m701 8×8 Dante Audio Interface

The m701 8×8 Dante configuration delivers reference-quality conversion and networked audio flexibility in a streamlined, studio-ready format. Built on the same modular platform as the full m701 system, this configuration is designed for engineers and facilities that need pristine analog I/O with seamless Dante integration—without committing to a higher channel count than necessary.

At its core, the m701 is about sound quality first. Decades of experience designing analog circuitry, power supplies, and clocking systems are brought together to extract the maximum performance from modern converter technology. The result is open, musical AD/DA conversion that holds up in demanding tracking, mixing, and hybrid workflows. Whether the m701 is serving as the centerpiece of a compact recording studio or as part of a larger networked facility, the 8×8 Dante configuration offers clarity, depth, and consistency you can trust.

This configuration pairs an 8-channel analog input module and an 8-channel analog output module with Dante network connectivity, allowing easy integration into Dante-based studios, broadcast environments, and multi-room facilities. Audio routing, system configuration, metering, and cue mixing are handled through the built-in GraceNet control platform, accessible from any web browser with no software installation required.
