Power and simplicity that drive your creative spark
Pro Tools audio interface Carbon features HDX DSP acceleration under the hood and deep Pro Tools integration. Carbon enables you to record, edit, and mix in a single application without bouncing between software. Create in the moment, free from technical hassles. And focus on the music you’re making—not what you’re making it with.
Audio Interface With No latency. Period. Seriously!
Carbon audio interface is cut from the same cloth as our flagship Pro Tools systems used in the world’s most acclaimed studios. Its custom-designed FPGA and eight HDX DSPs achieve remarkable sub-1 ms recording latency and free up your computer to run big, plugin-heavy sessions smoothly.
Fast, intuitive, and fully integrated
Move effortlessly between tracking and mixing—without messing with buffer settings. The magic is in the Hybrid Engine. Toggle any track into DSP mode, and the Hybrid Engine seamlessly moves your entire live signal path to use real-time AAX DSP plugins for recording. Toggle a track back, and it automatically switches to use the AAX Native versions of your plugins, giving you the freedom to adjust plugins as the track evolves.
Get the Ultimate toolset
Pro Tools | Carbon comes with a Pro Tools Ultimate Perpetual license, providing the complete advanced toolset, plus a massive collection of plugins, loops, and sounds. And with Carbon turbocharging the experience, you can act on inspiration the instant it strikes.
Super sonics
Superior audio conversion. Double resolution clocking. And our most transparent preamp design ever. All details have been meticulously considered, so that Carbon captures every nuance of your performance with the greatest depth, dimension, and clarity. All you have to do is push record.
Record with more depth and precision
Carbon captures 32-bit audio right at the converters and maintains a full 32-bit path from input to output for stunning sound quality and dynamic range. And with Variable Z built in, you can optimize or alter the tone of any microphone or instrument by simply adjusting input impedance.
The Future Is Ethernet - It's Here Now!
Carbon connects to your computer over Ethernet using a proprietary version of AVB to stream audio at 32-bit float precision—a first in the industry. This enables a consistently high headroom and the highest possible sound quality from input to output. And it primes Carbon for the future.
