The Digidesign Mbox 2 Pro Digital Recording Interface packs an unbelievable amount of functionality into a small unit that is USB-powered and fully MIDI compatible. There are a number of input and output options on the Mbox 2, including two analog inputs and two analog outputs in addition to two separate channels of digital input and output. The interface also provides MIDI I/O, and the virtual instruments that come factory installed will enhance recording and unlock your creativity. Creating beats is simple with the interface's Boom drum machine and sequencer. Condenser microphones, the standard for quality recording, can be used with no problems thanks to the Mbox 2’s 48V phantom power. Once your tracks are recorded, you can mix them professionally with the onboard effects that include chorus, delay, reverb, and three separate EQ options.
