Overview
Marian Clara A/D XLR, 8 Channel Analog & AES PCIe Sound Card with XLR I/O
In the space of only one PCIe slot width, the Clara A/D provides the connection for 32 audio channels. The balanced analog inputs and outputs are located on the motherboard. The digital AES/EBU connections, on the other hand, break out on a D-Sub connector without further active electronics. Consequently, it can freely be placed in the computer’s case, separately from the motherboard. Or it may take any place next to other PCIe components with the slot bracket.

- Ultra Low Jitter
- Family Driver: Combines different sound systems to use with one ASIO driver!
- Free life-long quality support
Realtime Routing, Mixing and EQ: Each input signal of the sound system can be adjusted in volume and routed latency-free to any output. The BEAST DSP mixer also sums up to 64 signals to 8 different busses and plays them back on any number of outputs without delay. Furthermore, the BEAST Mixer adds playback signals from any DAW. All mix sums can be fed back to an application for recording. In each channel of the BEAST mixer there are 4 parametric EQ available for sonic processing.
Precision Clock: The internal clocking of the Clara sound system offers an incredibly low jitter of less than a nanosecond. This means that it often has a much better clock than the other connected devices in the studio and can therefore be used without concern instead of expensive external clocks to synchronize these external devices.
The Beast DSP Mixer: The Beast DSP mixer is integrated into the hardware of every Seraph and Clara sound system. This provides latency-free routing, EQ processing, pre/post aux summing and many other functions for all input signals and also the playback signals from the DAW, just like in an analog mixer.
