Achieving Maximum Voice Counts

Compatible 64-bit expansion chassis will provide maximum voice count for most stereo sessions up to a

96 kHz sample rate, but will have a reduced voice count at 176.4 and 192 kHz sample rates.

Using a 64-bit expansion chassis with surround sessions will yield a reduced voice count at 44.1 and 48 kHz

sample rates.

For a complete and current list of supported configurations of computers, expansion chassis, and hard drives

for maximum voices with Pro Tools systems, visit our website (www.avid.com).
