Two Variable Z instrument inputs, 8 x 8 line I/O, ADAT I/O, and Word Clock I/O provide even more connection versatility.

With superior audio conversion, stacked ADCs, double resolution clocking, and our 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. Even optimize or color the tone of any mic or instrument input with Variable Z impedance switching.

Speed up your workflow
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. And with instant session recall, courtesy of the virtual assistant, you can quickly switch between sessions without any manual setup and reconfiguration delay.

Extend your workflow capabilities
With up to 24 mic/line inputs available in a Carbon Expanded system, you can capture live performances easily in pristine sound quality, making it an ideal companion for your next gig.
