Digidesign Mbox 2
Digidesign has made a good thing even better! The Mbox 2 is a next-generation USB-powered audio/MIDI production system that builds on the performance and simplicity of the original Mbox. Mbox 2 combines pristine sound and a wide range of connection options (including analog, digital, and MIDI) for professional performance in an incredibly compact package.

The Mbox 2 comes with the music-industry-standard Pro Tools® software. Pro Tools software is used in more professional studios than any other music recording production and pro audio software.

With superb sound, a compact hardware design, and easy operation, the original Digidesign® Mbox® changed the way songwriters, DJs, studio mixers, and post production engineers create and produce music. The seamless integration of an innovative USB-powered hardware interface and intuitive Pro Tools LE™ software offered an easy, affordable way to access the power and flexibility of the industry-standard Pro Tools® platform.

Along with its flexible hardware interface, Mbox 2 includes the easy-to-use, award-winning Digidesign Pro Tools LE software, which offers many of the same features that top studios rely on to record, edit, mix, and master commercial albums and produce sound for blockbuster films. In addition, Mbox 2 comes with the Pro Tools Ignition Pack™ — an impressive collection of powerful plug-ins, creative applications, and additional tools to help you professionally produce and promote your music. With the addition of the Pro Tools Ignition Pack, Mbox 2 includes more than 50 plug-ins and instruments.
