Exceptional sound

Whether you're recording or outputting, you'll enjoy impeccable sound quality throughout your system. High-quality audio conversion, stacked ADCs, dual-resolution clock, and Avid's most transparent amplifier design let you capture every performance with the greatest depth, dimension, and clarity. And variable Z-impedance switching lets you tweak or color the sound of mic/instrument inputs.

Fast workflow

For your convenience, changes can be made not only from the user interface, but can be remotely controlled, saved, and recalled directly in Pro Tools from any user interface connected to Pro Tools Carbon. This includes phantom power, gain and impedance switching.

In addition, the Virtual Assistant provides instant Session Recall, allowing you to quickly jump between sessions without having to manually reconfigure.
