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.[web:576][web:577] 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.[web:576][web:579]

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.[web:576][web:584] 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.[web:576][web:589] Auto‑mute of the analog outputs during system start protects speakers and headphones from power‑on pops.[web:576]

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.[web:576] 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.[web:576][web:592] 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.[web:576]

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.[web:576][web:578] 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.[web:576][web:586]
