The Sonnet Thunderbolt AVB Adapter
The Single-adapter Solution for Connecting to Pro Tools | Carbon
A Compact, Professional Bus-powered Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with AVB Support for Mac Computers with Thunderbolt Ports.
The Avid Pro Tools | Carbon audio interface for music production has been described as a creative game changer; its innovative use of eight onboard HDX processors and a custom FPGA enable you to track and monitor with near-zero latency when using AAX DSP plug-ins. Because Carbon connects to your Mac over Ethernet using a proprietary version of AVB (Audio Video Bridging, aka IEEE 802.1), you’ll have to use an AVB capable Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet adapter if your computer doesn’t have onboard Ethernet.
- Avid Qualified – Avid qualified single-adapter solution for connecting your Mac to the Avid Pro Tools | Carbon audio interface.
- AVB-Compliant – Enables you to make your Mac an endpoint in an AVB Ethernet network.
- 40Gbps Thunderbolt Interface – Supports extremely low latency required for AVB applications.

AVB Time SynchronizationPackets of AVB data are sent regularly in allocated slots within the reserved bandwidth, ensuring AVB packets maintain time synchronization. |
Thunderbolt Cable and ThunderLok IncludedIncludes a 0.5-meter 40Gbps Thunderbolt cable that is fully compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 computers. Sonnet also provides a ThunderLok 3 Thunderbolt connector retainer clip that prevents accidental cable disconnections. |
What is the Benefit of an AVB Network?An AVB network is extremely reliable since it is designed to reserve a portion of the available Ethernet network bandwidth for its own data. |
