What is Pro Tools | Mbox?
Record, edit, and mix performances—with stunning sound quality—using the professional-grade Mbox audio interface. And now Mbox is an even better value with Pro Tools Express software included at no additional charge. Or bundle it with Pro Tools | Software instead and maximize your creativity and power. No matter what you choose, you can easily connect mics, instruments, monitors, and other analog, digital, and/or MIDI gear with your computer to capture and create studio-quality productions.
Designed by the Pro Tools | HD team
Mbox was designed by the same team who created our
top-of-the-line Pro Tools | HD Series interfaces, giving you the sonic clarity of interfaces costing much more.
Comes with Pro Tools Express software
Compose, record, edit, and mix with Pro Tools Express using many of the same industry-standard tools as Pro Tools.
Take the Mbox challenge
You may have heard that the third-generation Mbox interface family is different—all-new signal paths, premium converters, the works. Are you ready to experience the difference? We compared the input and output stages of the Pro Tools | Mbox Pro against three great-sounding interfaces with similar feature sets—which cost almost three to six times more.
Sound amazing with Mbox
Whether you work solo or collaborate with others, you'll sound better than ever with the newly rearchitected Mbox audio and MIDI computer recording interface. Get best-in-class sound quality and performance with professional-grade circuitry and premium audio conversion.
Pristine quality, powerful performance
Get best-in-class audio quality, exceptional performance, and the lowest possible latency in everything you do with Mbox, featuring professional-grade converters, advanced recording technology, and a premium analog signal path. And with our stringent testing standards, you’re assured of rock-solid performance in even the most demanding environments.
Work with the software you want
Use Mbox with the included Pro Tools Express software (you can upgrade to the full Pro Tools at any time at great savings) for maximum creativity and performance, or get great performance when you use Mbox with any Core Audio- or ASIO-compatible software, such as Logic, Live, Record, Reason, Digital Performer, Fruity Loops, Cubase, Nuendo, Sonar, and more.
Create effortlessly with extras
Mbox comes packed with advanced features, making it even easier to get great results. Tune your guitar, bass, and other instruments using the integrated guitar tuner. Prevent distortion when tracking louder sources using the same professional-grade soft-clip limiter found in our Pro Tools | HD Series interfaces. And set up more pleasing cue mixes with reverb using the onboard DSP.
