Ultra-small USB Pro Tools LE solution enables playback, editing, sequencing, and mixing on the go
;) |
As the much anticipated answer to one of the top requests from Pro Tools® users, Digidesign is excited to introduce the new Mbox® 2 Micro, the smallest member of the Mbox 2 family, enabling Pro Tools users to edit, sequence, and mix sessions created on Pro Tools|HD®, Pro Tools LE®, and Pro Tools M-Powered™ systems on the go, as well as compose music with virtual instruments and loops.
About the size of a typical USB flash drive, Mbox 2 Micro offers high-quality sound, a 1/8-inch stereo output for headphone or speaker monitoring (no audio inputs), and a convenient volume wheel for quick adjustments. While it doesn’t offer any audio inputs, Mbox 2 Micro does come with award-winning Pro Tools LE software, Bomb Factory® and DigiRack™ plug-ins, and Digidesign’s Xpand!™ sample-playback/synthesis workstation, enabling you to work with Pro Tools sessions and compose wherever inspiration takes you.
Mbox 2 Micro will be available at authorized Digidesign dealers within the first two weeks of November.

My comments: Its about f**king time! After everyone asking for years, this thing could have been made up in an afternoon. I’m actually a bit surprised no one had hacked an original Mbox and stripped out all non-essential parts like preamps and made their own dongle. That said, I’m still going to end up buying one of these damn things. Next maybe they’ll just sell them from gumball machines.
finally.
