Marian Seraph M2 MADI PCIe audio interface provides up to 256 channels of 24-bit digital audio over dual MADI I/O with integrated clock synchronization, ultra-low latency drivers and powerful DSP routing for professional DAW and broadcast systems.

The Marian Seraph M2 MADI PCIe audio interface is built for studios and broadcast facilities that require very high channel counts from a single host computer. Using a fast PCIe 1x connection, the card can send and receive up to 256 channels of digital audio via BNC MADI ports, while the Marian Seraph M2-F variant offers optical SC MADI for long-distance runs. This makes it an excellent core for large-format DAWs, digital consoles and router-based infrastructures where many input and output channels must be handled reliably.
The interface supports 24-bit resolution and sample rates from 44.1 up to 384 kHz, automatically reducing channel count at higher rates so systems can trade quantity for audio quality when needed. At 44.1/48 kHz up to 256 channels are available, while higher rates are ideal for smaller but high-resolution projects. Integrated clock circuitry and the optional MWX extender with wordclock I/O allow the card to run as a precise master or lock to external references, maintaining jitter-free operation in complex digital setups.
An onboard DSP router lets each output carry any DAW playback stream or a latency-free copy of any input signal, simplifying distribution, split feeds and confidence monitoring without additional hardware. Multi-client ASIO and WDM drivers provide very low latency and allow several applications to access the hardware simultaneously, which is useful for hybrid production, playout and measurement tasks on the same workstation. Typical applications include large music or post-production studios using MADI converters, OB trucks and broadcast centres feeding digital routers, and expandable systems where multiple cards are synchronised via SyncBus.
For users preferring optical connectivity, the Marian Seraph M2-F variant provides dual optical SC MADI ports with the same DSP architecture and channel capacity.
Studios needing fewer channels or a mix of analog and digital I/O can consider Clara-series PCIe systems such as Marian Clara A/D, while the wider Marian PCIe Audio Interface range helps match channel count, connector formats and budget to each DAW and infrastructure design.
