HD I/O
Premium, Customizable
Pro Tools HD Series Audio Interface
Hear What You’ve Been Missing
A sonic improvement over its audio interface predecessors, HD I/O features premium
A/D and D/A conversion, so you can achieve higher audio fidelity, extensive dynamic
range, super-low jitter, and the absolute lowest possible latency in your sessions. With
certain configurations, you also get built-in sample rate conversion and a soft clip feature
for worry-free performance. And using Curv, a new built-in soft-knee limiter that catches
even the fastest transients, you can track hotter signals and smooth out inconsistent
levels from incoming sources.
The Connections You Need—Now and Later
HD I/O comes in three configurations, so you can choose the interface that best suits
your connection needs. Whats more, you can expand your analog or digital I/O anytime
by simply installing an HD I/O option card into any empty bay (HD I/O 16x16 Analog
cannot be expanded, as all four bays are occupied).
