m701 8×8 Digilink Audio Interface

The m701 8×8 Digilink configuration delivers reference-quality analog conversion with direct Digilink connectivity, making it an ideal solution for Pro Tools–based studios that demand pristine sound, low latency, and flexible system expansion. Built on the same modular platform as the full m701 system, this configuration offers the sonic integrity and reliability required for professional tracking, mixing, and hybrid workflows.

The m701 platform is designed around the idea that converter performance is defined as much by analog design, power supply architecture, and clocking as it is by the converter chips themselves. Years of refinement in analog circuitry result in an open, musical sound that preserves depth, transient detail, and spatial accuracy. The 8×8 Digilink configuration brings this philosophy into a streamlined format that integrates seamlessly with Pro Tools systems.

With an installed Digilink option module, the m701 connects directly to compatible Pro Tools HD and HDX systems, providing a stable, high-performance interface for studio environments centered around Pro Tools workflows. System configuration, routing, metering, and cue mixing are handled through the built-in GraceNet control platform, accessible from any web browser without requiring additional software installation.
