Ins and Outs
Eight analogue in- and eight analogue outputs in full duplex architecture in connection with a sound optimised circuit design provide professional audio specifications. A/D and D/A converters of the well-known manufacturer AKM, as well as the complete hard- and software architecture are designed for 24bit/96 kHz operation.
Software controlled input amplifiers allow incoming signals to be boosted to +18 dB or cut to –40 dB. All input channels can be routed to any output – even if several audio systems of the same type are installed. The monitoring modes on-punch and on-rec are supported by all input channels.
The analogue I/Os are lead outside via a cable bundle with gilded rca-connectors.
Furthermore the Marc 8 MIDI provides two MIDI in- and outputs (DIN-connector) with 32 MIDI channels, including stream optimisation for especially effective data transfer. Incoming and/or outgoing MIDI commands can be filtered by individually chosen channels and parameters.
Multi-card-operation
The Marc 8 MIDI is capable of easily being cascaded to other Marian audio systems. This way up to four members of the Marc-series can be combined to an affordable multi-channel system, in which only one single driver manages the controlling of all parameters of the same Marc type. In connection with the Syncbus it takes care for perfect synchronisation of all individual systems and makes all Marc systems available to one ASIO software application.
Driver suite
The Marc 8 MIDI provides a complete list of drivers for Windows.
The continually improved and expanded multi-client driver for ASIO, GSIF 2, WDM with kernel streaming and real, non emulated DirectSound support, provide minimal latency values for all software surroundings. Modular and clear driver dialogues allow the manipulation of many parameters and the display of all in and outputs. That includes exact level metering, flexible monitoring and synchronisation settings.
