This architecture enables it to handle intensive workloads while maintaining high responsiveness during music production, mixing, mastering and audio/video post-production.

The professional motherboard with Intel Z890 chipset, compatible and certified for professional audio and video applications, ensures reliability and stable performance even in the longest sessions.

ASIO optimization and certified system for audio applications.

Like all Project Lead workstations, the PROJECT 2026 Intel PC is configured with Windows 11 Professional 64-bit OPTIMIZED by Project Lead, certified for professional audio/video applications and optimized to deliver a 100% rock stable system.

With custom high performance BIOS and optimization for ASIO driver-based software, the system provides low latency, operational stability and consistent performance even during complex work sessions with numerous plugins and audio tracks.

Ultra-fast NVMe storage and expandable memory

The system integrates a dedicated 2 TB NVMe M.2 Gen4x4 drive with transfer performance up to about 7000 MB/s, dramatically reducing the time it takes to install and load software, libraries and projects.

The workstation also includes 32 GB of high-performance, low-latency DDR5 RAM, guaranteed for life by the manufacturer and upgradeable up to 256 GB, enabling it to tackle increasingly complex projects over time.

Advanced quietness with soundproof tower case

Intel's PC PROJECT 2026 uses a new, fully soundproofed tower case with side panels lined with sound-insulating material designed to reduce operational noise, a key feature in recording environments.

The system features a Super Silent High Performance heatsink and can be optionally equipped with a double fan liquid cooling system to ensure optimal temperatures even under high workloads.

Professional connectivity and extensive expandability

The workstation offers a full complement of connections and expansion slots, including 4 PCI-e slots also suitable for installing Pro Tools HDX cards, as well as numerous USB ports and the presence of Thunderbolt 4, ideal for professional audio interfaces, high-speed storage and advanced peripherals.
