MBOX Studio is more than the simple USB audio interface of years past; it expands and accelerates your workflow. Map its buttons to access your favorite functions fast. Jam with your iPhone over Bluetooth. Record voiceovers and design sound for picture. Podcast and live stream with Loopback mixing. Even use it as a standalone monitor controller!

MBOX Studio is designed with only the highest quality components, preamps, and audio converters in its class, enabling you to capture and mix up to 24-bit, 192 kHz audio from input to output. Variable Z opens up a whole range of tonal options. And with built-in real-time EQ, delay, and reverb, plus independent cue mixing, you can deliver your best performances with low-latency tracking.

Easily create, record, edit, and mix music, plus podcast and live stream, without technology getting in the way.
