TRS to XLR-M cables. Main out of Mbox to Main in of Dbox. Main out of Dbox to powered monitors. A quick read of the manual would have given you the same info

Well it's not that simple. We had one on loan and after having to swap spdif cables and coax cables and all the fonnections needed to use the D-Box full potential ai took it back and bought a SSL Sigmafor my home,

I know this is pretty well explained:

Okay, I should have asked what the OP wants/needs out of the setup? The Mbox digital out is SPDIF while the Dbox digital input is AES, so that connection requires some kind of converter(I'm no digital expert so I can't comment on that). If the OP wants to make the most of analog summing, then Mbox is probably not the best choice of interface. Maybe something like a 003R with 8 outputs(plus main outs) would take better advantage of the summing abilities. I was steering towards the most basic so the OP could hear audio

The Mbox pro has 6 analog outputs so these could be used fir summing if needed.

Hey Phillip, your signature says Tennessee, so if that's near Nashville, I'd be happy to help out
