Get pristine sound quality and clarity for your mostdemanding recording sessions. Pro Tools | HD I/O is a high-performance audiointerface designed for Pro Tools | HD systems that enables you to capture everydetail and nuance of a performance. Achieve the high fidelity, extensivedynamic range, and lowest possible latency you need for large-scale,high-profile projects. Plus, its modular design makes it easy to expand andcustomize the interface for your connection needs—now and in the future. Andwith its new lower price, getting great sound is now even easier too.
Watch your levels
With input and output metering conveniently displayed on thefront panel, you can easily see what's hot, what's not, and make the necessaryadjustments to achieve optimal levels.
Customize your I/O
Get all of the inputs and outputs you need to connect yourentire studio. Just choose the configuration that's right for you (HD I/O 8x8x8shown here).
Go digital
Connect yourself into any post-production environment bychoosing a configuration with digital I/O or adding the option. You'll have theAES/EBU, TDIF, and ADAT connections you need to integrate with a digital mixer,additional Pro Tools rigs, or other digital infrastructure.
Connect your entirestudio
All HD I/O configurations include a section of additionaldigital I/O that enables you to connect more gear and sync and expand yoursystem.
Hear what you've beenmissing
If you're familiar with our older “blue” Pro Tools | HDinterfaces, your ears are in for a major treat. Experience significantly betteraudio fidelity, wider dynamic range, and super-low jitter thanks tosophisticated A/D and D/A conversion. Capture and play back every audio detail.Retain the warmth and presence of your original sources. And get the lowestpossible latency when recording even the largest sessions.
Track with ease
Connect your digital gear hassle-free with sample rateconversion in HD I/O’s digital configurations. Maximize your analog inputsignals, without any harsh clipping, with the soft clip feature. Plus, you'llbe able to track hotter signals and smooth out inconsistent levels fromincoming sources.
Get I/O versatility
The rack-mountable 2U HD I/O comes in three configurations,so you can choose the interface that best suits your connection needs. Inaddition, you can expand your analog or digital I/O by simply installing an HDI/O option card into any empty bay (see all configurations and options below).
Gain full I/O control
Like all Pro Tools | HD Series interfaces, HD I/O tightlyintegrates into any Pro Tools | HDX or HD Native workflow. That integrationextends down into the software too, enabling you to gain complete control ofyour inputs, outputs, and routing right from the Pro Tools | Ultimate softwareinterface. No matter how hard you push it, you can expect maximum performanceand reliability every time.
HD I/O 16x16 Analog
Get the maximum complement of analog inputs and outputs withthe 16x16 Analog configuration—the ideal choice for music production. It offers16 channels of analog I/O, 2 channels of AES/EBU I/O, 2 channels of S/PDIF I/O,and 8 channels of ADAT (S/MUX) I/O. While all four I/O bays are occupied withthis option, you can swap out any of the analog cards with a different optioncard to customize.
HD I/O Option Cards
As your needs grow or change, it’s easy to add more analogor digital I/O—just install an option card. You have three to choose from. TheHD I/O AD Option adds 8 analog inputs. The HD I/O DA Option adds 8 analogoutputs. And the HD I/O Digital Option adds 8 I/O channels each of AES/EBU(with single- and dual-wire 192 kHz support), TDIF, and ADAT (supports S/MUX IIand IV).
