Re: Accessability - Avid MBox Pro
Hi, The MBox that I looked at was the USB powered one that has two microphone plugs as well as a headphone plug and some other connections that I am not sure what they do. Which MBox does this sound like? What is the difference in the MBox and the MBox mini? Nick Gawronski On 3/11/2015 9:19 PM, TheOreoMonster wrote: Martin is asking about the MBox Pro.

Re: Accessability - Avid MBox Pro
Hi, I am thinking there are two different products with the same name as the one at school I looked at connects using an USB port and had the two microphone plugs along with the headphone plugs and other connections is this product that requires no external power to operate different then the one you are talking about? I am trying to locate something that is easy to connect microphones and headphones to when traveling. Nick Gawronski On 3/11/2015 3:53 PM, Martin Sopart wrote: Hi Nick!

Re: Accessability - Avid MBox Pro
Hi, Is this the same device that has the two inputs and just runs over the USB port and works with Pro Tools? I was thinking of buying one of these interfaces for recording when traveling but don't want to buy something I can't use for recording if portions are not usable with voiceover? Is this hardware usable on windows as well for connecting a good quality microphone to my computer and recording with the windows system?

Selling an Mbox Pro 3rd Gen
Hello, I am selling my mBox Pro 3rd Gen which is the current model avid makes. Also my Tascam US2400 as i plan to replace them both with an interface/control surface combo. Email if interested off list. In my experiences the US2400 control surface worked fine in PT 10 and PT 9 but you do get the error that it can't be found every so often. when this happens, save your project, quit pt and restart it.

Re: Mbox pro
Firewire 800 should be backwards compatible. The macs all now have firewire 800 ports and a firewire 800 to 400 cable does the trick. or a fire wire 400 cable with a 400 to 800 adapter works as well.The MBox has 2 firewire 400 ports. Your model of mac will determine how many and which port it has. On 9/27/11, J. R.

Re: Mbox pro
I'm using the cable that came with it, and a little converter they included, to make it into the square shaped plug with the ditch in the top, whichever that is, I'm never sure. Also included, was a firewire cable with a smaller plug on the end, kind of like Miny USB, but that doesn't fit, not sure what they're called, but either way, the interface doesn't work. I have a friend coming round tomorrow to try and dig into the driver, and fix the bloody thing for me. Any ideas as to why it's not working?

Re: Mbox pro
I powered it, and I'm not entirely sure how to select it in PT to be honest, I'll have a look now though.

I assume you installed the drivers before connecting it? did u use the latest version from Avid's website instead of the ones that came in the box on the cd? did u select it in PT?
