Connect Headphones or Speakers
You have to be able to hear your music, so plug in some headphones or speakers.
 Plug your headphones into the jack on the front panel. If your headphones have an 1/8-
inch plug, use the 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch adapter (included).
 If you want to use speakers, connect them to the 1/4-inch Monitor outputs
(Mon Out L and R) on the back panel (L to left, R to right).
Do not connect your Mbox 2 Mini to your computer until you’ve installed Pro Tools from your
installer DVD as described in the Quick Setup instructions.
