Avid Unveils Further Innovation for Music Creation with Sonically Exceptional Pro Tools | Carbon Pre Audio Interface
20 October 2022 - 3:55AM
Today at the AES Show 2022 in New York City, Avid® (Nasdaq:
AVID) unveiled Pro Tools | Carbon Pre™ to empower individual
artists, bands and producers using Pro Tools | Carbon® or
third-party audio interfaces to easily expand their studio setups
to capture every sonic detail of large tracking sessions. Pro Tools
| Carbon Pre is a pristine multi-mic pre interface
that ensures the highest quality audio at 32-bit resolution to
maximize dynamic range from input to output across the entire audio
production workflow.
“The Pro Tools | Carbon system eliminates the barriers and
tedious tasks that detract from productivity and creativity to
enable artists and musicians to focus on capturing great
performances and mixes,” said Francois Quereuil, Vice President,
Product Management for Audio and Music Solutions, Avid. “Pro Tools
| Carbon Pre is a high-quality I/O expansion option for users who
need to record full bands. Pro Tools Carbon Pre delivers the
flexibility of additional mic/line inputs and outputs
to ensure brilliant sound quality on every track while
leveraging the system’s Hybrid Engine, with complete remote
control, and recall capabilities that are fully integrated with Pro
Tools.”
Matching the audio performance of Avid’s groundbreaking Pro
Tools | Carbon interface, Pro Tools | Carbon Pre enables users to
expand their system with 24 channels of world-class mic/line
preamps and line outputs. This allows users to capture large
tracking sessions and multi-mic live recordings delivering
impeccable sound quality from capture to output. In addition, Pro
Tools Carbon’s extremely low-noise mic preamps have variable
impedance, which lets users subtly change the tone of their mics,
so they can be confident of capturing every sonic detail in the
studio.
Existing Pro Tools | HD systems needing more mic preamps can
leverage Pro Tools | Carbon Pre as an eight-channel ADAT
preamp expansion unit to scale up I/O. Users can control up to nine
Pro Tools | Carbon Pre units in a Pro Tools | HD system, while also
tapping into the Pro Tools Hybrid Engine for low-latency input
processing.
To help capture impeccable sound quality across the entire
system, Pro Tools | Carbon Pre also uses stacked AD converters on
each input, while also providing industry-leading double-precision
clocking. Pro Tools | Carbon Pre allows artists to optimize and
color the tone of mic or instrument inputs with Variable Z
impedance switching, so users hear and feel every nuance in
their recordings.
Pro Tools | Carbon Pre accelerates audio workflows without the
need for users to access the interface to make changes. Artists can
remotely control, save, and recall all preamp settings—including
phantom power, gain, and impedance switching directly in Pro Tools
across all Pro Tools | Carbon-connected interfaces. And, with
instant session recall courtesy of the virtual assistant, users can
quickly switch between sessions without any delays from manual
setup and reconfiguration.
Raising the bar on audio interface
performanceThe Pro Tools | Carbon audio interface empowers
artists, bands, engineers, and producers to record every detail of
every performance with the utmost clarity and precision. Built to
capture brilliance, this hybrid audio production system features
incredible sound quality and intelligent Pro Tools integration that
combines the power of the user’s native CPU with the unparalleled
performance of HDX DSP acceleration.
Pricing and availability Pro Tools |
Carbon Pre will be available later this month through Avid
resellers, starting at $2,999 USD. For more information about Pro
