Featuring a wide range of connection options, including analog, digital, and MIDI I/O, Mbox 2 Factory delivers professional performance in an incredibly compact package. Mbox 2 also includes award-winning, easy-to-use Pro Tools LE™ 7 software, which offers many of the same features that top studios rely on to produce Grammy®-winning albums and Academy Award®–winning film sound. Projects created with Mbox 2 Factory and Pro Tools LE 7 software also open on Pro Tools|HD® and Pro Tools M-Powered™ systems — providing instant compatibility with countless Pro Tools®–equipped project and professional studio around the globe.

Nova Microphone
Using manufacturing breakthroughs pioneered by M-Audio’s popular Luna and Solaris, the new Nova cardioid redefines the entry-level price point for quality studio condenser microphones. The 1.1” evaporated gold diaphragm mounted in a solid brass capsule ensures recordings that are faithful to the source, and the Class A solid state electronics are engineered for low noise, distortion and coloration. You’ll be amazed at how much microphone Nova gives you for the money.
Axiom 25
Don’t let the compact size of the Axiom 25 fool you. This advanced 25-key USB mobile MIDI controller features both semi-weighted action and assignable aftertouch, plus eight rubberized trigger pads that put drum programming and performance at your fingertips. Eight endless rotary encoder knobs let you get your hands on synth parameters, virtual mixer controls and more. Six transport controls can also be assigned to control other MIDI parameters. Virtually everything is freely MIDI-assignable—and the backlit LCD screen makes programming easy and intuitive. You get 20 memory locations for on-board storage, plus free Enigma editor/librarian software to manage an unlimited number of setups via computer.
Studiophile AV40
The compact Studiophile™ AV 40 powered speakers deliver the same proven M-Audio technology favored by top producers, recording engineers and musicians around the world. The combination of 4” polypropylene-coated drivers and 3/4” ferrofluid-cooled silk dome tweeters provides punchy lows, crisp highs and a balanced, uncolored response. Custom cabinets with dense wood construction deliver more accurate bass response than you could ever get from plastic multimedia speakers. And for the highest possible fidelity, the Studiophile AV 40 speakers also feature OptImage III wave-guide technology and a 20 watt-per-channel internal amplifier that utilizes Class A/B architecture. The Studiophile AV 40 reference monitors are the perfect solution for traveling musicians or anyone who wants top-notch sound from their desktop multimedia system.
Structure LE - Advanced sample player for Pro Tools
Developed by the acclaimed Digidesign® Advanced Instrument Research (A.I.R.) group and optimized exclusively for Pro Tools®, Structure™ LE is an advanced sample player that provides many of the same powerful and creative features as its big brother, Structure™, for a fraction of the price. Structure LE doesn’t bother with all of the multifaceted details of sample mapping and in-depth editing as Structure does; instead it allows you to focus on quickly and easily integrating a wide range of samples into your Pro Tools sessions and tweaking them to create your own unique sounds — from the simple to the complex.
Structure LE comes with a professional 3 GB sound library from A.I.R. to get you started, though it also plays nice with native Structure samples and your unencrypted sound libraries. It also features an advanced multitimbral sound engine that handles even the most complex sounds and a powerful multi-effects processing engine to enhance your sonic creations. And like its big brother, Structure LE delivers exceptional performance and unprecedented reliability to keep your creativity flowing.
Velvet Vintage Electric Pianos
Whether you’re inspired by classic 70s rock or have an ear to create something uniquely modern, Velvet delivers stunningly realistic emulations of your favorite electric pianos. This powerful instrument plug-in emulates these classic keyboards — both in sound quality and playing feel — and provides unrivaled flexibility to achieve sounds for any style of music. From the faintness of the lightest pianissimo to the note splat of the strongest fortissimo, Velvet is capable of delivering sounds you’d normally only hear when playing the real instrument — and those that are only limited by your imagination.
