For a little more volume and slightly higher price (just above the Mbox 2 Pro), MOTU’s Here’s an example: with a street price around US$599, you can get the MOTU UltraLite, with 8 ins and 8 outs to the 4×6 configuration on the Mbox, onboard meters, and a dedicated headphone jack. For everyone else, I’d pass on this one, because their are too many other options.
Dedicated stereo monitor outputs, 2 headphone jacks with independent volume.1×1 MIDI interface with MIDI time stamping.S/PDIF audio I/O, phono preamp and RCA connection for turntables.24-bit/96 Khz audio over 4 inputs (2 combo jacks, 2 TRS) and 6 outputs.FireWire bus-powered (power adapter also included.Pro Tools LE with the new “ignition pack” bundle.Interfaces from a number of competitors match the Mbox 2 Pro spec for spec but with additional inputs and outputs and more features.
But other than Pro Tools, I can’t see a whole lot on this interface that can compete with similar interfaces in the same class.
If you need some extra channels for Pro Tools LE and the M-Audio interfaces leave you cold, this could be a good choice, though I’d take a good look at the 002 first if you have the space. Adding to the flood of new computer audio interfaces this summer is the Mbox 2 Pro from Digidesign, filling a gap left long ago by the old Digi 001.
