Marian Clara AD PCIe interface provides 16 analog and 16 digital AES/EBU channels with 24-bit/192 kHz conversion, ultra-low jitter clocking and DSP-based low-latency mixing for professional studios.
€909.00
Marian Clara AD PCIe audio interface is designed as a high-end hub for DAWs that need 16 channels of balanced analog I/O and 16 channels of AES/EBU digital I/O in a single card. In just one PCIe slot, Marian Clara AD offers 8 analog inputs and 8 analog outputs on balanced XLR or TRS breakout cables plus 4 AES/EBU inputs and 4 AES/EBU outputs on a D-sub connector, giving a total of 32 audio channels at up to 24-bit/192 kHz. This combination makes Marian Clara AD ideal as the core interface for professional studios, broadcast facilities and post-production rooms that must integrate both analog outboard and digital consoles or recorders.
High-quality converters in the Marian Clara AD deliver wide frequency response and low distortion, with THD+N figures well below 0.001 % and signal-to-noise ratios over 113 dB(A), ensuring transparent capture and playback of critical program material. The internal precision clock provides very low jitter, allowing the interface to act as a stable master clock for connected digital devices and often outperforming stand-alone clock generators. An integrated 64-channel DSP mixer with EQ supports latency-free routing, submixes and monitoring, so engineers can create complex cue mixes and internal buses without loading the host CPU.
Marian Clara AD supports sample rates from 44.1/48 kHz up to 192 kHz and offers flexible routing so any input or playback channel can be sent to any output. Switchable real-time sample rate converters on the AES/EBU inputs make it straightforward to integrate external digital sources that run at different sample rates or clocks. Typical applications include multichannel studio recording, hybrid analog/digital summing, integration with digital broadcast consoles and expandable systems where multiple Clara-series cards are cascaded to behave as a single large interface.
Studios focused purely on digital infrastructure can consider Marian Clara D 16-channel AES/EBU PCIe interfaces, which offer the same DSP architecture and AES connectivity without the analog section. Another option is Marian Clara AD in different connector variants, such as TRS versions that provide the same channel count using balanced jack cabling to match specific studio wiring schemes. Engineers comparing Marian with other brands can also review wider Marian audio interface ranges from major resellers to align channel count, connector type and budget with their studio design.
