Audio Interfaces

Avid Pro Tools | Carbon™, hybrid native and HDX audio interface with 8 DSPs for processing AAX DSP plug-ins. Comes with Pro Tools Ultimate Perpetual + 12 months of support and updates.

ARTICLE N° 74906
The Pro Tools audio interface | Carbon™ is equipped with high-end converters and preamps. It connects to your computer via an Ethernet port (or using an Ethernet to Thunderbolt adapter).
This interface is a first for Avid since it is hybrid in the sense that it integrates 8 AAX DSPs and therefore does not require a PCIe HDX Core card to manage AAX DSP plug-ins with inaudible latency.
This solution provides an incredible gain in power for your recording or mixing sessions loaded with number of tracks and software processing. From Pro Tools, activate this hybrid DSP engine on the tracks that require it.
Pro Tools Carbon is the ultimate interface for all types of recording, from soloists to full groups, thanks to its 25 inputs (including 8 ultra-crystalline preamps) and 34 simultaneous outputs (including 4 headphone outputs).

CONVERTERS:
The best sound quality starts with exceptional audio converters.
We've gone the extra mile by designing ours with four ADCs per channel, delivering a remarkable 126dB of dynamic range. From the input, to the HDX DSPs and into Pro Tools, the entire gain structure operates in a uniform 32-bit fashion, providing more headroom without any signal degradation.

CLOCK :
Get dual-resolution sync
Clock accuracy is crucial to achieving distortion- and artifact-free audio. This is why we implemented dual-resolution JetPLLTM jitter elimination technology. An FPGA-controlled oscillator operates at 100MHz, twice as fast and more precise than traditional JetPLLTM clocks.
This eliminates any jitter and benefits from better sound separation for high-fidelity capture and playback.
