Avid Pro Tools | Carbon Pre
Avid Pro Tools | Carbon Pre Reviews
Avid Pro Tools | Carbon Pre offers high-performance expansion for your Carbon-based studio. This top-shelf AVB expander supplies 24 channels of simultaneous I/O with exceptional 32-bit/192kHz AD/DA conversion and double-precision clocking — exactly what you need for tackling large, multi-mic projects. Carbon Pre includes eight super-transparent mic preamps — the same ones as in Pro Tools | Carbon — with phantom power, as well as variable impedance on inputs 5–8. You also get hi-Z instrument inputs, line I/O, ADAT I/O, and word clock I/O for the utmost in connection flexibility. Carbon Pre can operate as a Pro Tools | Carbon extender or as a standalone preamp with other systems. You can also use up to nine Carbon Pre expanders to greatly scale up your existing Pro Tools | HDX or HD Native rig. EUCON compatibility ensures lock-tight integration with Avid control surfaces. Finally, Ethernet connectivity allows you to take control of Carbon Pre's preamps directly from Pro Tools and tap into Pro Tools | Carbon's Hybrid Engine for low-latency processing. Simply put, Pro Tools | Carbon Pre is the most seamless — and effective — way to grow your Pro Tools | Carbon system.
Carbon + Carbon Pre = Awesome!
The Carbon Pre is the perfect expansion to the Carbon interface. Connection between Carbon and Carbon Pre was easy, on a single ethernet cable goes all the audio, clock sync and also the remote control of the pre-amps. Hardware looks good but the sound and functionality is outstanding. In the future I will certainly get a second Carbon Pre to have a fully Carbon expanded system. Looks good, sounds amazing.
