Mbox 3 Pro discontinued? B&H Photo says so

I can't believe this. Discontinued? or are they just not carrying it anymore.

It's a month before NAMM 2012... is there something we should know about?

[digi003]

doubt it, its not been out that long.

The link to a "similar item" gives you the same Mbox 3.

the LE 8 software included in the discounted page might have something to do with it

Thanks Anthony.

Never mind.

But this does bring up a question in my mind. I am seriously thinking of getting a Mbox Pro 3. But NAMM is next month. Do you think Avid has something new up their sleeve that I should wait for.

Crystal ball time...

That particular product is the one bundled with PT8, so it makes sense that it's discontinued. They still have the one bundled with PT9, and the hardware only version, both in stock and not labeled discontinued.

There won't be a new version of the Mboxes for at least a few years, because that's how the cycle goes, so you don't have to worry about this being replaced anytime soon.

The most likely thing they will introduce in the coming months would be the replacement for the 003, or something in that price range. Most likely it would be the same sound quality as the new Mboxes (which is quite good), only with more inputs/outputs.

Bump.

I just saw at B&H... there are no MBox Pro. None. Anyone?

Alright... they still have the one with educational discount, which for me (not American) is a no go.
