Differences Between Mbox 2 and Mbox 2 Mini
- Mic
Preamps: Mbox 2 has two mic
preamps; Mbox 2 Mini has one.
- Simultaneous
I/O: Mbox 2 supports up to
four simultaneous inputs when using the S/PDIF digital I/O in
addition to the analog inputs; Mbox 2 Mini supports two
simultaneous channels of I/O.
- MIDI
Ports: Mbox 2 has MIDI I/O
ports (16 channels in/16 channels out); Mbox 2 Mini does not have
MIDI I/O ports. However, Pro Tools LE software provides full MIDI
capabilities, so Mbox 2 Mini owners can still record MIDI by using
a separate MIDI interface or a keyboard/controller with a built-in
MIDI interface. You can also sequence MIDI in Pro Tools LE via the
integrated Step Sequencer or by simply drawing in
notes.
- S/PDIF Digital
I/O: Mbox 2 has S/PDIF
digital I/O ports supporting two simultaneous channels of digital
I/O; Mbox 2 Mini does not have digital I/O ports.
