AVID 9900-58834-40 Pro Tools HD Series Madi I/O Interface

Digital MADI Integration for Pro Tools HD Systems
The AVID Pro Tools | HD MADI interface is a professional-grade solution for connecting MADI-equipped gear—like digital mixers, routers, and broadcast systems—to your Pro Tools | HDX or HD Native environment. Designed to serve as a high-capacity bridge between Pro Tools and MADI-based workflows, this interface delivers 64 channels of digital audio I/O over a single cable. Whether you're handling live recording, studio tracking, or system routing, the HD MADI streamlines your digital signal flow with exceptional stability and ultra-low latency performance.

Seamless Compatibility with Optical and Coaxial MADI
With support for both optical and coaxial MADI formats, the Pro Tools | HD MADI interface gives engineers maximum flexibility in studio or live sound scenarios. Optical SC and coaxial BNC connectors ensure that no matter how your MADI-equipped gear is configured, integration into a Pro Tools system is plug-and-play. It’s a practical choice for anyone needing direct MADI routing within a high-end DAW system.

Support for 64 Channels of I/O at 24-Bit/48kHz
Each Pro Tools | HD MADI unit provides 64 channels of simultaneous input and output at 48 kHz. Even at 96 kHz, the system handles 32 channels of bi-directional MADI audio. With ultra-precise clocking and industry-standard word clock I/O, it easily synchronizes with other devices in your digital studio. From large-scale scoring stages to remote trucks, this interface meets the demand for high-channel-count workflows.

Easy Integration with Pro Tools | HD Hardware
The HD MADI interface connects to Pro Tools | HDX or HD Native via DigiLink Mini connectors, making setup fast and simple. Once integrated, it appears in Pro Tools as an available I/O option, fully controllable within the DAW’s I/O setup window. Whether you're building a large-scale system or adding to an existing rig, the HD MADI makes it easy to expand.

Broadcast and Post-Friendly Routing
For post-production and broadcast engineers, MADI has become a reliable backbone for routing multi-channel audio. With support for asynchronous sample rate conversion (SRC) on its inputs, the HD MADI ensures compatibility across mismatched clocks or sample rates, making it easier to integrate signals from external consoles or systems without introducing clicks or sync issues.

Flexible Sample Rate and Clocking Options
You can run sessions at sample rates ranging from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz with scalable channel capacity, depending on the rate. Word Clock I/O and built-in SRC options help the unit fit easily into complex, multi-source setups. The interface also supports redundancy workflows through dual MADI streams, ensuring uninterrupted audio in mission-critical systems.

Professional Performance in a 1U Form Factor
All of this performance is packed into a slim 1U rackmount chassis, making it ideal for mobile recording rigs, OB vans, or tightly packed control rooms. It's rugged, reliable, and tuned for the needs of broadcast, live, and studio professionals alike.
