Avid Pro Tools | HD Native Thunderbolt

High-speed Thunderbolt interface virtually eliminates latency, increases I/O and track count

Avid’s Pro Tools|HD Native Thunderbolt employs a lightning-fast Thunderbolt interface to eliminate annoying latency common on Native USB or FireWire systems—enabling musicians to focus solely on their performance rather than monitoring issues. Avid Pro Tools|HD Native Thunderbolt also provides higher track count and I/O (up to 256 tracks/64 channels), plus 64-bit floating-point processing for more headroom and greater mix resolution than other Native solutions. With Avid’s Tools|HD Native Thunderbolt audio interface, you get a native solution that rivals the audio quality of any professional audio system.

With its elegantly implemented connectivity, the Pro Tools|HD Native Thunderbolt interface gives producers, engineers, and mixers the incredible sound quality, low latency, and sheer power of award-winning Pro Tools|HD in a mobile solution. Instead of trying to transport a bulky tower with PCIe slots, Pro Tools|HD Native Thunderbolt lets you use your laptop (or iMac) to connect with Pro Tools HD Series interfaces (such as HD OMNI and HD I/O). In addition, you can conveniently monitor mixes using the interface’s built-in audiophile-grade headphone output, which is powerful enough to drive headphones with high impedance loads.
