From Our Research Team:

A Premium Interface for Your Pro Tools|HD Rig!

Note: The HD Interface Exchange Program is a special trade-in opportunity for registered owners of legacy Pro Tools HD interfaces and eligible 3rd party Pro Tools|HD-compatible interfaces to upgrade to an Avid HD I/O 8x8x8 for a special reduced priced. This upgrade also includes Avid's HEAT for Pro Tools|HD DSP-accelerated systems (HEAT is not supported by Pro Tools|HD Native). For more information and specific details, please call your Sales Engineer.

The next generation of Pro Tools|HD is here! The HD I/O from Avid picks up where the 192 I/O left off, offering improved fidelity and lower latency than its predecessor. Avid also endowed the HD I/O with a slick soft-knee analog limiter. This dynamics processor, named Curv, catches fast transients, letting you track hotter. No amount of processing power can muscle past poor A/D conversion or clipping. The HD I/O manages both tasks for you, and it handles them beautifully. This version of the HD I/O is equipped with eight channels of analog I/O and eight channels of digital I/O.
