Mbox 2 Mini Getting Started Guide30
Mix (Ratio) Control
Mbox 2 Mini gives you the ability to monitor
your analog input signals while recording, with-
out the delay incurred by A/D/A converters and
host-based processing.
This zero-latency analog monitoring is con-
trolled with the Mix knob, which you can use to
blend and adjust the monitor ratio between
Mbox 2 Mini analog inputs and Pro Tools play-
back.
To listen to just the source input signal, turn the
Mix knob fully left to Input. To listen to
Pro Tools output only, turn the knob fully right
to Playback.
The output from the Mix control is routed di-
rectly to the Mon Out (Monitor Outputs), and is
mirrored in the Headphone output.
This ability to blend and control the relative lev-
els of Pro Tools playback and latency-free live
analog inputs can be particularly effective when
overdubbing.
USB LED
The USB LED indicates that the Mbox 2 Mini
has received power from its USB connection.
Once the USB light is on, audio can pass in or
out of the system.

put 1 Mic or Line/DI input, depending on which

put 2 Line/DI input.
