Metric Halo 3d Card for 2882 — a digital upgrade for the 2882 interface already fitted with a 2d card, bringing in the 3d Core architecture with MHLink, EdgeBus, and USB-C, bundled with an AES/SPDIF EdgeCard.
Unlike the Legacy-unit version, this kit is for a 2882 that already has a 2d card installed — the upgrade path is simpler since part of the digital infrastructure is already present in the unit. The kit includes a base board, DSP module, back panel, timing card, USB Type-A to Type-C cable, and an AES/SPDIF EdgeCard, delivering ready-to-use digital I/O without needing to buy a separate expansion card.
Same Analog Section, New Digital Layer
2882 owners with a 2d card value the sound of the unit's converters and preamps but are limited by an older connection protocol and no access to newer routing software. The 3d Card replaces only the digital and computer path, leaving the original analog section unchanged — after the upgrade the unit gains USB-C, MHLink over Gigabit Ethernet, and an EdgeBus slot, without losing the tonal character that drove the purchase of a 2882 in the first place.Ready Digital I/O Without Extra Purchases
Digital upgrades from other manufacturers often require a separate expansion card purchase just to get any additional digital I/O at all. This kit includes an AES/SPDIF EdgeCard, so once installed the unit has 4 channels of AES/EBU input and output ready to go, with no need to order an EdgeBus card separately and wait for a second shipment.KEY FEATURES
