![]() It has eight line inputs and outputs that could be used for hardware inserts for studio outboard equipment such as compressors or EQ and it offers 16 additional inputs (at 48kHz) using ADAT connectors to facilitate the connection to third party converters or mic pre-amps increasing the number of simultaneous inputs to a maximum of 24 – or 25 if you include the built-in talkback mic. It has eight mic pres to enable you to record multiple performers or mic up a drum kit, for example. In contrast with the connectivity required in a large studio environment Carbon is designed to meet the needs of a smaller studio or home production environment. There are numerous Dante peripherals on the market that enable a variety of workflows and having this connector on MTRX Studio is an important when it comes to integrating it into a modern production environment. Dante has become a standard digital audio interconnection protocol over the past few years in both live sound and studio production. Importantly, MTRX Studio has a Dante port for 64 channels of Dante I/O. It features 16 analogue line ins and outs and ADAT connectivity for adding ADAT-enabled converters and mic pres. MTRX Studio has two mic pre-amps, perfect for recording VO, ADR or Foley. The I/O complement of the two interfaces points to the differences in intended use. And it gives us flexibility for the future. It’s an Ethernet standard that offers dedicated bandwidth, low latency streaming with precision timing and a 32-bit floating path throughout the interface and into Pro Tools. AVB is a key technology choice for Carbon. That means it plugs directly into your Mac using a qualified AVB port, whether that’s using the onboard Ethernet port or a qualified Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter. MTRX Studio is compatible with both macOS and Windows operating systems.Ĭarbon is a Core Audio AVB device. DigiLink is Avid’s own audio connector that gives us complete control over the audio between the processing card and the interface. It does not connect directly to the host computer but instead is connected to either an HDX card or an HD Native Thunderbolt card using the DigiLink protocol. MTRX Studio is a DigiLink interface for HDX and HD Native systems. Pro Tools | Carbon ships with Pro Tools software and Pro Tools | MTRX comes with Pro Tools | Ultimate but also includes the DADman software to enable remote control of the monitoring. The price includes a license for Pro Tools. The MTRX Studio pricing includes an HDX card which is required to connect to your host computer, although you could choose to use the HD Native Thunderbolt card instead. A Pro Tools | HDX Thunderbolt 3 MTRX Studio bundle is $9999. The two products sit at very different price points and are designed to address different pro audio markets. The I/O complement reflects this goal, providing everything that you need to run a recording session without the need for any additional hardware. ![]() It features a completely configurable software controlled monitoring section that can accommodate any monitoring environment all the way to Dolby Atmos.Ĭarbon is specifically designed for music production-especially recording musicians and bands. It is designed for the audio professional who needs the ability to interface with other audio equipment in the studio, whether analogue or digital, in a variety of formats. MTRX Studio is a very capable and flexible audio interface. Carbon is purpose built for music production and recording and solves the problem of simple low-latency tracking in a native environment by making use of HDX DSPs that are incorporated into the interface and integrate seamlessly with the Pro Tools software. MTRX Studio is a DigiLink interface that requires HDX or HD Native and is suited to a variety of purposes, including music production, but really comes into its own in audio post environments that require surround and Atmos workflows. This article sets out to clarify those differences. ![]() They are both 1U units and they share a common front panel design but are two very different products. In 2020 Avid introduced two new audio interfaces: Pro Tools | MTRX Studio and Pro Tools | Carbon.
