Grace Design m701 16×16 Digilink

The Grace Design m701 16×16 Digilink configuration is built for professional studios operating within Avid Pro Tools HD and HDX environments that demand uncompromising audio quality, reliability, and expandability. Combining 16 channels of reference-grade analog input and output with Digilink connectivity, this configuration integrates seamlessly into modern hybrid and large-format workflows.

At the heart of the m701 is Grace Design’s long-standing expertise in high-performance analog and digital audio design. While modern converter chips are widely available, Grace Design focuses on the elements that truly define sound quality—analog input and output circuitry, power supply architecture, clocking, and system integration. The result is conversion that is open, musical, and exceptionally transparent, preserving depth, transient detail, and stereo imaging across all sample rates.

The modular architecture of the m701 allows studios to scale beyond the initial 16×16 configuration over time. ADC and DAC modules can be installed in any combination across eight card slots, while dedicated digital expansion slots support Digilink and additional I/O formats. Configuration, routing, metering, and cue mixing are managed through GraceNet, Grace Design’s built-in web-based control system, accessible from any modern browser without requiring software installation.
