Avid supports new standards and provides flexibility with Pro Tools HD Native Thunderbolt interface

Pro Tools HD Native Thunderbolt provides the lowest latency and highest sound quality of any host audio station for Thunderbolt-enabled CPUs.

Avid At IBC 2012, Pro Tools has debuted the new Pro Tools HD Native Thunderbolt interface, which provides the lowest latency and highest sound quality of any host audio station for Thunderbolt-enabled CPUs. The Pro Tools HD Native Thunderbolt interface brings the standard tools of Pro Tools HD and the premium interfaces of the Pro Tools HD series to a broader group of customers at a great price: those using a laptop or other device with a Thunderbolt connection.

With its superior Thunderbolt connectivity, the Pro Tools HD Native Thunderbolt interface brings producers, engineers and mixers the incredible sound quality, low latency and pure power of the award-winning Pro Tools HD Native system in a portable hardware system, connecting to Pro Tools HD series interfaces (such as HD OMNI and HD I/O) to capture and monitor audio with stunning clarity. Additionally, customers can comfortably monitor mixes using the interface's built-in professional-grade headphone output, which is powerful enough to counteract the high impedance of certain headphones.

Pro Tools HD Native will allow you to harness the power of your desktop or laptop computer with the Thunderbolt interface or PCIe card, achieve the highest performance and lowest latency of a native digital audio station, achieve crystal clear audio clarity with the Pro Tools HD series interfaces and monitor every detail of the mix with the integrated professional-grade headphone output.
