The headphone outputs are not affected by the Monitor Mute switch, but do follow the Mono switch. Both headphone outputs will be fed with the Aux In signal when Aux In (to monitor) is enabled.

The two headphone outputs normally mirror outputs 1/2 in Pro Tools, and are independent of the monitor outputs, but the second headphone output can mirror outputs 3/4 when the '3/4-HP2' switch is selected. Sync indicators on the front panel show the active external clock source, from word clock, SPDIF and ADAT.ĭigidesign have also introduced into the 003 family the second headphone output they added to the M Box 2 Pro. Unlike the M Box 2 Pro, what's more, the 003 can clock to external signals at up to 96kHz. This was a feature first offered in the LE range of interfaces with the introduction of the M Box 2 Pro (reviewed in November 2006: The word clock in and out ports let you connect BNC cables to synchronise your 003(R) to incoming word clock signals, and synchronise other devices to Pro Tools-generated word clock. Many prospective buyers will welcome the inclusion of word clock input and output ports on both the 003 and 003R. Most of the enhancements that have been made thus relate to the 003, as the 002 had more features than the 002R to start with! However, there are some improvements that apply to both models. Like the 002, the 003 combines a multi-channel audio and MIDI interface with an eight-fader control surface, while its rackmount sibling includes the interface without the control surface. There are some new features and many improvements, but the basic functionality or philosophy behind the products hasn't changed, and of course they still come with the highly respected Pro Tools LE DAW software. As with the M Box 2, it's clear that these are not intended to provide anything radically different from their predecessors. The new models are called, perhaps unsurprisingly, the 003 and 003R. Just my unprofessional, unscientific $.02 images/icons/smile.Digidesign's LE range has received a comprehensive overhaul in the last year, and the new flagship 003 and 003 Rack incorporate many improvements over their predecessors.Īfter many rumours, Digidesign recently announced the replacements for their popular 002 and 002R interfaces. The next thing I might add would be some sort of diffusion on the back wall. That 4" wedge behind the monitors really does a lot to help out of control bass. So the bad room dimensions can't be hurting me that much. They've been translating well to everything I listen to them on.
When mixing, I always make sure to check the mix carefully at lower levels, to take the room out of the equation, but this rarely seems to reveal any serious mistakes. I have the monitors set up so they form roughly a 3' x 3' x 3' triangle with the spot where I sit. There's a pretty nasty spot in the room where the bass gets noticably boosted, but luckily it's in the back of the room. To be honest, as bad as it should be, we've been doing quite well with it.
That's all I have right now, aside from wall to wall carpet. I covered most of the wall in back of the monitors with 4" Auralex wedge foam, and put Auralex bass traps in the corners of the opposite wall. Another issue with smaller rooms is that you're generally stuck putting the monitors close to the wall, which is also not ideal. So in our case, these are only monitoring issues, not recording issues. That is, triggered drums, direct guitar and bass etc. It's important to note that any recording that's actually taking place in that room is direct. Worse yet, it's a basement room with three concrete and cinder block walls. That's just about a perfect half cube.ideal for the above problems. Having said that, I'm currently set up in a room that's about the worst of all 's about 13' x 13' with a real low ceiling, where the ceiling height is about half the wall length. A square room can definately be a problem, as the geometry is perfect for getting standing waves, cancellation, hot spots etc, especially with bass frequencies.
