Mon (Monitor) Mute Switch
This switch mutes the Monitor Outputs, without muting the Headphone Output. This switch
does not affect recording.
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 controlled 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 directly to the Mon Out (Monitor Outputs), and is
mirrored in the Headphone output.
This ability to blend and control the relative levels 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.
Input 1 Gain Control
This knob adjusts the input gain level of the Input 1 Mic or Line/DI input, depending on
which input is enabled by the back panel Mic/DI switch.
Input 2 Gain Control
This knob adjusts the input gain level of the Input 2 Line/DI input.
