Mbox Mini Question
I used to be a big fan of the 'Monitor' knob when I owned my Mbox 2 but I notice that the Mini doesn't have this feature. I personally prefer to monitor my artist with studio headphones anyway so my question is :
Couldn't I just purchase another set of monitoring headphones and plug them directly to my powered monitors while the artist's headphones remain plugged into the Mbox mini? |

Re: Mbox Mini Question
Ah, the second knob over is the "Mix" Knob
Its even labled "Mix" on my Mbox Micro to make it easier to identify. Or do you have a MBox "Micro"? With no input the Micro would have no need for a Mix knob.

What your asking then is can you use the MBox2 Minis monitor level control with 2 outputs (headphones and monitors) at the same time?

basically... I want my artist to have one set of headphones and I'd have the other....his set would plug in directly to the Mbox mini and my set would plug directly into the powered monitors... I just need to know if that would work, that's all It may even be a silly question but I've never done it before so I need to know before I purchase the mini. Thanks |

Re: Mbox Mini Question
Well I will go check for you, I never use them both at once.
Check back in a minute. Minutes up! They both work at the same time. In my case they head phones (Sennheiser HD 280s) were quite loud and the monitors (M Audios) were not as loud as normal so you might have to expiriment with finding the right balance between the two. What I didn't do was unplug the headphones during layback and see if the monitor volume increases when the phones disconnect. Back in a minute. I'm back! Nope volume is fine when you pull the headphones out. Nothing changes. You may need to turn up your volume at the monitors if your trying to balance out the headphine volume. A inline headphone attenuater would do the trick and depending on your equiptment you may not have the same amount of headphone volume as me. After comparing the second time the volume with the 002 to the Mbox2 Mini the volume is about the same. Hope that helps. BTW do your monitors have a headphone out? You normally wouldn't connect headphones to a speaker level output if the what your thinking of doing. You would want to aquire some type of headphone splitter if that was the case.
