Grace Design m108 DigiLink option
Elegir opciones
Grace Design m108 DigiLink Option is an option module (A108DL) installed in the m108 slot, adding DigiLink connectivity to the Grace Design m108 eight-channel preamp with A/D conversion. The card integrates the m108 directly with Avid Pro Tools|HD Accel, HDX and HD Native systems, emulating the HD I/O interface and bringing the transparent, transformerless preamp path straight into the Pro Tools environment without additional converters or cabling.
Direct integration with Pro Tools HD
An engineer working on a Pro Tools|HD rig normally has to pass the signal from an external preamp through a separate Avid interface, adding a conversion stage and complicating the routing. The A108DL module eliminates that step: the m108 is seen by the system as an HD I/O interface and delivers eight channels of A/D conversion directly into the Pro Tools session. Sample rate is controlled from within Pro Tools, simplifying clock management and synchronisation in complex multi-interface configurations.
Cascading two m108 units into one HD I/O interface
A session requiring a full HD input and output configuration needs more than eight channels. The A108DL module has two Mini-DigiLink connectors — Primary Port and Expansion Port — working identically to those on an Avid HD I/O interface. Two m108 units with the A108DL card installed can be linked into one HD I/O, emulating the standard configuration of an ADC card, DAC card and Digital I/O card. In the chain the first m108 must have an odd ID number, and a common word clock synchronises all interfaces. Requires m108 firmware version 1.07 or higher.
