Balanced TRS or XLR connections provide seamless integration of this 16 channel sound system into the studio. Master keyboards and external sound generators can also be connected to the 2 MIDI inputs and outputs of the MWX version. With resolutions of up to up to 24 Bit and 192 kHz, real-time DSP functions, and the ability to cascade multiple systems, the Seraph 8 MKII is a lasting investment for any digital studio.

Realtime Mixing and EQ

Each input signal of the sound system can appear on up to 8 mix sums and be played back via any number of outputs without delay. The BEAST Mixer also adds playback signals from any DAW latency-free. Inside the hardware and for each signal, sonic processing is available with up to 4 parametric EQs.

Expansion options

If several Clara A are installed in a computer, they appear as a combined sound system to an ASIO application. Depending on the performance of the computer, 128 high-quality analog channels can be realized in this way. In the Beast Mixer, up to 8 audio signals can be exchanged with other Clara sound systems (e.g.Clara D) and thus also be integrated for the use with ASIO.

Fast and Reliable Multi-Client Treiber Suite

The continuously enhanced driver includes multi-client support for ASIO 2.2 as well as multi-channel WDM audio / WASAPI with the lowest latencies in all software environments. This ensures that multiple audio applications can access the sound system simultaneously via the same or different driver interfaces.

Powerful and Future-Proof

Every MARIAN sound system is a quality product developed 100% in Germany and manufactured according to DIN EN ISO 9001. This is guaranteed by its warranty period of 5 years.
