Description
Overview
The Avid Pro Tools MTRX 8 Line Pristine AD Card is a high-performance analog-to-digital expansion module designed to scale the input capabilities of your MTRX system. By adding eight channels of professional line-level analog inputs, this card allows engineers to expand their recording footprint while maintaining the sonic integrity and transparency required for high-end studio productions.
As part of the fully modular MTRX ecosystem, this card enables you to tailor your interface to your specific studio needs, whether you are building a massive 64-channel hybrid environment or a streamlined digital workstation. The “Pristine” circuitry ensures that your analog sources are converted to the digital domain with maximum clarity and minimal coloration.
Key Details
- Expanded Input Capacity: Adds 8 channels of high-fidelity line-level analog inputs to your MTRX chassis.
- Modular Flexibility: Designed for the MTRX modular architecture, allowing for a customized mix of AD, DA, and digital I/O.
- High-Density Scaling: Supports the MTRX goal of up to 64 total channels for Pro Tools | HD systems.
- Pristine Conversion: Engineered for professional-grade transparency to ensure accurate capture of source material.
Use Cases
- Large-Scale Tracking: Ideal for recording full drum kits or orchestral sections where multiple simultaneous line-level inputs are required.
- Outboard Gear Integration: Perfect for studios with extensive racks of hardware compressors, EQs, and preamps that need permanent, high-quality routing into Pro Tools.
- Hybrid Studio Workflows: Enables a seamless transition between analog summing/processing and digital editing by increasing the available analog return paths.
Installation
The 8 Line Pristine AD Card is designed for straightforward integration into the Pro Tools MTRX chassis. Installation involves inserting the card into one of the available modular slots on the rear of the unit. Once seated, the MTRX system recognizes the additional hardware, allowing you to configure the new inputs within your Pro Tools | HD I/O settings. Note: Ensure the MTRX unit is powered down before installing or removing any option cards to prevent hardware damage.
Compatibility
- Hardware Host: Specifically designed for use with the Avid Pro Tools MTRX chassis.
- System Integration: Optimized for Pro Tools | HD environments.
- Expansion Limits: The MTRX chassis supports up to eight total option cards; a maximum of six AD and/or DA cards can be installed to support up to 48 analog channels.
