marian DIGITAL AUDIO ELECTRONICS Clara A/D 32-Channel Analog and AES/EBU PCIe Sound Card (XLR I/O)

Designed for high-fidelity audio recording and playback, the marian DIGITAL AUDIO ELECTRONICS Clara A/D XLR is a professional-grade PCIe sound card that delivers pristine sound quality with 32 audio channels in a compact, two-slot PCIe width. It features eight balanced analog XLR I/O (16 channels) and four digital AES/EBU XLR I/O (16 channels), making it an ideal solution for studios and installations requiring high channel density and uncompromising audio performance.

Equipped with high-end 24-bit / 192 kHz converters, ultraprecise clock, and powerful Beast DSP mixer for latency-free mixing and EQ processing, the Clara A/D ensures top-tier sound quality and reliability. Its robust construction makes it a durable and futureproof investment for professional environments. The card comes with a 16-channel analog I/O breakout cable and a 16-channel AES/EBU breakout cable, both equipped with XLR connectors.

Highest Audio Quality for Analog and Digital Signals

• With 115 dBA SNR and a THD+N of less than 0.001% at -1 dBFS, the Clara A/D delivers premium audio quality.
• A hefty level of +15 dBu provides enough headroom at the inputs and sufficient signal at the outputs for any connected device.
• AD/DA is 24-bit and 192 kHz throughout with no restrictions on the number of channels.

Advanced DSP Mixing and Realtime Routing

The Beast DSP Mixer offers latency-free volume control and routing of all input signals, along with advanced mixing and playback capabilities: * Mix up to 64 signals across 8 buses. * Route playback signals from any DAW. * Record mix sums back into an application. * Use the per-channel 4-band parametric EQ for precise tonal shaping.

Superior Clocking and Synchronization

• With less than 1 ns jitter, the Clara A/D’s internal clock provides superior synchronization, often outperforming external studio clocks. This ensures ultralow jitter performance, making external clocking unnecessary in many setups.

Switchable Sample-Rate Converter (SRC)

• For seamless digital integration, software-switchable sample-rate converters (SRCs) allow any digital input signal to be used, regardless of sample rate or clock settings, ensuring effortless compatibility with any connected digital device.

Scalable Multicard Synchronization

• Multiple Clara sound cards installed in a single system can be synchronized via TDM SyncBus, appearing as a single unified ASIO device.
• This enables direct intercard audio signal exchange within the Beast Mixer, supporting up to 32 interconnected audio streams.

Reliable Multiclient Driver Suite

Marian’s continuously refined driver supports: * ASIO 2.2 and multichannel low-latency WDM audio / WASAPI. * Simultaneous access by multiple applications.
