Avid Debuts New Pro Tools MTRX II Audio Interface and Thunderbolt 3 Module

Avid announced its new all-in-one audio interface, Pro Tools MTRX II, and introduced a new Pro Tools MTRX Thunderbolt 3 Module to significantly improve the capabilities and efficiency of Pro Tools systems. For recording and post production facilities, the new interfaces add IO capacity, a larger routing matrix and more immersive monitoring capabilities. The addition of the new Thunderbolt 3 module finally updates Avid's audio interfaces, including the existing MTRX Studio, to the latest technology.

DAD just announced a new Thunderbolt 3 audio interface for studios, location recording setups or touring rigs. The new AX Center is a dedicated Thunderbolt modular audio interface with dual microphone and instrument inputs, dual headphones and monitors outputs, built-in PRO|MON monitor control with speaker EQ, and two slots for DAD expansion cards. It comes with 256 channels via Thunderbolt, 256 Dante I/O channels, up to 192 MADI I/O channels and 16 ADAT channels, as well as onboard summing and processing.

Sonus faber announced the continuation of its acclaimed Lumina loudspeaker collection with the addition of two models: The Lumina II and The Lumina V. The brand's intent was to offer a simple, balanced combination with the ability to satisfy both stereo and multichannel system listening. The introduction of Lumina II and Lumina V speaker also meets an even wider audience with the need for higher power for larger environments.

At the 141st Audio Engineering Society convention, Digital Audio Denmark (DAD) scored big with some key announcements of joint projects with Danish speaker powerhouse Dynaudio, and a very interesting new product development for Avid, with the preview of the new MTRX audio interface for Pro Tools. Two powerful alliances, given DAD’s expertise with audio networking and AD/DA conversion technologies.
