Get to know them!

Avid Pro Tools | HDX is, by far, the most powerful, versatile, and professional DAW system to ever hit the recording world. You not only get powerful DSP-accelerated plug-in capabilities, but you also get the pro-level features of Pro Tools | Ultimate - features that aren't available to standard Pro Tools users. You get support for advanced S6 features, advanced editing functions, superior delay compensation, expanded video implementation, and unprecedented connectivity and expandability. Also, while Pro Tools lets you mix in stereo, with Ultimate you can mix in everything from mono to 7.1 surround sound. If you want what major recording studios and post-production houses use, step into Pro Tools | HDX.

Avid HDX DSP acceleration gives you massive processing power

At Sweetwater, we're still amazed at how powerful these cards are. Each Pro Tools | HDX Core PCIe card is like having about the equivalent of an HD3 or HD4 system on a single card. To put it mildly, that's a ton of DSP power for your DAW! What's more, there's a separate FPGA processor for your mix bus, so all of your HDX card's DSP power is dedicated to running plug-ins. Each HDX card gives you 256 voices, a full four times the routing capacity of an Accel card. That means you can freely use Avid's AAX plug-ins, without worrying about running out of voices.

Avid Pro Tools | HDX Core PCIe Card Features at a Glance:
  • Incredible DSP power for Avid's AAX plug-in format
  • 3-7 times the power of an HD Accel system on a single PCIe card
  • FPGA mix processor frees up DSP for powering plug-ins
  • Up to 256 voiceable tracks per card
  • Up to 64 channels of simultaneous I/O per card
  • Connect up to 4 HD interfaces per card
  • 64-bit floating-point summing sounds amazing
  • 32-bit floating-point processing between plug-ins preserves quality and dramatically increases headroom
  • Expand your system by adding more HDX cards
  • Compatible with Pro Tools | Ultimate software
The Avid Pro Tools | HDX Core PCIe card delivers industry-standard performance.

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

If you do not, interest will be charged on the promo balance from the purchase date. The required minimum monthly payments may or may not pay off the promo balance before the end of the promo period, depending on purchase amount, promo length and payment allocation. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases and, after promo period ends, to the promo balance. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
