MARIAN Clara A -16 analog signals in HD

Product Overview

The MARIAN Clara A – 16 analog signals in HD is a PCIe studio sound system that delivers eight analog inputs and eight analog outputs for a total of 16 high‑definition channels. Designed for demanding recording, broadcast and production environments, the MARIAN Clara A combines 24‑bit / 192 kHz conversion, ultra‑low jitter clocking and powerful onboard DSP for pristine analog audio in and out of your DAW.

Balanced TRS or XLR connections on a D‑Sub breakout integrate the MARIAN Clara A – 16 analog signals in HD seamlessly into patchbays, consoles and outboard racks. Each of the 8 analog input and 8 analog output channels offers a maximum level of +15 dBu, excellent signal‑to‑noise ratio and wide frequency response, making the Clara A ideal for multitrack recording, summing, external processing and monitor feeds. Auto‑mute of the analog outputs during system start protects speakers and headphones from power‑on pops.

At the heart of the MARIAN Clara A is the Beast DSP mixer, providing a low‑latency 64‑channel mixing environment with EQ and flexible routing. Multiple Clara sound systems can be cascaded via the TDM SyncBus, and the family driver allows different MARIAN PCIe interfaces to appear as one ASIO device, simplifying complex studio setups. Multi‑client ASIO 2.2 and multi‑channel WDM/WASAPI support mean several audio applications can access the Clara A simultaneously with rock‑solid stability.

Built and tested in Germany to DIN EN ISO 9001 standards, the MARIAN Clara A – 16 analog signals in HD is a future‑proof investment backed by long‑term support and a 5‑year warranty. Compatible with current Thunderbolt PCIe adapters, the Clara A brings high‑end PCIe performance to both desktop workstations and modern expansion chassis, making it a flexible choice for studios that demand reliable, high‑quality analog I/O.
