Sonnet Thunderbolt AVB Adapter
Compact, Professional Bus-powered Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with AVB Support for Mac Computers with Thunderbolt Ports
The Single-adapter Solution for Connecting to Pro Tools | Carbon
The Avid® Pro Tools | Carbon audio interface is a revolutionary tool for music production. Its eight onboard HDX processors and custom FPGA technology allow for near-zero latency tracking and monitoring when using AAX DSP plug-ins. Carbon connects to your Mac® via Ethernet using a proprietary version of AVB (Audio Video Bridging, or IEEE 802.1). If your computer lacks built-in Ethernet, you’ll need an AVB-capable Thunderbolt™ Gigabit Ethernet adapter. The Avid Qualified Sonnet Thunderbolt AVB adapter serves as the ideal single-adapter solution to connect your supported Mac with Thunderbolt ports to the Carbon interface.
