A mono instrument uses one input on the
Mbox 2 Academic, and a stereo instrument
uses two. Creating a stereo track in
Pro Tools will not make a mono instrument
into a stereo instrument. If a mono instru-

Use the Gain controls to maximize the signal
going into Pro Tools while avoiding clipping.
Clipping occurs when you feed a signal to an
audio device that is louder than the circuitry
can accept. To avoid clipping, adjust the out-
put volume of the source device, then adjust
the Mbox 2 Academic Gain control. Adjust
these two levels so that the input Peak LEDs
on the front panel do not light red. (One Peak
LED is provided on the front panel for each
input; Peak LEDs light green when the input
signal is roughly –60 dBFS, light yellow at
–6 dBFS, and will turn red to indicate the in-
put signal is at –0 dBFS (also known as “full
code”).
