The new Pro Tools®|HD system offers professionals
a comprehensive and completely flexible solution
for music, post production, broadcast and multi-
media applications. At the helm of this new
Pro Tools system is 192 I/O™— a high-definition,
24-bit/192 kHz, multi-channel audio interface
specifically designed to embody the increased
fidelity and dynamic range of the Pro Tools|HD
environment.
192 I/O is, simply put, the best sounding audio
interface ever offered by Digidesign,® rivaling
interfaces costing more than twice its price.
In addition to support for up to 16 channels
of analog and digital input and output,
192 I/O features a wide range of analog
and digital I/O options to choose from,
including 8 channels of high-definition,
pristine quality analog I/O, 8 channels
of AES/EBU, eight channels of TDIF, 16
chan
nels of ADAT and 2 additional channels
of
AES/EBU or S/PDIF digital I/O.
Along with its outstanding sonic specs,
192 I/O features the most flexible
architecture ever offered in a Digidesign
audio interface. The 192 I/O’s expansion
bay allows you to expand I/O options with
one of three available expansion cards.
Whether you want more analog inputs or
outputs, or more digital I/O, 192 I/O is
flexible enough to be custom tailored
according to your needs.

In designing the Pro Tools|HD environment,
we didn’t just stop at supporting up to
96 kHz sample rates — we decided to go
all the way and support up to an astonishing
192 kHz. As the flagship audio interface for
Pro Tools|HD, 192 I/O supports 192, 176.4,
96, 88.2, 48, and 44.1 kHz sample rates.
With 192 I/O, it’s not only easier than ever to
work with the latest standards in the world of
professional audio production — you’re also
well equipped for the emergence of future
standards. The new, higher sample rates and
24-bit resolution you get with 192 I/O mean
you’re able to capture every nuance of sound
with the utmost clarity and precision.

There are good reasons why 192 I/O is the flagship
audio interface for the Pro Tools|HD environment.
The fact is, there are few audio interfaces on the
market that can compete with 192 I/O. With dynamic
range at –120 dB (A-weighted), 192 I/O’s sonic
performance measures up to the highest quality audio
interfaces available — at less than half the price.
192 I/O also features a built-in Soft-Clip Limiter
circuit, which begins limiting the audio signal once
it reaches –4 dBFS. Designed to prevent momen-
tary overloads, the Soft-Clip Limiter may also be
used to achieve an analog tape saturation effect.

The diversity of I/O options that come standard
with 192 I/O is nothing short of amazing. With
eight channels of AES/EBU, TDIF, and ADAT
digital I/O on a single digital card, 192 I/O
allows Pro Tools to easily integrate with any digital
device in the studio. Don’t forget that 192 I/O also
includes an additional 8 channels of ADAT I/O as
well as 2 more channels of AES/EBU and S/PDIF
digital I/O on the main enclosure of the interface
itself, increasing your digital I/O options far beyond
those of any audio interface on the market. Word
Clock I/O is also featured on the rear of the unit
to keep your interfaces in tight synchronization
with one another.
What’s more, the digital inputs on the Digital I/O
card can utilize the on-board sample-rate converter
chips for hardware-based sample-rate conversion,
allowing you to stream digital signals — at any
sample rate — into your Pro Tools session. For
example, one can stream audio from a TDIF-
compatible device operating at 48 kHz sample rate
right into a 192 kHz Pro Tools session in real-time
for further live mixing or processing.
