Overview – MARIAN Clara D – 16 x AES/EBU PCIe interface

The MARIAN Clara D – 16 x AES/EBU PCIe interface provides 16 channels of professional AES/EBU digital audio in a compact PCIe form factor, making it an ideal choice for studio and broadcast applications that require reliable multichannel digital connectivity inside a single workstation or server.

This PCIe audio system offers four AES/EBU inputs and four AES/EBU outputs, delivering up to 16 channels at 24-bit resolution and sample rates up to 192 kHz, so engineers can route program, backup and utility feeds with pristine quality and confidence.

Digital performance and DSP mixing

The Clara D uses high-end converter technology and an ultra low jitter clock design to ensure transparent digital transmission and stable synchronization in complex infrastructures, even when multiple digital devices are connected.

Integrated, switchable input sample-rate converters with a 144 dB(A) dynamic range allow any compatible AES/EBU source to be integrated regardless of its clock or sample rate, simplifying installation and minimizing the need for external synchronizers.

At the core of the MARIAN Clara D – 16 x AES/EBU PCIe interface is the BEAST 64-channel DSP mixer, which provides latency-free routing, summing and EQ for all input, playback and TDM signals, effectively acting as a flexible internal mixing console inside the computer.

System integration and scalability

The card supports operation as both clock master and slave, synchronizing to its internal clock, wordclock or superclock via BNC, AES/EBU inputs or the TDM SyncBus, ensuring dependable integration into larger digital audio networks.

Multiple MARIAN cards can be cascaded over the TDM SyncBus so that several boards behave like a single device to the ASIO application, enabling scalable systems where additional I/O can be added without changing established workflows.

Optimized Windows drivers with ASIO 2.2, WDM and multi-client support allow the Marian Clara D – 16 x AES/EBU PCIe interface to work seamlessly with DAWs, playout, logging and automation software commonly used in broadcast and production environments.

Alternatives

For users who need a Dante-enabled PCIe solution with similar AES/EBU connectivity, the Marian Clara E/D PCIe Dante interface offers AoIP plus four AES/EBU I/O for larger networked audio systems.

Where analog I/O is required alongside AES, the Marian Clara A/D TRS PCIe interface combines multichannel analog and digital connectivity on a single PCIe card for hybrid setups.

Engineers considering PCIe audio for Dante-only workflows may also look at a dedicated Dante PCIe sound card to integrate directly with networked consoles and routers.
