Pro Tools | Carbon – professional hybrid audio interface with HDX DSP and ultra-low latency

Pro Tools | Carbon is a state-of-the-art audio interface offering exceptional sound quality, HDX DSP acceleration, and deep integration with Pro Tools. Designed for creators who demand zero-latency recording and professional workflow, Carbon combines real-time DSP power with your computer’s native performance so you can focus entirely on your music.

Hybrid power with HDX DSP

Featuring eight integrated HDX DSP processors and a custom FPGA engine, Carbon delivers sub-1 ms recording latency – matching the performance of Avid’s flagship Pro Tools | HDX systems. Switch seamlessly between recording and mixing without changing buffer settings thanks to the Hybrid Engine, which automatically moves tracks between DSP and Native processing as you work.

Engineered for precision

With pristine 32-bit/192 kHz conversion and double-resolution JetPLL™ clocking for ultra-low jitter, Carbon captures every nuance of your performance. The eight transparent mic preamps with Variable Z allow you to tailor input impedance to perfectly match any microphone or instrument. Housed in a rugged 1U rack chassis, it’s ready for studio or mobile use.
