Exceptional sound

Whether recording or playing back – enjoy impeccable sound quality across your entire system. Thanks to high-quality audio conversion, stacked ADCs, double-resolution clocking and Avid’s most transparent amplifier design, you can capture every performance with the greatest depth, dimension and clarity. And with the help of variable Z-impedance switching, you can optimise or colour the sound of the mic/instrument inputs.

Fast workflow

To make your work easier, changes can not only be made via the user interface, but can also be remotely controlled, saved and retrieved directly in Pro Tools via any user interface connected to Pro Tools Carbon. This includes, for example, phantom power, gain and impedance switching.

Furthermore, the virtual assistant enables instant session recall, allowing you to switch quickly between sessions without having to reconfigure settings manually.
