I just saw that!

I wanted to see what the price was going to be so I hit the pre order link. Nothing. I went to Sweetwater to get pricing but they don't even list it yet.

Very curious about it. No DSP though?

Msrp $2999

Looks like no DSP, but can be integrated into an existing system either via ADAT or AVB, or be used as a standalone interface (again via ADAT or AVB). Nice! I wonder what the AVB latency between units is.

Re: NEW -> Pro Tools | Carbon Pre
 

I don't know what I'm missing, but it looks like it's not really an expansion, just a new take on AVID/Digi PRE? Still limited to 24 inputs with Carbon-based system just like a current Carbon. Am I missing something? Does it actually increase the Carbon I/O, or just replace some I/O with more pres?

Everything I see looks like it's the latter...

Re: NEW -> Pro Tools | Carbon Pre
 

I'd say that is street price since that's what Vintage King is listing it for.

Re: NEW -> Pro Tools | Carbon Pre
 

It can be used side-by-side with the Carbon on the same AVB network. So it expands that system.

Re: NEW -> Pro Tools | Carbon Pre
 

The way understood it was that if connect via Avb you add 8 channels of I/o and pres but keep the possibility of adding 16 channels of Adat on top of that. I could be wrong though.

Sold.

The Carbon Guide has the following table for AVB config:

• 28x56 (44.1–96 kHz)
• 56x56 (44.1–96 kHz)
• 56x84 (44.1–96 kHz)
• 28x42 (44.1-192 kHz)
• 28x56 / 14x14 (44.1-192 kHz)
• 42x56 / 14x14 (44.1-192 kHz)

So, how many can we chain to get 56 in and 84 out? Probably Carbon + 2 Pres ?
It's a shame they didn't add some more headphone outs but I guess once you get past 4, headphone distribution is probably needed anyway.
