OVERVIEW
The Mbox 2 Micro makes your Pro Tools system portable for on the go production, mixing and editing. Simply connect the tiny Mbox 2 Micro in your laptops USB drive, plug in your headphones to its output and start editing or mixing down your Pro Tools session, or create loop based and virtual instrument driven music anywhere. By far the smallest Pro Tools LE playback system (fits in your pocket) and includes valuable software (Pro Tools LE) and plug-ins.
FEATURES
As with the other Mboxes, The Mbox 2 Micro allows you to run Pro Tools LE and features pro sound quality up to 24-bit, 48kHz (higher sample rates require pre-conversion), but its ultra portable size (fits in your pocket - about the size of a thumb drive) and USB connectivity lets you take your Pro Tools system on the road. It features 1 1/8" stereo output with volume control for headphone or speaker monitoring, but NO AUDIO INPUTS. This means you cannot use it as an interface to record into - it is simply for using your Pro Tools system on the go (assuming you have an interface in the studio to record, or if you simply edit, mix, or produce using internal files on your laptop). It does however include the popular Pro Tools LE software, DigiRack and Bomb Factory plug-ins, and the A.I.R. Xpand! sample-playback/synthesis workstation to start creating right out the box.
OUR OPINION
If you're a producer that already uses Pro Tools LE, this is the way to go to be able to keep working on your files while on the road. If you are new to Pro Tools LE, this is an affordable way to get the program (as well as valuable plug-ins and soft synths), but you may require a separate interface if you need audio inputs.
