      M-Audio MobilePre mk II (H65460)
Availability:  


The next generation of the best-selling MoblePre USB.

The next-generation MobilePre delivers even more pro features than its best-selling predecessor, so you can record a wider variety of sources with higher audio quality. Connect guitars, microphones, keyboards, drum machines, synths, and other devices, and simultaneously record two sources with 24-bit/48 kHz (better-than-CD) sound. Thanks to the ergonomic design, you can control input gain and volume with convenient top-panel knobs, and monitor your recording without latency at the press of a button.

Make music like the pros
The included Pro Tools SE music recording and creation software delivers many of the same powerful features that studio professionals use to create Grammy Award-winning albums, Emmy Award-winning television shows, and Academy Award-winning films. This easy-to-use software lets you create music with up to 24 tracks, and also includes a huge loop library and over 100 virtual instruments to build out your mixes. Add EQ, reverb, and other built-in effects to make your music sound professionally produced.

Universal compatibility
If you want even more tracks, effects, virtual instruments, and loops, MobilePre is compatible with Pro Tools M-Powered software—the same recording platform used by studio professionals around the world. You can also use MobilePre with GarageBand, Logic, Live, Record, and virtually every other popular music application.

Record Your Guitar
Want to record guitar with your computer? What about bass or keyboards? MobilePre can make your dream a reality. Simply connect it via USB to your PC or Mac, plug in your instruments, and you're good to go. You can also use the included Pro Tools SE recording software and effects to layer tracks with your instruments and create professional-sounding mixes.

Record vocals and acoustic instruments
MobilePre features switchable +48V phantom power, so you can connect a studio-grade condenser (powered) microphone like the M-Audio Nova for pro-quality recordings. The interface's two-input, two-output design lets you record a vocal mic and another instrument simultaneously, so you can capture song ideas or collaborate with other musicians.

Monitor without distracting latency
All digital audio recording systems introduce a small delay between the instrument input and the output coming from the computer. This "latency" can be distracting enough to cause pitch and timing errors when you're recording. MobilePre solves this latency problem with a direct monitor button, which lets you hear your instruments directly through the interface before they go into the computer.

M-Audio MobilePre mk II Features:

  • MobilePre audio interface
    24-bit, 48kHz (better-than-CD) audio quality record two sources simultaneously
    2 front-panel XLR/TS combo jacks for recording microphones and/or instruments
    2 rear-panel line inputs for recording line-level sources such as keyboards, drum machines, synthesizers, and more
    Front/Rear Input Select button—record via front-panel combo jacks or rear-panel line inputs
    4 top-panel knobs for adjusting input/output levels and headphone volume
    48V Phantom Power switch to power studio-quality condenser microphones
    Direct Monitor button for monitoring your recording without distracting latency
    Rear-panel line outputs for connecting studio monitors
    headphone input
    USB port for connection and power

    Integrated learning tools make it easy to create music

  • Interface, good... Pro Tools, bad

    As reviewed by Julio on 1/23/2011

    I got this interface for Christmas a while ago. The interface is cool. It has gain level for both channels, headphones and output level, line level inputs, phantom power, its great. It worked pretty good with my guitar. Pro Tools is what gives this product a 3-star review. Pro Tools Se, included in this product, has a big problem. When I tried to record, it sounded good, I could hear the backing track, and myself playing, it was all good. When I pressed playback, the guitar track that I had just recorded was replaced by a horrible static noise. Sometimes it is not even heard! I figured it could be too much gain, since I had used an amp before connecting it to the line level input, so I turned the gain knob all the way down. Nope. Maybe the program had a problem, and it needed an online upgrade, so I checked that it had the latest version of Pro Tools Se to date. It had. When I looked up in forums, absolutely no one knew how to fix this. AVID told that we should just change the preferences to "Mixing" instead of "Recording". It worked like 3 times, and then the noise came again. The most curious thing is, that I worked on various songs, and it jsut stopped working when I started recording "Smells Like Teen Spirit". I don't thing that had anything to do, but I mean, I could record guitar tracks in like 10 songs perfectly, and when I started recording that sames song, the problem came out. So if you want to buy this for the program, I wouldnt recommend it. Or at least, be ready to upgrade it. Although I havent tried it yet, I would recommend the "M-Powered" version of Pro Tools, since it is the cheapest to upgrade to. Or, if you want it for the interface, I would recommend it, bur be prepared with another recording software. This last one is the best choice, since the interface works with different kinds of recording softwares, and Pro Tools doesnt, it only works with M-Audio products.

  • A Great Value

    As reviewed by ATGuitarist on 1/3/2011

    I needed an audio interface to use with my Mac and debated between USB and Firewire. Obviously, firewire would be the ideal but in the end I opted for USB 2.0 since, at this stage, I only need it to record guitars and vocals and that only one at a time. The MobilePre + Garageband makes a nice setup for recording demos. I am not using Protools SE so I can't really comment on that. The setup was a breeze. Plugged in my KRK speakers, connected the USB cable to my Mac and that was it - nothing to install. I am using an amp modeling effects processor through the XLR port and have no problems. One word of advice if you are using with Garageband, when you create your track you have "Mono 1", "Mono 2", and "Stereo 1/2" listed as input sources. If you are recording from a single source, you will want to select whichever mono source courresponds to the port you are plugged into on the MobilePre. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that I did try connecting the guitar cable directly to use some of Garageband's amp models and noticed a hiss still trying to determine the source of that. The amp models in GB aren't as good as my modeler so that is no big deal but it could affect it's usefulness for others. Overall this was a good purchase and I am sure it will serve my purposes for sometime to come.
