AVID 9935-73106-00 Pro Tools | Carbon Hybrid Audio Production System

Hybrid Audio Interface Built for Serious Music Production
The Avid Pro Tools | Carbon Hybrid Audio Production System is a cutting-edge audio interface designed to meet the demands of modern professional music producers and engineers. With tight integration into Pro Tools | Ultimate, Carbon offers low-latency tracking, HDX DSP acceleration, and native processing in one streamlined interface. This system empowers you to work faster with uncompromised sound quality, whether you're recording a full band or layering complex arrangements.

Hybrid Engine That Combines Native and DSP Processing
At the heart of Carbon is Avid’s hybrid engine, which intelligently switches between native and HDX DSP processing. This means you get the best of both worlds—real-time plugin performance with the stability of native mixing. Track through your favorite AAX DSP plugins with near-zero latency and then switch to native mode for mixing, giving you the flexibility to work without changing your workflow or compromising sound.

32-Bit Conversion and Clocking for Studio-Grade Clarity
Carbon features top-tier AD/DA conversion with 32-bit precision and JetPLL ultra-low jitter clocking, ensuring crystal-clear recordings and mixes. The converter design provides pristine audio from input to output, delivering the full dynamic range of your microphones, instruments, and outboard gear. If you're after sonic transparency and depth, this interface delivers with authority.

Expandable I/O with Eight Premium Mic Preamps
Equipped with eight studio-grade mic preamps, Carbon covers your basic tracking needs out of the box. These preamps feature Variable Z impedance switching and pad options, providing headroom and tonal flexibility for different sources. Plus, with ADAT and AES/EBU support, you can expand your setup with additional gear to accommodate large sessions and multi-mic setups without limitations.

Designed for Deep Pro Tools Integration
Built by Avid, Carbon is tailor-made for seamless integration with Pro Tools | Ultimate. Session recall, plugin management, routing, and track arming are tightly interwoven into the Pro Tools interface. This tight coupling eliminates unnecessary setup time and makes Carbon a true extension of the DAW, resulting in a production workflow that's intuitive and consistent.

Built to Perform in Any Studio Environment
Whether you’re working in a home studio, commercial facility, or mobile recording rig, Carbon adapts easily. With AVB over Ethernet connectivity, the system minimizes cable clutter and streamlines signal flow. Its rugged 1U rackmount design and rock-solid software stability make it a professional choice for demanding environments.

AAX DSP Plugin Support with Included Pro Tools | Ultimate License
With a perpetual license for Pro Tools | Ultimate included, you’re equipped with the highest-tier DAW from day one. The system also includes a collection of AAX DSP-optimized plugins for mixing and mastering, all usable in DSP or native mode. The dual-path flexibility ensures that your sessions are powerful and portable, no matter where you work.
