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 Pro Tools|HD systems. While its sleek look resembles its prior generation interfaces, HD
I/O has been completely redesigned on the inside with high-quality electronics, giving you pristine, best-in-
class A/D and
D/A conversion and the lowest possible
latency. Plus, with three configurations to choose from and a modular design, you can expand and customize the
interface for your connection needs.

Note: Please be aware that you'll need Pro Tools HD 8.1 or higher software to use this interface-a free update is available for download to all registered Pro Tools HD 8.x users.
Whether you work with music or
sound for picture, HD
I/O gives you professional-grade
audio quality, high performance conversion, and the flexibility to integrate with a variety
analog and
digital gear, so you can quickly adapt the
interface to meet whatever need comes your way.
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 recording. 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 by simply installing an HD
I/O option card into any empty bay (HD
I/O 16x16
Analog cannot be expanded, as all four bays are occupied).
The Ultimate in Interface Flexibility
As your needs grow or change, you can easily add more
analog inputs,
analog outputs, or
digital I/O by installing an option card. You can install one option card in
HD I/O 8x8x8 and up to two in
HD I/O 16x16 Digital. While HD
I/O 16x16
Analog comes with the maximum four cards, you can customize your
I/O by swapping out any card.
HD I/O AD Option: Adds 8 high-fidelity
analog inputs (using DB25)
HD I/O DA Option: Adds 8 high-fidelity
analog outputs (using DB25)
HD I/O Digital Option: Adds 8 channels each of
AES/EBU (supports 192
kHz single-wire and dual-wire),
TDIF, and
ADAT (supports S/MUX II and IV)

Work with Pro Tools and More
HD
I/O and all other Pro Tools HD Series interfaces completely integrate with Pro Tools|HD, so you get maximum performance, dependability, and control of your inputs, outputs, and routing right from your Pro Tools software
interface. You'll also get higher production quality and greater workflow flexibility than with previous Pro Tools interfaces. And if you want to use your
interface with Pro Tools|HD and other
DAW software, you can do that too, as all Pro Tools|HD systems support Core
Audio and
ASIO drivers.
