Next-gen Avid Expansion Converter for HDX and HD systems featuring 8 analog I/O and 8 digital I/O.

HD I/O is the next-generation flagship audio interface for Pro Tools|HD, delivering higher fidelity audio and lower latency performance than its predecessor, the 192 I/O. HD I/O offers 16 channels of I/O, and comes in one of three configurations to provide ultimate flexibility:

1. 8x8x8: 8 analog I/O and 8 digital I/O

2. 16 x 16 analog

3. 16 x 16 digital
HD I/O also comes with a newly designed high quality soft-knee analog limiter feature, Curv, which catches fast transients and allows for tracking hotter signals. HD I/O moves beyond the market competition by delivering best-in-class digital audio conversion and clocking that integrates into Pro Tools HD software and offering the most flexible I/O arrangement.
