The Avid Pro Tools Carbon Pre gives Carbon users a seamless way to expand their recording system with eight channels of premium remote-controlled mic preamps designed for serious studio tracking workflows.
Whether you are recording drums, building larger hybrid setups, capturing full bands, or simply needing more pristine analog inputs without sacrificing integration or workflow speed, Carbon Pre delivers transparent sound quality and tight system control that feels purpose-built for modern Pro Tools production environments. Designed specifically to integrate with Pro Tools Carbon over Ethernet, the Pro Tools Carbon Pre adds eight digitally controlled microphone preamps with up to 126 dB of dynamic range and flexible connectivity for microphones, line-level sources, and instruments. Every parameter - including gain, phantom power, impedance, and high-pass filtering - can be remotely controlled directly from Pro Tools, helping streamline session setup and recall while keeping your creative flow uninterrupted. For engineers building scalable tracking systems, Carbon Pre allows multiple units to be connected for expanded input counts while maintaining low-latency workflows and consistent sonic performance across the entire setup. From professional music production rooms to project studios needing cleaner expansion and tighter Pro Tools integration, Carbon Pre delivers high-end recording flexibility without unnecessary complexity.
