Grace Design M108

From 25 years experience of creating acclaimed professional audio products, comes the latest evolution of mic preamplifier design: the m108. With eight channels of transparent, musical mic preamplification, state of the art A/D conversion, multiple digital output formats, and flexible local or remote controlled operation, the m108 is a vital addition to any modern audio production environment.

The transformerless, transimpedance mic preamp design is unmatched in its ability to effortlessly resolve complex sonic waveforms, resulting in recordings of amazing clarity and depth. Integrated A/D conversion delivers digital signals to the workstation that are pure and beautiful. Latest generation s-Lock PLL ensures pristine, jitter free sample clock when clocking from external word clock or Dante clock. And an asynchronous mode USB interface provides the best possible jitter performance when connected to a computer.

A push-button rotary encoder is used for navigating and operation, with a user interface that is simple and intuitive. Dedicated push-buttons are assigned to core functions: 48V phantom power, phase reverse, channel grouping and meter peak clear. A crisp OLED screen displays complete system information, including channel gain settings, metering, peak status, and the system setup menu.

Based on the acclaimed success of the m802 remote controlled mic preamplifier, the m108 distills the best of these achievements into a sleek, elegant 1U chassis design.

The m108 is capable of connecting to a wide array of equipment with modern audio formats. Standard output connectivity includes balanced analogue, AES3, ADAT and USB. The option slot allows users to add cards for Digilink, Dante or Ravenna (including ST2110 / AES67). Additionally, a Control Room Output (CRO) card can be installed in the option slot, allowing the m108 to act as a monitor controller for a pair of studio monitors.
