Marian Marc 8 MIDI
8 Channel 24/96 Analog
2 Channel MIDI

Marc 8 Midi is the worthy successor of the successful ARC88. When planning and developing this audio card, the main aim was to offer high quality with state-of-the-art audio technology at an especially attractive price. Only two years ago such kind of equipment, which is available on this small high-end card, was prohibitive.
Apart from the ability of recording and playing audio signals on several channels, Marc 8 Midi provides two integrated MIDI ports. With this you make each PC the heart of a professional home studio. Another bonus is the rather low latency in ASIO, GSIF and DirectSound.
Marc 8 Midi hardware is prepared for the ASIO-IN-HARDWARE feature. This can be used for direct access to the card memory using any ASIO recording software. This feature will be available fully functional with future driver updates. 

4 Stereo Analog I/Os
Eight analog mono inputs and outputs. A/D and D/A converters of the well-known manufacturer AKM operate each at a maximum of 24 bit/96 kHz and ensure professional audio values in connection with a sound optimized hardware design.
The signal-to-noise ratio amounts to approx. 96 dB. THD+N: 0.005%.
frequency range: 20-20,000 Hz (at 96 kHz-40,000 Hz)
 

2 MIDI I/Os
 

Furthermore, Marc 8 Midi provides MARIAN products' specific Software and Hardware Features.
 

In a system upto 4 cards can be installed concurrently requiring only one installed driver. Together with the synchronization bus they contribute to the cards' perfect synchronization. The number of simultaneous recording channels depends on the power of the PC and is limited to 15-22 channels at 44.1 kHz.
Modular driver dialogs allow displaying and manipulating of numerous parameters, including accurate level meters, flexible monitoring and synchronization settings.
The cards has a highly developed multi-client driver architecture, which allows extremely low latencies  (up to 2 ms) with ASIO, GSIF and DirectSound. Because of this it is especially tremendously suitable for time critical applications, such as using the Cubase VST SoftSynths.
