The recent take over of Digidesign by parent company Avid brings us the all-new Pro Tools Mbox 3. The key here is "all-new," as in all-new preamps, all-new converters, and all-new drivers, all put together in an interface that is simple and amazingly functional. The MBox 3 features premium 24 bit /96 kHz converters and the same softclip limiters found on the HD range!
The Mbox 3 Mini from Digidesign is a high-quality audio interface and recording system that delivers premium-quality audio in a compact and durable design. The Mbox 3 Mini is designed by the same engineering team behind Pro Tools|HD systems to ensure excellent performance. The Mbox 3 Mini connects to your Mac or PC via a USB 1.1 connection and is totally bus-powered. It supports audio rates up to 24-bit/48kHz and has pro-grade circuitry and converters for clean, clear audio.
The Mbox 3 Mini offers an XLR/TRS combo input that accepts mic or line level signals, and provides 48V phantom power to condenser microphones. It also has 2 1/4" DI instrument inputs, one of which can also be switched to a line input. A pair of 1/4" monitor outputs let you connect monitor speakers, mixers, or recorders. The front panel offers gain controls for each channel, as well as a mix control for zero-latency recording. A 1/4" headphone jack provides private monitoring. An oversized monitor volume knob gives you easy control over master volume.
The Mbox 3 Mini includes Pro Tools LE 8 software, which has over 70 effects and virtual instruments, plus other tools and features for quick and easy music creation.
