No Preamp won't work

You won't be able to skip using a preamp in your signal chain if you're wanting to use most microphones. The signal simply won't be strong enough. At least use the preamps on the mBox.

Just have a good acoustic space to record in and you'll be fine (if you have decent ears that is).

This might be a stretch, but I'm just guessing (and might be wrong) that if the main mic is an AKG 200 and there's no budget for a preamp, that neither the room for tracking, nor monitoring have decent acoustical design or placement. Just a guess. Although, I've heard damn good things about those Reflexion things to put near vocal mics.

OK. So long as he's not recording outside near the freeway,
he should be fine.

Frost has no budget for any upgrades --
so this should be sufficient enough for demos, learning,
developing workarounds, figuring out how to make do,
and making up for deficiencies with ingenuity.
That's how to up and come.
You don't have to spend big (yet), just work big.
