Avid introduces Pro Tools Carbon Pre

News by Avid presented at the recent AES show (153rd Audio Engineering Convention) in New York: Carbon Pre 8 channels mic preamp.

Sonically exceptional, Pro Tools Carbon Pre is an 8-channel preamp that provides the same transparent preamp design and stacked ADCs as Carbon, providing 32-bit conversion to capture every sonic detail.

With a Carbon Expanded system, you can tap into the Pro Tools Hybrid Engine for low-latency input processing with remote preamp control through Pro Tools or use Carbon Pre to expand or replace preamps in a Pro Tools HD system.

Each Pro Tools Carbon Pre provides eight mic/line preamps and eight line outputs, 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.

Get impeccable sound quality across your entire system, from capture to output. With superior audio conversion, stacked ADCs, double resolution clocking, and our most transparent preamp design ever (the same preamps as in Pro Tools | Carbon).

Optimize or color the tone of any mic or instrument input with Variable Z impedance switching.

No need to access your interface to make changes. You can remotely control, save, and recall all of your preamp settings, including phantom power, gain, and impedance switching, directly in Pro Tools across all Pro Tools Carbon connected interfaces.

With instant session recall, courtesy of the virtual assistant, you can quickly switch between sessions without any manual setup and reconfiguration delay.
