Mbox Mini Setup Guide12
Connecting a Sound System
The Monitor Outputs on the back of Mbox Mini
support 1/4-inch plugs. These connections can
be balanced, TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) style connec-
tors, or unbalanced TS (Tip-Sleeve) connectors
(such as those on instrument cables). To listen
to your to audio, connect these outputs to any
amplification system: powered speakers, a home
stereo system, or an audio mixer.
To connect a sound system:
For stereo monitoring, connect Monitor Out-
puts 1 and 2 to the inputs of your main left and
right speakers.
To connect to a stereo system:
When connecting to a stereo system, connect
the left channel of the stereo (often the white
plug) to Monitor Output 1, and the right chan-
nel of the stereo (often the red plug) to
Monitor Output 2.
Connecting Audio Inputs
Mbox Mini inputs (sources) support micro-
phones, guitars, keyboards, and other types of
instruments. For information about connecting
specific audio sources, see “Connecting a Micro-
phone to Mbox Mini” on page 13, and “Con-
necting Instruments to the Mbox Mini” on
page 14.
Overview of Analog Inputs
Mbox Mini provides a total of two channels of
analog input on the back panel. These jacks are
labeled Mic/Line and DI (input 1) and Line/DI
(input 2).
Mic/Line (Input 1)
Input 1 provides Mic/Line and DI input connec-
tors. Inputs are selectable with the back panel
Combo/DI switch. When the Combo/DI switch
is pressed in, the DI input is selected (the DI in-
put jack is located above the Line/DI jack.).
When not pressed in, the combo connector
jacks (XLR, 1/4-inch) are selected.
Mic For XLR microphone cables.
Line (TRS or TS) For 1/4-inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve or
Tip-Sleeve cables from keyboards, mixers, and
other line-level sources.
Line/DI (Input 2)
Input 2 provides a Line/DI input connector. The
input is selectable with the back panel Line/DI
switch (located to the upper-left of the input).
This input appears as Analog In (2) in Pro Tools.
DI For 1/4-inch Tip-Sleeve cables from guitar,
bass, or similar sources.
Stereo output from the Mbox Mini (back panel)
Home stereo systems often use RCA connec-
tors. You can use an adaptor or a special ca-
ble to convert from the 1/4-inch TRS connec-
tors used by Mbox to the RCA connectors on
your home stereo.
