    Avid Pro Tools Carbon Audio Interface
    Avid Pro Tools Carbon Audio Interface

    Built to capture the brilliance of your epic performance! Pro Tools Carbon™ is a new breed of audio interface for artists, bands, and producers. It’s a hybrid audio production system that features incredible sound quality and combines the power of your native CPU with onboard HDX DSP acceleration. So you can push your computer to the limit when you mix and record through AAX DSP plugins with near-zero latency monitoring. All at the touch of a button. All in Pro Tools®.

     

    Avid Pro Tools Carbon Audio Interface Includes:

      • Pro Tools Carbon audio interface > Pro Tools software
        • 1-year subscription with a Pro Tools perpetual parachute*
        • 115 AAX plugins (over 70 AAX DSP plugins), including UVI Falcon, the Avid Complete Plugin Bundle, and HEAT
        • 5.4 GB sound library

     

    Standard support Additional premium plugins included:

      • Arturia Rev PLATE-140
      • Brainworx bx_console N
      • Brainworx bx_rockrack
      • Brainworx bx_masterdesk
      • Brainworx Purple Audio MC77
      • Embody Immerse Virtual Studio
      • McDSP 6050 Ultimate Channel Strip HD
      • Native Instruments Vintage Organs
      • UVI Model D
    • Host connection Ethernet with ADAT and 25-pin D-SUB

    DSP and Native. The Best In Both Worlds.

    With the Hybrid Engine under its hood, Carbon maximizes Pro Tools performance, letting you say goodbye to distracting third-party apps. Because every AAX DSP plugin has a native counterpart, you can move seamlessly between worlds at the touch a button. Put a track in DSP Mode for recording, and Carbon accelerates real-time AAX DSP plugins, while your CPU plays back the rest of your mix. Bring the track back to native mode for mixing, and Pro Tools automatically takes care of the technical tasks for you.


    AAX. Architected To Go Beyond.

    Unmatched dynamic range. 64-bit float double precision processing. When it comes to shaping and enhancing sounds, the AAX plugin architecture lets you take your music further. It’s the only plugin architecture with true hybrid capability. And it’s designed to deliver the same impeccable sound quality in both native and HDX DSP domains. That means you can disconnect Carbon and take your mix on the road or collaborate with others who don’t have the interface.


    HDX DSP Accleration. Made To Remove Barriers.

    With a custom-designed FPGA and eight HDX DSPs at its core, Carbon is a powerhouse. The FPGA routes audio blazingly fast—one sample at a time—with near-zero latency, while the HDX DSPs handle real-time plugin processing, performing at an amazing 22.4 billion operations per second. So, no matter how big your session gets, or how many plugins you use in it, you can always record with sub-1 ms latency monitoring. And it frees up your CPU cores for virtual instruments and more creative mixing. Super Sonics.


    Converters. Clean and True.

    The best sound quality begins with exceptional audio converters. We went the extra mile designing ours with four ADCs per channel, providing a remarkable 126 dB dynamic range. From input, to the HDX DSPs, and into Pro Tools, the entire gain structure works at uniform 32-bit precision, providing more headroom without any signal degradation. The result? You can capture clean, natural sounding audio. Every time you record.


    Mic Preamps. Musical and Transparent.

    With a padless design, incredible 126 dB dynamic range, and support for 32-bit/192 kHz audio conversion, Carbon features the most pristine preamps we’ve ever made. Capture performances without coloration. Bypass any preamp to use your own outboard gear. And with VariableZ built in, you can adjust input impedance to optimize or alter the tone of any microphone or instrument—from dynamic and ribbon mics, to guitar and bass.


    Clocking. Twice As Accurate.

    Precision clocking is crucial for distortionless, artifactfree audio. That’s why we designed a double resolution implementation of the patented JetPLL™ jitter elimination technology that runs twice as fast as typical JetPLL-based clocks for better sound and separation. And it’s twice as accurate, with extraordinarily low jitter, ensuring high-fidelity capture and playback. All the I/O you need
