On closer examination I discovered that this was because the printed circuit board at the front of the unit is not anchored to the case, so the knobs and headphone socket are able to move within their holes. When I took the M Box 2 Mini out of the box I noticed that it rattled, which is never a good sign.

The first has a few notes on registration, installation and so on, and the second is headed 'Quick Start', but is just labelled 'page one' and refers to pages from what I can only assume is the Quick Start PDF guide on the installation disc, although this isn't made clear. With the smaller unit comes a smaller shipping box, and there isn't room for the usual printed Quickstart guide instead, there are just two pieces of A4 paper that have been folded into four to fit in the box (this gives you an idea of just how small the M Box 2 Mini is). Let's take a look at what has gone and see what has survived Digidesign's shrinking process. In essence a smaller, cut-down version of the standard M Box 2, the Mini has much in common with the larger model.

If portability, or indeed affordability, is important to you in a Pro Tools system, the M Box 2 Mini could well be perfect for you. Pro Tools in your pocket? Well, not quite, but the latest addition to Digidesign's M Box range is by far the smallest yet. Digidesign have shrunk the M Box to give us the most compact and affordable Pro Tools interface ever.
