Output
Audio playback in Mbox is supported with audio embedded in movies and also with "sidecar" audio files. Either of these
playback options can have between two and twenty-four channels of audio. Audio playback and output from the Mbox
2016 Dual Output server is typically two channels - stereo. And as noted above the Scarlett 2i2 audio interface is limited
to two channels of output.
For audio output from Mbox, the audio destination and number of channels must be selected on the application's
Preferences tab. With the standard audio interface, the destination selection would be "Scarlett 2i2 USB" and the
number of channels would normally be set to "2". When setting the number of channels, some exceptions do exist,
depending on the number of channels in the actual audio file. Refer to "Audio Output" on page 99 of the Mbox software
user manual for information on configuring the Mbox application for audio output.
The Scarlett 2i2 interface has several adjustments that can be made to affect the output signal:
+
Direct Monitor - This switch, when turned to the On position, causes the input audio to be routed directly to the
output. When outputting audio from the Mbox application, this switch should be turned off.
+
Monitor - This knob controls the output level of the XLR outputs on the right side of the unit. Start with the knob at
12 o'clock and adjust as required.
+
Headphones - The 1/4" TRS jack can be used to monitor the output. The level knob adjusts the level of the
headphone output only.
