The compact and powerful Clara Dmaj 32-Channel AES/EBU PCIe Sound Cardlets you connect 32 AES/EBU audio channels in the smallest space possible—only one PCIe-slot width. The AES/EBU I/Os 1 to 4 break out on a D-Sub connector and wordclock BNC input connector located on the motherboard. AES/EBU I/Os 5 to 8 break out on a D-Sub connector that has no active electronics. Consequently, it can be freely placed in the computer's case, separate from the motherboard. Or, it may take any place next to other PCIe components with a slot bracket.

With high-end converter chips supporting sample rates of up to 24-bit / 192 kHz resolution, an outstandingly accurate clock, and rugged construction, the Clara Dmaj reliably delivers state-of-the-art sound quality for demanding applications in professional studios and installations. The card features switchable real-time sample-rate conversion (SRC) that makes it easy to connect almost any type of AES/EBU sound source, offering maximum flexibility for easy integration into complex digital sound systems. The onboard BEAST DSP mixer provides enough processing power to create a versatile latency-free mixing console with EQ for all input signals. If several Clara Dmaj cards are installed in a computer system and synchronized via the TDM SyncBus, the cards behave like a single device within the ASIO application.

• PCIe card with 8 AES/EBU digital I/O (32 channels)
• 24-bit / 192 kHz high-quality audio
• Ultralow jitter
• Switchable sample-rate converters (SRCs) on every input, with 144 dB dynamic range 
• The BEAST Mixer: 64-channel DSP mixing desk with EQ
• Wordclock/superclock BNC input
• Cascadable via MARIAN-SyncBus compatible and TDM-SyncBus 
• Synchronization as clock master (internal clock to the AES/EBU or the SyncBus)
• Synchronization as clock slave (processing an external clock at the wordclock input, AES/EBU, or SyncBus)
• Compatible with Thunderbolt PCIe adapters
• Driver support: MME, ASIO 2.2, WDM Audio, DirectSound

• The Clara Dmaj is a powerful partner for pure digital-signal processing of up to 32 AES/EBU channels with resolution up to 24-bit / 192 kHz for HD audio quality.
• High-quality sample-rate converters provide flexible clock management while maintaining a full dynamic range of 144 dB.

The SRCs, which can be switched on via software, allow any digital-input signal to be fed into the sound system regardless of sample rate or clock settings. So even without separate synchronization lines, any digital devices may be connected effortlessly.

• The BEAST Mixer is a 64-channel DSP mixer integrated into the card's hardware. It provides latency-free routing to any output. The BEAST mixer also sums up to 64 signals to 8 different buses and plays them back on any number of outputs. It also adds playback signals from any DAW—just like an analog mixer.
• All mix sums can be fed back to an application for recording. Each channel of the BEAST mixer offers 4 parametric EQs for sonic processing.

• If several Clara D cards are installed in a computer, they are synchronized via the TDM SyncBus and appear as a combined sound system to an ASIO application.
• In the BEAST Mixer, up to 64 audio signals can be exchanged with other Clara sound systems and integrated for use with ASIO.
