Modular Design for Custom Setups
The M701's modular architecture allows users to tailor their audio interface to specific studio needs, accommodating everything from compact systems to large-scale hybrid setups with ease.
KEY FEATURES
The Grace Design M701 is a high-performance, modular audio interface that delivers state-of-the-art AD/DA conversion, extensive input/output flexibility, integrated control software, and exceptional build quality, making it the ultimate tool for professional and commercial recording studios.
A Modular Audio Interface for Diverse Applications
The M701 offers a modular design that supports various configurations tailored to specific studio needs. Its flexible architecture can accommodate setups ranging from compact, in-the-box systems to large-scale hybrid studios. With eight card slots available for customisation, users can install combinations of 8-channel ADC and DAC modules to suit their workflows.
Precision in AD/DA Conversion
Grace Design has refined its approach to AD/DA conversion over decades of experience. While modern converter chips have reached a highly advanced state, achieving superior sound quality requires expert engineering across all aspects of design. The M701 exemplifies this commitment with meticulously crafted analogue circuitry, robust power supplies, and precision clock systems. These elements work together to ensure transparent, musical sound that meets the highest professional standards.
Unmatched I/O Flexibility
The M701 provides a vast array of input and output options to handle complex studio demands. Users can install 8-channel ADC and DAC modules in any combination across eight slots, achieving up to 64 channels of analogue I/O. For digital workflows, the M701 supports two 32-channel module slots for formats like Digilink, Dante, and Ravenna/AES67/ST2110, with additional support for a forthcoming 32×32 USB2 module. A third option slot expands capabilities with modules such as 24-channel AES3 I/O or Word Clock distribution. Built-in digital I/O includes 8 channels of AES, 8 channels of ADAT, and 2 channels of S/PDIF, while optional 4-channel microphone preamp modules further enhance functionality.
Intuitive Control with GraceNet
The M701 integrates seamlessly with GraceNet, its web-based control platform, enabling easy configuration and monitoring via any web browser. Users can access comprehensive input and output metering, adjust settings, and manage studio workflows without the need for additional software. The front panel of the device mirrors GraceNet’s functionality, ensuring straightforward operation. Moreover, GraceNet includes a control interface for Grace Design m108 microphone preamplifiers, streamlining studio integration.
Built-in Low-Latency Cue Mixing
For recording and tracking, the M701 features a built-in 32×8 low-latency mixer. This allows multiple cue mixes to be created for artists during sessions. These mixes can be accessed directly by performers through personal devices such as smartphones or tablets, enhancing the tracking experience with real-time control.
Engineered for Reliability
The M701’s robust 2U chassis has been designed to meet the rigours of professional use. Dual redundant power supplies ensure uninterrupted performance, while an ultra-quiet fan maintains optimal cooling without disturbing the recording environment. The product is backed by a five-year transferable warranty, underscoring Grace Design’s commitment to reliability and customer satisfaction.
