Eight pristine preamps, four headphone outputs, and 16 channels of ADAT I/O open up creative possibilities for miking, cue mixing, and expansion. With 25 x 34 simultaneous I/O, Carbon is ready to record any session-from solo-artists to full bands. And it’s twice as accurate, with extraordinarily low jitter, ensuring high-fidelity capture and playback. That’s why we designed a double-resolution implementation of the patented JetPLL jitter elimination technology that runs twice as fast as typical JetPLL-based clocks for better sound and separation. Precision clocking is crucial for distortionless, artifact-free audio. And with Variable Z built-in, you can adjust input impedance to optimize or alter the tone of any microphone or instrument-from dynamic and ribbon mics, to guitar and bass. Bypass any preamp to use your own outboard gear. With a padless design, incredible 126 dB dynamic range, and support for 32-bit/192 kHz audio conversion, Carbon features the most pristine preamps we’ve ever made. The result? You can capture clean, natural-sounding audio. From input, to the HDX DSPs, and into Pro Tools, the entire gain structure works at uniform 32-bit precision, providing more headroom without any signal degradation. We went the extra mile designing ours with four ADCs per channel, providing a remarkable 126 dB dynamic range. The best sound quality begins with exceptional audio converters. And it frees up your CPU cores for virtual instruments and more creative mixing. So, no matter how big your session gets, or how many plugins you use in it, you can always record with sub-1 ms latency monitoring. The FPGA routes audio blazingly fast-one sample at a time-with near-zero latency, while the HDX DSPs handle real-time plugin processing, performing at an amazing 22.4 billion operations per second. With a custom-designed FPGA and eight HDX DSPs at its core, Carbon is a powerhouse. That means you can disconnect Carbon and take your mix on the road or collaborate with others who don’t have the interface. And it’s designed to deliver the same impeccable sound quality in both native and HDX DSP domains. It’s the only plugin architecture with true hybrid capability. When it comes to shaping and enhancing sounds, the AAX plugin architecture lets you take your music further. 64-bit float double-precision processing. Bring the trackback to native mode for mixing, and Pro Tools automatically takes care of the technical tasks for you. Put a track in DSP Mode for recording, and Carbon accelerates real-time AAX DSP plugins, while your CPU plays back the rest of your mix. Because every AAX DSP plugin has a native counterpart, you can move seamlessly between worlds at the touch of a button. The front panel provides comprehensive metering and quick access to volume adjustments, as well as a Dim button for quick volume attenuation.With the Hybrid Engine under its hood, Carbon maximizes Pro Tools performance, letting you say goodbye to distracting third-party apps. AD/DA conversion is capped at 192kHz / 32-bit. Through a combination of fast Ethernet connectivity and 8 on-board HDX DSP units, AVID claims sub-millisecond latency monitoring and real-time processing of AAX DSP plug-ins. Note that it is possible to connect Carbon to a Thunderbolt 3 port as well, using an Ethernet-to-Thunderbolt adapter. This way, other DAWs can access the interface in place of Pro Tools.
