Specification

Trace 8

TRACE 8 is an audio/MIDI system, developed to meet highest demands on sound, latency, features and reliability. The TRACE 8 provides eight analog inputs and eight balanced analog outputs with up to 192 kHz. The compact PCI card includes also three MIDI-Outputs and one MIDI input with 16 channels each. Marian offers an optional wordclock input.
All I/Os are balanced (6,3 TRS jacks on an external cable adapter), but work unbalanced as well. The card automatically operates with the right level after connecting a balanced or unbalanced cable. The analog inputs and outputs provide an elaborate analog converter technology, which ensures superb audio values with a maximum dynamic and a signal to noise ratio up to 113 dB(A) with a level of up to 15 dBu.

Besides the hardware integrated DSP mixer with Total Recall the Trace 8 provides the card-spanning TDM-Sync-Bus connecting several MARIAN cards to one synchronous main system and allowing the free routing of audio channels within all TRACE cards in this system.
