Grace Design m908 AD16 Digilink is a multi-channel monitor controller with 16-channel A/D conversion and a Digilink module, supporting formats from stereo to Dolby Atmos and Sony 360RA, up to 22.2. The Digilink card configuration integrates the system directly into the Avid Pro Tools|HD, HDX and HD Native environment, giving the engineer reference multi-channel monitoring with full connectivity in the Pro Tools ecosystem.
Reference immersive monitoring in the Pro Tools ecosystem
An engineer working in Pro Tools|HD needs a multi-channel monitor controller integrated directly into the system without extra converters and cabling. The m908 AD16 Digilink delivers reference A/D and D/A conversion with a fourth-generation s-Lock PLL, 12 bands of parametric room correction EQ across each of 24 channels — 288 bands in total in 64-bit fixed-point filters — and full support for Dolby Atmos and formats up to 22.2. Integration with Sonarworks SoundID Reference lets you import speaker correction directly into the m908 without running background software.
Digilink and 16 analog inputs in one system
The AD16 Digilink configuration combines two 8-channel ADC modules with a Digilink card providing 32 channels of I/O to Avid Pro Tools|HD Accel, HDX and HD Native systems. Pro Tools controls the sample rate of connected interfaces, simplifying clock management in large sessions. Standard digital inputs cover 68 channels via AES3, ADAT, USB, S/PDIF and TOSLINK, and a 16-channel balanced analog output plus 24-channel AES3 Out ensure full integration with existing studio infrastructure. The m908 web interface, RCU remote with talkback, SPL meter and up to 8 CUE paths round out session control.
