Mbox (3rd Gen)
The 3rd generation Mbox Family products (Mbox Mini, Mbox, Mbox Pro) were announced on September 14, 2010.

Standalone driver installers for these interfaces are available for download and include the device control panel. The control panels for the new third generation Mbox Family do not require installation of Pro Tools or connection of the Mbox device to view or configure.
If the Mbox control panel is already installed on your system, click the About button to view the Package version. Once installed, you can find the control panel in System Preferences (Mac) or Start Menu/All Programs/Avid (Windows).

  • If you are installing Pro Tools 10 or 11, please download and install the latest compatible Mac or Win driver for your interface.  If you are using Pro Tools 9 use a driver specifically listed for Pro Tools 9.
  • USB 3.0 Ports not supported with Windows 7 (more info)
