Digi 003 factory plus pro#
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. 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.
