Blazing speed from Intel Core Duo processor
No computer on earth makes it as easy to work with digital audio, digital photos, movies, and the web as the new iMac. And now it all happens with blazing speed - powered by the revolutionary Intel Core 2 Duo. With two processors built onto a single chip, this new Intel engine kicks iMac performance up to a whole new level. Coupled with the world's most advanced operating system, Mac OS X, iMac will run all your software, fast.
The Intel Core 2 Duo offers a second-generation chip born of Intel's new 65-nanometer process. That process lets Intel create incredibly small transistors - small enough, in fact, to fit a hundred inside a single human cell. With two powerful processors designed to share resources and circuitry so unimaginably small, Intel Core 2 Duo achieves far higher levels of performance while actually consuming less power. And, with its 64-bit processor architecture, the Intel Core 2 Duo can manipulate data and execute instructions in chunks that are twice as large (64 bits versus 32 bits), delivering advanced computational power to iMac.
Built-in iSight allows instant videoconferencing
There's an iSight camera built into every new iMac, so you can start a video chat (or join one) at a moment's notice. There's nothing extra to buy, nothing to attach, no cords to fumble with, no software to install or configure. Simply start up iChat AV, click your buddy's video icon and you're ready to chat with sight and sound - with up to three friends at once.
Control your audio and video with Front Row and the Apple Remote
With the new iMac, you've got the best seat in the house. The full-screen Front Row media experience - with its intuitive menus, large text and brilliant graphics - lets you browse the music, photos, and videos on your iMac as easily as you browse music on your iPod. And the new Apple Remote lets you do your browsing from anywhere in the room. So gather your friends and dazzle them with a slideshow of your tour pics, a home movie, or a DVD.
Includes enhanced iLife '06 software bundle
iMac comes with iLife '06, a suite of easy-to-use applications that make the spectacular part of your everyday life. Enhance, organize and share your photos via iPhoto. Make an epic starring your kid in iMovie. Turn your photo and movie creations into professional DVDs with iDVD. Create original music in GarageBand, even if you can't carry a tune. Make podcasts and blogs. Then publish them online via your .Mac account and the all-new iWeb2.

In addition, two advanced function buttons can be used to assign other MIDI messages.
USB power for convenience

The M-Audio Keystation 61es is a flexible and affordable controller! The New Digidesign Mbox - Even Better Than Before!
Digidesign's Mbox 2 is the follow-up to the wildly successful Mbox, with some heavy-duty improvements! The original Mbox helped thousands of musicians get into Pro Tools LE thanks to its ease of use, integration with Pro Tools software, great sonic characteristics, and affordable price. Digidesign listened to their customers and created the new, improved Mbox 2 based on that feedback. Mbox 2 sounds better on both input and output, has an integrated MIDI interface, offers more simultaneous audio I/O, and includes more free value-added software and tools. Plus, the Mbox 2 has a cool new, more flexible industrial design.
Digidesign Mbox 2 Audio/MIDI Interface at a Glance:
- Superior sound quality from new preamps and converters
- More simultaneous audio inputs
- New MIDI I/O
- More software tools
- All the advantages of Pro Tools LE
- Great new hardware design
Superior sound quality from new preamps and converters
Digidesign rolled up their sleeves and went to work to make sure the Mbox 2 delivers superior sound quality that easily surpasses the sound of almost any other bus-powered USB-audio interface. Mbox 2 features newly-designed mic preamps (designed by Digidesign) and new A/D and D/A converters, offering an impressive dynamic range that translates into much more headroom and a significantly lower noise floor. The result is that Mbox 2 users can record ideas more accurately and play them back in greater fidelity than ever before.
More simultaneous audio inputs
Unlike the original Mbox, Mbox 2 enables you to use the two analog inputs in conjunction with the two channels of S/PDIF digital input on the unit to achieve four simultaneous channels of audio input. That means it's easy to connect a drum machine, keyboard, sampler, or other gear and record simultaneously.
New MIDI I/O
Even with modern computers, it pays to install fewer devices and conserve bus bandwidth. Unlike the original Mbox, Mbox 2 features a MIDI in/out port, offering improved integration with MIDI controllers, hardware synthesizers and samplers, and virtual instruments. That means you don't need an additional MIDI interface!
More software tools
Mbox 2 includes more free software and tools than the original Mbox, including the new Pro Tools Ignition Pack. With Mbox 2, you have more powerful software applications, plug-ins, and other valuable tools to start creating right out of the box.
