Avid Pro Tools HD I/O 8x8x8

Get the absolute highest audio quality and unprecedented I/O flexibility with HD I/O, a high-performance Pro Tools® | HD Series audio interface that’s designed to completely integrate with Avid® Pro Tools | HD systems. While its sleek look resembles prior generation interfaces, HD I/O has been completely redesigned on the inside with high-quality electronics, giving you pristine A/D and D/A conversion, low latency, and maximum flexibility to integrate with a variety analog and digital gear.

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. What’s more, you can expand your analog or digital I/O anytime by simply installing an HD I/O option card into any empty bay
