Avid Pro Tools | Carbon Pre 8-Channel Mic Preamp
Pro Tools | Carbon Pre is an 8-channel preamp and converter that uses the same preamp design and stacked ADCs as Pro Tools | Carbon. Each unit has eight mic/line inputs with Variable Z on inputs 5 to 8, two instrument inputs, eight line inputs and eight line outputs, and converts at up to 32-bit, 192 kHz.
On a Carbon system it connects over AVB Ethernet; one Carbon takes up to two Carbon Pre units for 24 mic/line inputs and 24 line outputs, with gain, phantom power and impedance set and recalled from Pro Tools. It can also expand a Pro Tools | HD system or any interface through ADAT, with up to nine units in an HD system, or run standalone as an 8-channel preamp.
