Clara A/D XLR

In the space of only one PCIe slot width, the Clara A/D provides the connection for 32 audio channels. The balanced analog inputs and outputs are located on the motherboard. The digital AES/EBU connections, on the other hand, break out on a D-Sub connector without further active electronics. Consequently, it can freely be placed in the computer’s case, separately from the motherboard. Or it may take any place next to other PCIe components with the slot bracket.

When the computer is started and the sound system is initialized, the analogue outputs are muted. This auto-mute function protects connected equipment and ears from peak levels.
