Digidesign Mbox 2 Pro Factory Bundle Mbox 2 Pro Factory includes the same hardware and software bundle as Mbox 2 Pro but adds five additional Digidesign and Bomb Factory plug-ins (worth over $1,000) and an iLok USB Smart Key. The Mbox 2 Pro brings the speed, power, and reliability of FireWire to Digidesign's portable, high-definition, audio/MIDI production system. Using the proven design of the Mbox 2, the Mbox 2 Pro's high-speed FireWire-powered connectivity delivers more simultaneous audio I/O and connection options with studio-grade 24-bit/96kHz audio resolution as well as low-latency monitoring. It can be powered by FireWire bus (6-pin connection only) or the included power supply. The Mbox 2 Pro has four analog inputs—2 combo XLR/TRS jacks, 2 TRS 1/4" jacks—and six 1/4" analog outputs. Two of the inputs are front panel Hi-Z instrument jacks. The XLR inputs have 48V phantom power for use with condenser microphones. It also has S/PDIF digital I/O; an RCA phono preamp input for direct turntable connection; dedicated studio monitor outputs with volume control; 2 stereo headphone outputs with independent volume controls and an alternate source switch; and MIDI I/O. It also offers professional features such as MIDI Time Stamping support, Word Clock I/O, dedicated studio monitor outputs, and the award-winning, easy-to-use Pro Tools LE software. Pro Tools LE offers many of the same features that top studios rely on to compose, record, edit, mix, and master Grammy-winning albums and Academy Award—winning film sound on their Pro Tools systems. It also comes with several bundled plug-ins and applications, including DigiRack plug-ins, Bomb Factory plug-ins, and Xpand! sample-playback/synthesis workstation.
