so my soundcard has been acting funny...when i record it sounds bit muffled,im thinkin the preamps are going because ive unplugged my mic a few times with phantom power on...

i was gonna get the mbox but i was wondering if it would be worth getting the mbox 2?or is it basicly the same as one?or should i just get the mbox mini?watst he difference?


preciate any help

That shouldn't be a problem for start's. I do it, and I've never heard of it damaging anyones equipment.

Mbox wise, 'I think' they changed the pre's from focusrite to M-audio from 1 to 2. And the mini only has 1 mic input. But I'm pretty sure they'll both run PT 7, although you may have to upgrade to 7 if you buy an Mbox1.

colonel_sanders is correct about the pre's being focusrite in mbox1, i have had both and actually liked the sound of mbox 1 better. Any reason you want mbox rather than other interface? May be able to get something better for your money.

If your mic takes phantom power, always make sure it is indeed turned off before plugging or unplugging your mic. I haven't heard of it messing up the pre, but you can potenially kill a mic that way. I've done it.

well ive tried other mics so it has to be the sound card because im getting the same sound...teh reason i wann mbox is because i wana run with protools...unless u can change my mind?but ur saying the only diffences between the mini is the mic inputs?because i only need 1 mic input
