Avid MBOX Studio

Bring professional recording power to your personal studio. The MBOX Studio USB audio interface provides everything you need to make music and more. From finding inspiration while composing to recording, monitoring and mixing, its intuitive design ensures you can express your creative power to the fullest. MBOX Studio is designed with only the highest quality components, preamplifiers and audio converters in its class, allowing audio up to 24-bit, 192 kHz to be captured and mixed from input to output. Variable impedance opens up a whole range of tonal options. And with built-in zero-latency EQ, delay and reverb, along with independent cue mixes, you can get your best performance with low-latency monitoring.
