Capture pristine, high-quality sound with Avid PRE.
 Featuring eight discrete, matched-transistor, hybrid mic preamp 
circuits, PRE provides a transparent signal path, and easily 
accommodates your mic, line, and direct instrument (DI) level inputs on 
all eight channels. Plus, you can place PRE anywhere in your studio, 
thanks to its remote-controllable operation, which you can access 
through Pro Tools HD software or an Avid control surface. And because 
PRE also functions as a standalone device, you can get the same sonic 
quality when working with any application and outboard sound module.
