With the Digidesign 003, the latest generation of Pro Tools LE interfaces has arrived! Building on the success of the hugely successful 002, the 003 takes all the built-in functionality of its predecessor and ups the ante with redesigned preamps and superior A/D conversion. The 003 preamps are the latest generation mic pre for Pro Tools LE interfaces, and use discrete, bi-polar, low-noise transistors coupled with a cleaner signal flow and improved pots. The 003 is also equipped with word clock I/O making it super-easy to sync Pro Tools LE with external digital devices. Also new to the 003 Rack is a pair of control room outputs in addition to the dedicated monitor outputs. The 003 revolutionized the home studio, and the 003 Rack continues that with additional "wow"-factor features.
