* Audio tracks based on sample rates of 48/96/192 kHz, respectively. Installing additional cards will increase track counts to the maximum allowable.
** Latency calculated using a 96 kHz sample rate with a 64-sample buffer. Tests run using Pro Tools|HDX and Pro Tools|HD Native with HD I/O, and Pro Tools|HD Accel with 192 I/O.
