Digidesign's New Mbox 2 Micro


Have you ever been waiting at an airport or sitting on the couch and wish you could work with Pro Tools? Well now you can, and without a big m-box sitting on your lap and covering yourself with wires.
Digidesign recently introduced the new Mbox 2 Micro. This little bad boy packs an audio interface into an anodized aluminum USB key.You get one audio output: an 1/8″ stereo output jack, upgrading your laptop’s headphone out jack to 24-bit, 48KHz monitoring. This means the Micro is all you need to carry to run Pro Tools. It's basically a dongle with a headphone jack
You get Pro Tools LE, 45 plug-ins (Bomb Factory + DigiRack), and Xpand playback and synthesis, for 279 dollars.
The only downside I see in this is that if you already have Pro Tools LE Is like you are paying 279 dollars for an extra dongle. Maybe they could offer the micro for a lower price to people who already have LE but I doubt it with all of the piracy issues at hand.
So all in all I would say this would be a great little item for those who don’t yet own Pro Tools LE already.
