Grace Design m701 16×16 Dante Modular Audio Interface

The Grace Design m701 16×16 Dante is a high-channel-count modular audio interface designed for modern studios that rely on networked audio workflows. Built around Grace Design’s most advanced AD/DA conversion platform to date, this configuration combines reference-quality analog performance with the flexibility and scalability of Dante audio networking.

At the heart of the m701 is Grace Design’s decades-long expertise in analog circuit design, clocking, and power architecture. While converter chips themselves have reached a mature baseline of performance, the surrounding analog stages, power supply, and system integration ultimately define transparency, depth, and musicality. The m701 continues Grace Design’s legacy of open, natural-sounding conversion with exceptional imaging and transient detail.

This 16×16 Dante configuration provides sixteen channels of pristine analog input and output via modular 8-channel ADC and DAC cards, paired with Dante connectivity for seamless routing across studios, control rooms, and immersive environments. Whether used as a primary interface or as part of a larger Dante network, the m701 is designed to scale alongside evolving studio needs.

Designed for Networked Studio Workflows

Dante integration allows the m701 to function as a flexible audio hub, supporting low-latency routing, system-wide clocking, and simple expansion without traditional point-to-point wiring. This makes the m701 16×16 Dante particularly well suited for hybrid studios, post-production facilities, broadcast environments, and immersive audio rooms.
