<h3>Hear what you’ve been missing</h3>
	A sonic improvement over its audio interface predecessors, HD I/O features premium A/D and D/A conversion, so you can achieve higher audio fidelity, extensive dynamic range, super-low jitter, and the absolute lowest possible latency in your sessions. With certain configurations, you also get built-in sample rate conversion and a soft clip feature for worry-free recording. And using Curv, a new built-in soft-knee limiter that catches even the fastest transients, you can track hotter signals and smooth out inconsistent levels from incoming sources.
<br /><br />
<h3>Comprehensive connectivity</h3>
	So you can choose the interface that best suits your connection needs, Avid HD I/O comes in three configurations:  <a href="https://www.rspeaudio.com/Avid-Pro-Tools-HD-IO-16x16-Digital-p/avid-hd-io-16x16-digital.htm"><b>16x16 Digital</b></a>, <a href="https://www.rspeaudio.com/Avid-HD-IO-8x8x8-p/avid-hd-io-8x8x8.htm"><b>8x8x8 Analog/Digital</b></a>, and <a href="https://www.rspeaudio.com/Avid-HD-IO-16x16-Analog-p/avid-hd-io-16x16-analog.htm"><b>16x16 Analog</b></a>. All HD I/O interfaces come with two channels of AES3 digital I/O on XLR, eight channels of ADAT I/O with S/Mux II & IV support) 2-channel S/PDIF on RCA connectors, word clock I/O, Loop Sync I/O and a mini expansion port add other HD I/O systems.  What's more, you can expand your analog or digital I/O by simply installing an HD I/O option card into the 8x8x8 HD I/O’s empty bay—that’s right, all that connectivity and still there’s room for more.

<b>
High-quality analog I/O:
</b>
<ul>
	<li>8 analog inputs (using DB25)</li>
	<li>
	8 analog outputs (using DB25)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>
Versatile digital I/O:
</b>
<ul>
	<li>8 channels of AES/EBU I/O (supports 192 kHz single-wire and dual-wire)</li>
	<li>8 channels of TDIF I/O
8 channels of ADAT I/O (supports S/MUX II and IV)
Additional digital I/O:
2 channels of AES/EBU I/O (supports 192 kHz singlewire)
2 channels of S/PDIF I/cO 
	</li>
	<li>8 channels of ADAT I/O (supports S/MUX II and IV)
One empty bay for I/O expansion 
	</li>
</ul><br />
<h3>The ultimate in interface flexibility </h3>
	HD I/O option cards add more analog inputs, analog outputs, or digital I/O. As your needs grow or change, you can easily add more analog inputs, analog outputs, or digital I/O by installing an option card. You can install one option card in HD I/O 8x8x8 and up to two in HD I/O 16x16 Digital. While HD I/O 16x16 Analog comes with the maximum four cards, you can customize your I/O by swapping out any card. 
<br /><br />
<ul>
	<li>HD I/O AD Option: Adds 8 high-fidelity analog inputs (using DB25)</li>
	<li>
	HD I/O DA Option: Adds 8 high-fidelity analog outputs (using DB25)</li>
	<li>
	HD I/O Digital Option: Adds 8 channels each of AES/EBU (supports 192 kHz single-wire and dualwire), TDIF, and ADAT I/O (supports S/MUX II and IV)
	</li>
</ul>
