercial albums and produce sound for blockbuster films. In addition, Mbox 2 comes with the Pro Tools Ignition Pack™-an impressive collection of powerful plug-ins, creative applications, and additional tools to help professionally produce and promote music. With the addition of the Pro Tools Ignition Pack, Mbox 2 includes more than 50 plug-ins and instruments.
