Item was in a rack unit in a studio with light usage for post production audio mixing. In "like-new" condition.
The Pro Tools | Carbon is a flagship 25 x 34 audio interface combining pristine audio conversion with onboard HDX DSP acceleration. Designed for seamless integration with Pro Tools, it allows you to record with real-time AAX DSP plug-ins at near-zero latency (<1 ms) without burdening your computer’s CPU.
Hybrid DSP Power: Equipped with 8 HDX DSP chips and a custom FPGA to run heavy plug-in processing in real time. Effortlessly switch tracks between DSP acceleration (for tracking) and native CPU mode (for mixing).
Pristine 32-Bit / 192 kHz Conversion: Features 4 ADCs per channel, double-resolution JetPLL™ clocking, and an ultra-wide 126 dB dynamic range for maximum headroom and ultra-low jitter.
8 Transparent Preamps + Variable Z: 8 XLR-1/4" combo preamps with padless design. Inputs 5–8 and the two front-panel 1/4" Hi-Z instrument inputs feature Variable Z (adjustable impedance) to dial in optimal tone for mics and guitars.
Comprehensive Monitoring:
4 independent front-panel 1/4" headphone outs (individual cue mixes).
2 dedicated 1/4" main monitor outputs.
DB25 line/alt monitor output with front-panel A/B/C speaker switching, Dim, and level control.
Built-in talkback mic (footswitchable and routable).
High-Speed Ethernet (AVB) Connectivity: Connects directly to Mac Ethernet ports (or via qualified Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapters) for high-bandwidth, ultra-low latency audio transfer.
