With Mbox 2, it’s easy to get started creating
right away. Plug your guitar or bass directly
into the DI jack (without the need for an extra
preamp), your keyboard or mixer into the line
jack, or your mic into the XLR jack, and you’re
ready to go. Onboard 48V phantom power gives
you the option of using high-quality condenser
mics, and independent source selection for the
two analog inputs allows you to mix and match
input sources—record a direct guitar track in
one analog channel along with a vocal in the
other. Easily accessible gain controls on the
front panel let you dial in the right levels while a
built-in pad button makes it simple to attenuate
hot signals by 20 dB.
