From Our Research Team:

A Premium Interface for Your Pro Tools|HD Rig!

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.

Avid HD I/O 8 x 8 x 8 Pro Tools|HD Audio Interface Features at a Glance:
  • High-performance AD/DA converters
  • Redesigned analog section with state-of-the-art filtering and design
  • Power supply improves noise performance and jitter
  • Lower latency
  • Updated digital card
  • 192kHz AES/EBU and S/PDIF single-wire
  • ADAT S/MUX II and S/MUX IV (enclosure and expansion card)
  • "Curv" analog limiting circuitry on input
  • 8 analog inputs (using DB-25)
  • 8 analog outputs (using DB-25)
  • 8 channels of AES/EBU I/O (supports 192kHz single-wire and dual-wire)
  • 8 channels of TDIF I/O
  • 8 channels of ADAT I/O (supports S/MUX II and IV)

Amazing

Music Background: Studio Owner
Although I was not overly impressed with the quality from the Digi 192, I decided to forgo the third party I/O option and "buy in" to the Avid hype that this was a completely redesigned next-generatio... read more [+]n interface and not simply a re-branded 192 and I'm glad that I did. Although I've not A/Bed this unit with the new Apogee Symphony and upper end gear like Meitner, etc, I can say it's EXTREMELY quiet, very transparent, and a huge step up from their previous generation interfaces! close [-]
