iZotope RX 5 Connect

iZotope RX 5 Connect is an AAX plugin that runs only inside Avid Pro Tools, not as a standalone application. To update it to a native Apple Silicon build, you must update both Pro Tools and the RX plugin through the correct channels. First, ensure you are running Pro Tools 2023.6 or later — that is the minimum version with native Apple Silicon support. If your Pro Tools is older, update it via Avid Application Manager (your standard Pro Tools update channel). Once Pro Tools is on a current native build, open the iZotope Product Portal or use iZotope's installer to update RX 5 Connect itself — iZotope has shipped native Apple Silicon builds of RX since version 9, so updating the plugin will give you the native AAX version. Be aware that very old versions of RX may not be fully compatible with the latest Pro Tools native builds, so checking the RX release notes for macOS 13+ and Apple Silicon compatibility is worth doing before updating. Given the September 2028 deadline when Apple removes Rosetta 2 from macOS 28, action on both the host and plugin now ensures your setup will continue working on that release and beyond.
