Grace Design m701 base unit
Elegir opciones
Grace Design m701 Base Unit is a modular audio interface and A/D-D/A converter in a 2U chassis, comprising the platform itself without installed conversion or digital interface cards. The base unit contains standard onboard digital I/O, a WVGA control display, a built-in mixer and the GraceNet platform, giving a recording studio the starting point to build a precisely configured I/O architecture from 8 to 32 analog channels.
A no-compromise platform from the outset
Monolithic interfaces force you to buy channels and features the studio doesn't need at the start, or to replace the whole unit as requirements grow. The m701 Base Unit reverses that logic: the base unit contains all the shared platform elements — the power path, clock, mixer, GraceNet and standard I/O — and the user adds only the cards actually needed. Eight slots accept any combination of 8-channel ADC and DAC cards and 4-channel microphone preamp cards based on the m108 design, allowing configurations from 8 to 64 analog channels and enabling installation of up to 32 channels of Grace Design preamps in a single unit.
GraceNet and flexible digital I/O
Onboard standard I/O (8-channel AES3, 8-channel ADAT, 2-channel S/PDIF and word clock) is available immediately before any option card is installed. Two 32x32 digital slots accept Dante, Digilink, Ravenna/AES67/ST2110 or USB2 cards, and a third option slot expands I/O with an additional AES3 module, word clock distribution or future monitoring functions. A built-in 32x8 low-latency mixer supports up to 8 independent cue mixes via GraceNet from the musician's phone or tablet, without an additional computer to manage monitoring.
