44.1/48 - 25 inputs
8 analog
16 ADAT
1 talkback
88.2/96 - 17 inputs
8 analog
8 ADAT
1 talkback
176.4/192 - 13 inputs
8 analog
4 ADAT
1 talkback
Also, the mic and line inputs are shared because they're the same circuit (8 analog inputs total). We didn't add another 8 line inputs (for 16 total) primarily due to increased cost and heat.
Hope that helps.

Which seems to be pretty typical, however the Pro Tools Carbon Data Sheet on the Avid website states:
"Digital inputs ADAT: 16 channels @ 44.1–96 kHz
ADAT: 8 channels @ 176.4–192 kHz"
While the Pro Tools Carbon Manual states:
ADAT I/O
• 16 channels at 44.1/48 kHz
• 8 channels at 88.2/96 kHz
• 4 channels at 176.4/192 kHz
I have also seen a couple of dealer demos that seemed to have quoted directly from the data sheet, apparently, stating up to 16 inputs @44.1-96kHz. Not a deal breaker, I just want to be sure of what I am about to purchase. Misleading or erroneous information can kill an otherwise exciting launch.
Thanks
