General

Towards the end of the nineties, the original MBOX dropped and brought a revolution with it. Offering clean preamps, an outstanding amount of headroom and minimum noise, the original Focusrite collaboration guaranteed professional recording. Now, the Avid MBOX Studio has been upgraded with a new set of up-to-date converters, a stack of DSP effects, a mass of inputs and outputs and a freshened up housing. The ability to record in 192kHz and with extremely low latency is just a couple of the impressive features the next-gen MBOX has on offer. Designed specifically for guitarists, the Variable-Z input helps complete the effect chain by matching the right impedance with your amps and pedals, and the included Eleven MKII will also be good news for guitarists: a complete package that compiles the best-of-the-best when it comes to simulated effect stompboxes - and more.

Built-in Reamp Function & Tuner Plus World-Class DSP Effects

Another unique feature in the world of audio interfaces is the reamping function, so the DI signal can be recorded via a plugin before the signal is run through a valve-driven amplifier head and a miked-up speaker cabinet. This professional feature basically means that you're able to tweak the natural sound of recordings after they've been made. The built-in tuner is another nice addition - removing the faff of any external tuners, and to support the mixing process, the MBOX can also be setup as a standalone monitor controller; can be paired with an iPhone via Bluetooth to support jamming sessions; and can even be used to create personalised monitor mixes for a number of musicians. Then there's the stack of studio-quality built-in effects, including delay, reverb and EQ - all via DSP. In fact, thanks to the loopback function, you can even livestream and produce podcasts with this comprehensive chunk of hardware - the list is virtually endless...
