Avid Celebrates the Return of Its Immensely Popular MBOX Desktop Interface to Enable Professional-Quality Music and Audio Creation and Recording at Home
20 October 2022 - 3:42AM
Today at the AES Show 2022 in New York City, Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID)
announced the return of its MBOX® desktop audio interface with a
brand-new offering, the MBOX Studio powered by Pro Tools software.
MBOX Studio completes the picture for musicians and other audio
creators in their home studios who want to record, edit and mix
vocals, musical instruments and other sources for songs, podcasts,
streams and other audio with exceptional sonic clarity.
Long sought after for its ability to bring power, simplicity,
and pristine quality to the production process, the original MBOX
was one of the most popular audio interfaces Avid ever made. Now
reimagined for a new generation of creators, the new MBOX Studio is
a fully-featured USB interface solution that operates on both Mac
and Windows operating systems running not only the bundled Pro
Tools Studio subscription, but also any third-party digital audio
workstations. Users can easily connect mics, instruments, studio
monitors, Bluetooth® devices, and other analog, digital and MIDI
gear with 21 inputs and 22 outputs—more than any other desktop
interface. For optimal sound quality, MBOX Studio relies on the
same mic pre-amps found in Avid’s S6L and Pro Tools Carbon
system.
MBOX Studio users immediately tap into a wealth of exciting new
tools to support their creative process and expand their production
repertoire. Free with the purchase of MBOX Studio are one-year
subscriptions for Pro Tools Studio and Avid Sibelius Artist music
notation software, in addition to the bundled MBOX Ignition Pack
bringing Brainworx Megadual, Ampeg SVT-VR Classic and many other
plugins and tools. Throughout the year, the Avid Inner Circle
program also brings additional free product drops with thousands of
dollars-worth of plugins, beats, loops and virtual instruments.
“We’re thrilled to bring MBOX back to the music creation
community, who are a very big influence upon Avid’s continuous
surge of hardware and software innovation,” said Francois Quereuil,
Vice President, Product Management for Audio and Music Solutions,
Avid. “Our re-creation of MBOX is uncompromising. It’s overflowing
with an amazing array of software tools and takes advantage of the
same high-performance components found in Avid’s professional-grade
audio solutions, guaranteeing best-in-class sound quality and
production for anyone, from entry-level performers to the most
accomplished artists.”
Unlock a new dimension in guitar soundMBOX
Studio lets users go further than ever before to find their perfect
guitar sounds. With variable Z impedance switching on instrument
inputs, users can change guitar tones while recording to complement
the effects chain. They can also play through the renowned Guitar
Amp plug-in Eleven® MK II and numerous stompbox effects, in
addition to incorporating personal outboard guitar effects pedals,
reamplifying tracks, and staying pitch-perfect with the built-in
tuner.
Elevate audio creativity in podcasts and social
videosMBOX Studio also streamlines and accelerates
workflows for podcasting, live streaming, social video, and sound
design for picture. For example, users can assign buttons to their
favorite functions to inject sound effects and bring in other
sources and content such as intro music and voice overs—enabling
users to quickly produce more polished and professional
content.
MBOX Studio pricing and availability MBOX
Studio is available for pre-order today through Avid resellers
starting at $899 USD. For more information, visit

Engineering Society Show 2022 (booth 155), Avid also debuted Pro

enables individual artists, bands and producers using either Pro
Tools | Carbon® or third-party audio interfaces to easily
expand their studios to capture every sonic detail of their
performances. Avid is also demonstrating the new Pro Tools now
