Connecting Audio Inputs
This section describes the analog inputs avail-
able on Mbox. For information about connect-
ing specific audio sources, see “Connecting a
Microphone” on page 39, and “Connecting In-
struments to the Mbox” on page 40.
Overview of Analog Inputs
Mbox inputs (sources) support microphones,
guitars, keyboards, and other types of instru-
ments. Mbox has two audio input sections, la-
beled Input 1 and Input 2. For stereo inputs, use
Input 1 for the left input, and Input 2 for the
right input.
The two input sections are located so that the
hardware input jacks line up directly behind
their corresponding input controls on the front
panel. This makes it easier to locate channel in-
put connections from the front.
Each Input section has three analog input jacks
(the Mic and Line are on a single, combo jack):
Mic For XLR microphone cables.
Line (TRS) For 1/4-inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve cables
from keyboards, mixers, and other line sources.
DI For 1/4-inch Tip-Sleeve cables from guitar,
bass, or similar sources.
For information about connecting specific au-
dio sources, see “Connecting a Microphone” on
page 39, and “Connecting Instruments to the
Mbox” on page 40.
