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. Pocketable. Powerful. Gigabit Ethernet to Go! The Sonnet Thunderbolt AVB Adapter measures just 1.5 inches wide by 3.9 inches deep by 0.8 inches tall, small enough to tuck out of sight or fit easily into a pocket in your backpack or equipment bag. Thunderbolt Interface for Low Latency Featuring a 40Gbps Thunderbolt interface, the Sonnet Thunderbolt AVB Adapter supports the low-latency, fully synchronized streaming of audio and video over Ethernet required for Avid Pro Tools | Carbon and AVB support. Bus-Powered & Energy Efficient Operating off its Thunderbolt connection, Sonnet’s Thunderbolt AVB Adapter is bus-powered, so there’s no need to plug in a power supply or power cable. AVB-Compliant Ethernet Adapter Connect to Other Devices On a Network Beyond its support for the Pro Tools | Carbon interface, the Sonnet Thunderbolt AVB Adapter enables you to add your Mac as an endpoint in an AVB network and connect to other devices such as audio interfaces, mixers, plug-in processors, personal monitor stations, stage boxes, speakers, speaker processors, and others. Audio Video Bridging support makes the adapter perfect for use in pro audio and video applications where synchronization of data streams is critical. AVB Time Synchronization Packets of AVB data are sent regularly in allocated slots within the reserved bandwidth, ensuring AVB packets maintain time synchronization. Thunderbolt Cable and ThunderLok Included Includes 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. Simple Setup Drivers and Configuration App Built Into macOS The basic drivers that support the Sonnet Thunderbolt Adapter are included in macOS. Basic configuration takes place in Network control panel, while configuration for use in AVB applications is handled in the Audio MIDI Setup application and control software.

Needed something to work with my MacBook and Protools. Integrates perfectly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thunderbolt a AVB *by C***F on March 25, 2025* Justo lo que necesitaba, habilita el puerto Thunderbolt a AVB, fabuloso!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for high-definition digital audio over the network *by R***O on March 10, 2023* I have the Metric Halo Labs brand of MobileIO audio interfaces, and often need to connect them to my laptop for location recording. Older laptops had connectors to directly connect the cables, but modern laptops only have Thunderbolt. Unfortunately, most other network adapters do not handle audio at full speed, thus these AVB adapters are the perfect solution. ## Frequently Bought Together - SoNNeT Thunderbolt AVB Adapter for Macs - Anker USB C Hub, 5-in-1 USBC to HDMI Splitter with 4K Display, 1 x Powered USB-C 5Gbps & 2×Powered USB-A 3.0 5Gbps Data Ports for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Dell and More - ILok iLok 3-3rd Generation Authorisation Key USB Dongle - USB-C Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/457744438-thunderbolt-avb-adapter-for-macs](https://www.desertcart.is/products/457744438-thunderbolt-avb-adapter-for-macs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
