Premium quality

Designed by the same engineering team behind Avid's top-of-the-line Pro Tools|HD systems, the Mbox Pro interface features advanced recording technology for exceptional quality. A premium analog signal path and high-performance 24-bit, 192kHz* converters deliver pristine sound. Stringent testing standards ensure rock-solid performance in the most demanding environments. And of course, Mbox Pro is designed for ultra-tight integration with the included Pro Tools 9 software, which is based on the same platform trusted by professional musicians, engineers, and producers around the world.

Unsurpassed flexibility

The Mbox Pro interface is also compatible with other major recording applications, so you can make music any way you want. All-new drivers provide superior performance with Logic, Live, Record, Reason, Fruity Loops, Cubase, Nuendo, Sonar, and more. So go ahead, use your favorite third-party DAW from start to finish - or record with the included Pro Tools LE software to ensure your sessions are compatible with pro studios around the world. No matter how you work, you'll sound great with Mbox Pro.

Advanced functionality

The Mbox Pro interface is packed with tons of advanced features that make it easy to get great results. Mbox Pro provides the same professional-grade soft-clip limiter circuit found in Avid's high-end Pro Tools|HD 192 I/O audio interface, so you can track much hotter signals without overloading the inputs and clipping. Built-in reverb helps you deliver more inspiring vocal and instrumental performances - without taxing your computer processor. The integrated guitar tuner enables you to tune your guitar, bass, and other instruments directly from the interface. And a Pro Tools multi-function button makes it easy to access common software parameters - like tap session tempo, start/stop record, and create a new track - right from the front of the interface. With Mbox Pro, your sessions will move at the speed of your creativity.

(*Up to 96 kHz sample rates supported with Pro Tools LE software.)
