Grace Design m701 16x16 Digilink is a modular audio interface and A/D-D/A converter in a 2U chassis, offering 16 analog input channels, 16 analog output channels and a 32x32 Digilink interface for Avid Pro Tools|HD systems. The 16x16 Digilink configuration gives a professional recording studio reference-grade conversion integrated directly into Pro Tools, with the option to expand to 32 analog channels later without replacing the platform.
Reference 16-channel I/O in the Pro Tools ecosystem
An engineer expecting reference quality at the input and output of a Pro Tools|HD system needs conversion with a well-designed analog path, stable power and precise clocking. The m701 16x16 Digilink delivers 16 channels of A/D and 16 channels of D/A conversion with THD+N of 0.0002% and 0.00055% respectively, with a 32x32 Digilink card supporting Pro Tools|HD Accel, HDX and HD Native. In Sound On Sound testing the m701 outperformed the Prism Sound Dream ADA-128 by over 2 dB in both measurements, and Pro Tools controls the interface sample rate, eliminating manual clock synchronisation.
Modularity and GraceNet in the studio environment
Four free ADC and DAC card slots allow expansion to 32 analog channels without replacing the platform. A third option slot accepts a 24-channel AES3 module, word clock distribution or future monitoring functions. A built-in 32x8 low-latency mixer supports up to 8 independent cue mixes for musicians via GraceNet from a phone or tablet. GraceNet runs in any browser without drivers and integrates control of up to 12 m108 preamps over Dante. Onboard I/O (8-channel AES3, 8-channel ADAT, 2-channel S/PDIF) rounds out routing flexibility.
