Mbox Pro Setup Guide40
To connect a sound system:
 For stereo monitoring, connect Line out 1 and
2 to the inputs of your left and right speak-
ers/monitors. You can hook up more than one
set of stereo speakers and switch between them
(Speaker A, B, C switching). See “Setup (Output
Setup)” on page 59
Line Output 1–6
Line Outputs 1–6 can be connected to any de-
vice that has analog inputs. Use these six bal-
anced 1/4-inch TRS outputs to feed analog de-
vices such as headphone amps or cue systems
for discrete headphone mixes, samplers, or a sec-
ondary recorder.
There are other use for Line Outputs, such as:
• Stereo main monitors (Outputs 1–2)
• Stereo/Alt monitors (Outputs 3–4)
• Surround (Outputs 1–6)
To connect additional Mbox Pro outputs:
1 Using 1/4-inch TRS cables, connect any of the
Line Out (1–6) connectors on the back panel to
the inputs of your external devices.
Additional Analog Outputs
Mbox Pro provides a total of four insert jacks
(Inserts 1–4), for inserting external processing
devices on input channels. (See “Insert Jacks” on
page 37.) Insert jacks are for putting a hardware
signal processor (like and EQ or compressor) be-
tween the onboard mic preamp and the on-
board analog to digital convertor.
Line Out connectors for monitors on Mbox Pro
Home stereo systems often use RCA connec-
tors. You can use an adaptor or a special ca-
ble to convert from the TRS or TS connectors
used by Mbox Pro to the RCA connectors on
your home stereo.
Mbox Pro is capable of 5.1 control room
monitoring complete with custom configu-
ration and routing controls. For more infor-
mation, see “Setup (Output Setup)” on
page 59.
