Avid Pro Tools | Carbon Pre AVB Audio Interface

Expand the connectivity of your Pro Tools | Carbon system to 16 mic inputs and track bands with drums with the Avid Pro Tools | Carbon Pre, and AVB audio interface that delivers impeccable sound quality across your entire system, from capture to output. With superior 32-Bit / 192 kHz audio conversion, stacked ADCs, double-resolution clocking, and Avid's most transparent preamp design ever (the same preamps as in Pro Tools | Carbon) you can capture every sonic nuance of a performance with the greatest depth, dimension, and clarity. The interface also utilizes the Pro Tools Hybrid Engine for latency-free recording.

The Pro Tools | Carbon Pre provides eight mic / line / Hi-Z preamps and eight line outputs. You can network two Carbon Pres, enabling you to expand your Pro Tools | Carbon-based studio up to 24 mic/line inputs and 24 line outputs total. Two Variable-Z instrument inputs, 8 x 8 line I/O, ADAT I/O, and Word Clock I/O provide even more connection versatility. And because it's EUCON-enabled, the interface integrates with Avid control surfaces for seamless recording and mix control.
