Marian Seraph M2-F 2 Channel MADI optical I/O

The Marian Seraph M2 F is a professional PCIe audio interface with 2 optical MADI inputs/outputs. It is designed for professional use in recording studios and DAWs where multiple channels are used simultaneously, but where there is no room for latency and interference. Each card can handle up to 256 channels, and the F version has two optical SC connectors. If this is not yet sufficient, the M2 can also be used with other MultiCard Marian cards. Resolutions of 24 bit and sampling rates up to 384 kHz are possible. Marian's Multi-Client Driver Suite guarantees the shortest access times in every conceivable software environment. The products Marian offer German manufacturing quality and a five-year warranty.

All 256 channels fully under control

The M2-F version differs from the Seraph M2 product line in optical SC-MADI connectors instead of coaxial BNCs for better signal quality and narrower cables. Thanks to the two optical (SC) MADI interfaces, up to 64 channels per cable are possible with this plug-in card, depending on the sample rate, i.e. a total of up to 256 channels (64 inputs and 64 outputs per MADI connection) per card. The M2' DSP s allows versatile routing options for each channel individually, such as selecting between the computer's processed playback signal or a latency-free copy of the signal. Volume adjustment for each individual channel and the like are also no problem. The intuitively designed software helps to adjust the channels here.

Multiply your channel range even further with TDM SyncBus

Aren't the 256 channels enough for you? What at first sounds like a lot, in practice it often shrinks again, because at high sample rates the channel size often decreases as well. But here, too, the Marian Seraph M2 F provides a solution. The Seraph M2 series can be expanded with up to three additional cards of the same Marian type via the TDM SyncBus connection. Alternatively, a sound system of a different type Marian can be connected with the help of adapter cable knobs. In this way you can easily multiply the number of available signal channels to several hundred! In addition, sampling rates of connected devices can also be synchronized in this way via the SyncBus. Start and stop signals can also be exchanged via this channel.

Intuitive multi-client driver suite for short latencies

The driver software of the Seraph M2 series with ASIO 2.2, WDM and WASAPI ensures very short latency times, regardless of the software used. Competitive products often cause problems when different audio applications simultaneously access the card's signal processor, but thanks to multiple driver interfaces, you are less likely to experience waiting times due to data jams and error messages. The software's ergonomic and intuitive user interfaces also ensure frustration-free usability - and if in doubt, a German-language manual in a very understandable language will help. The driver suite comes with proven fail-safe technology, which automatically resets the firmware to the latest version if an error occurs during driver updates. This makes the maintenance of the software foolproof.

Highest manufacturing quality

With the German manufacturer Marian , you not only support the offices of the Leipzig IT engineers - the production of the modules also takes place in German plants. This ensures continuous product control with low error tolerances. Marian Therefore, 5 years warranty is promised for their products.
