Highly Configurable System
The Grace Design m701 audio interface offers a highly modular design with up to 64 channels of analogue and 202 channels of digital I/O, easily adaptable for both small and large-scale studio setups.
KEY FEATURES
The Grace Design m701 8x8 Dante Audio Interface and AD/DA Converter is a versatile, high-performance audio interface designed for professional audio applications. It combines modular audio interfacing with exceptional AD/DA conversion capabilities, featuring 8-channel AES I/O, 2-channel S/PDIF, a 32-channel Dante interface, and comprehensive digital and analogue I/O options.
Modular and Configurable Design
The m701 offers a highly modular platform, enabling users to configure the system to meet specific requirements, from small-scale setups to large-scale hybrid studios. It incorporates eight available card slots that support various ADC and DAC modules, providing a customisable I/O experience. Whether for in-the-box systems or expansive commercial studios, the m701 adapts to any configuration, offering up to 64 channels of analogue I/O and 202 channels of digital I/O.
State-of-the-Art AD/DA Conversion
Building on Grace Design's extensive experience in audio design, the m701 integrates premium-quality AD/DA conversion. Although digital converter chips have reached a mature stage, the sound quality of any audio interface relies on the overall design, including analogue circuitry, power supply, and clocking systems. The m701 enhances the legacy of Grace Design’s open, musical audio hardware with its superior conversion technology, delivering exceptional sound clarity and accuracy.
Expansive I/O Options
The m701 supports significant I/O flexibility. Users can install up to eight modules, including 8-channel ADCs and DACs, in any combination within the available slots. For digital I/O, it includes options such as the 32-channel Dante interface, AES3, ADAT, and future digital formats like MADI and USB2. An additional module slot is available for expanding capabilities further, such as adding more AES3 I/O channels, word clock distribution, or future monitoring features. Additionally, the system allows for the inclusion of optional Grace Design 4-channel microphone preamplifier modules.
GraceNet: Intuitive Web-Based Control
The m701 features GraceNet, a built-in web-based control interface that enables seamless configuration and operation through any browser, without the need for additional software installations or updates. GraceNet provides detailed metering views for all inputs and outputs, alongside full access to system setup and configuration functions. It also supports integrated control for the Grace Design m108 microphone preamplifiers, ensuring complete system control from any connected device.
Built-In Cue Mixing
The m701 integrates a 32x8 low-latency cue mixer, allowing for multiple custom cue mixes in a tracking environment. Artists can access these mixes remotely via GraceNet on personal devices, such as smartphones or tablets, providing them with tailored mixes for optimal monitoring.
Included Option Cards
The m701 comes with a set of included option cards, which enhance its functionality. These include a 32x32 channel Dante interface card, an 8-channel ADC card, and an 8-channel DAC card. These cards expand the m701’s capabilities, enabling users to further customise the interface to suit complex audio workflows.
A high-end audio interface and AD/DA converter with a modular design, high-quality conversion, expansive I/O options, and intuitive control, the Grace Design m701 Dante Edition is an ideal choice for both small and large-scale studios.
