Metric Halo 3d Card for ULN-2 — a digital upgrade for the ULN-2 interface already fitted with a 2d card, bringing in the 3d Core architecture with MHLink, EdgeBus, and USB-C.
Unlike the Legacy-unit version, this kit is for a ULN-2 that already has a 2d card installed, so the upgrade involves only replacing the base board, 3d module, clock board, and Audio Bridge board — with no separate ADAT board needed, which Legacy units require to reach full digital functionality.
The Familiar ULN-2 Preamp, a Modern Connection Protocol
Engineers who invested in a ULN-2 for its preamps and converters usually don't want to give up that sound just to gain a more current computer connection. The 3d Card solves this by replacing only the unit's digital and computer layer — the analog section stays unchanged, while the unit gains class-compliant USB-C and very low-latency MHLink over Gigabit Ethernet, opening access to the full 3d software suite.Digital Expansion Matched to Current Needs
Rather than locking in a fixed set of digital channels, the upgrade adds an MH EdgeBus slot that accepts any card from the Metric Halo lineup — SPDIF, AES, ADAT, or MADI — depending on the format the current studio setup requires. Installation is user-performed with no need to ship the unit for service, and the upgrade comes with a +DSP license offering over a hundred plug-ins running at zero latency directly on the hardware.KEY FEATURES
