Grace Design m701 Audio Interface AD/DA
Product information "Grace Design m701 Audio Interface AD/DA"
The Grace Design m701 is a high channel count modular audio interface designed for professional and commercial recording facilities. As the first foray into complete interface design, the goal was to offer the highest quality AD/DA conversion integrated into a powerful, configurable platform. The modular design of the m701 allows for a wide range of configurations based on your needs. From simple in-the-box systems to large hybrid studios, the m701 is ideal.
Modern Conversion
Grace Design has been building AD/DA converters into their microphone preamps and monitoring products since the early 2000s. In that time, digital audio converter chips have reached a very sophisticated level. Today, it's hard to find a bad converter chip. But building a complete audio product around a converter still requires careful and expert audio design skills that Grace Design has been honing for decades. Analog input and output circuitry, power supply, and clock design are more important than ever, and are what separates a great-sounding I/O device from the rest. The m701 continues the legacy of open and musical-sounding audio hardware with a remarkably powerful studio I/O tool.
Enormous I/O capacity
Individual 8-channel ADC and DAC modules can be fitted in any combination into the 8 available card slots, allowing a wide range of I/O combinations depending on customer needs. Digital I/O options include: two 32-channel module slots for Digilink, Dante, USB2 (coming soon), Ravenna/AES67/ST2110 and other future formats. A third option module slot is provided for expanding the m701's digital I/O capabilities, such as an additional 24-channel AES3 I/O module, a Word Clock distribution module or future studio monitoring capabilities. The included baseboard digital I/O ports are 8-channel AES, 8-channel ADAT and 2-channel S/PDIF. Additionally, optional Grace Design high-quality 4-channel microphone preamp modules can be fitted into any of the 8 card slots.
GraceNet
The m701 is configured and operated either from the front panel or via the web-based GraceNet control software. GraceNet is built-in and works automatically with any browser - there is no software to install or update. The home screens for both the front panel hardware and GraceNet display comprehensive metering views for all inputs and outputs and provide access to all configuration and setup functions. GraceNet even includes a built-in control interface for the Grace Design m108 microphone preamps.
Integrated cue mixing
An integrated 32×8 mixer enables multiple cue mixes with low latency in a tracking environment, with individual mixers made available to the artist via GraceNet and a personal device (phone or tablet).
Grace Design Reliability
The m701 main unit is a single 2U chassis with a high quality dual redundant power supply and ultra quiet fan to maximize reliability for high-use recording facilities. The m701 is backed by a transferable 5-year warranty on all parts and labor.
