Designed for Extreme Audio Production
Without a doubt, the MX2 EX is our fastest system available. It features the Intel XEON 5500 Nehalem series Quad Core processors with Intel Turbo Boost and QuickPath technology. It can easily be configured with either one or two Quad-core processors for up to 8-Cores (OCTO) of processing power.
This system was designed for extreme audio and video production and will perform beyond expectations.

Run More Virtual Instruments & Plug-ins
The MX2 is designed to remove the limitations on your production. Now you will have the power to run more virtual instruments and software plug-ins without bottlenecks.
Engineered to Stay Cool & Quiet
The MX2 series is engineered to stay cool and quite. All of the components have been carefully chosen and include special audio noise reducing insulation in the chassis, heat-pipe vibration and noise reducing hard drive enclosures, whisper quire chassis fans, a 0DB PCI-e graphics board and a high-performance 600-Watt EPS heatpipe power supply.
The processor is kept cool with the ultra quiet Austrian engineered and manufactured Noctua NHU12P SE1366 processor heat-sink.

Darrell Jones-Music Professional, Videographer and IT Professional. I’ve been in the music business for many years as a bassist for Patti Labelle, Billy Preston, and Shalamar. I’ve been and IT professional for over 20 years. When I decided to upgrade my home studio, I discovered Terra Digital Audio over 3 years ago and in 2005 I purchased my first Terra Digital Audio system; the M6-R to run my Pro Tools studio. Last year I added video production to the studio and purchased the Terra Digital Audio MX2-R quad processor system. T
hese systems are fantastic and yes; I will continue to do business with Terra Digital Audio for my future updates as well. Peace Darrell Jones DigitaLoft Media, LLC Delaware, OH USA
