your projects, from stereo and surround to immersive formats up to 22.2 channels. Freshly designed from the ground up, the m908 incorporates a bevy of cutting-edge Grace technologies. With its powerful DSP functionality, Grace’s latest generation of A/D and D/A converters, and a highly intuitive control set, the m908 delivers a comprehensive, all-in-one monitoring solution for a multitude of delivery formats and workflows.
High-quality monitoring, invaluable mix-checking features
The Grace Design m908 monitor controller ensures that you record what you hear. Nothing more or less. This is the cornerstone of great recordings. Designed for professional recording facilities that work in today’s most intensive immersive formats, the m908 gives you the transparency of an audiophile-grade monitoring circuit with a high-resolution volume control and Graces’s fourth-generation s-Lock PLL clocking system for vanishingly low jitter, plus a comprehensive set of invaluable mix-checking features, downmix control, channel level and delay calibration, powerful room correction equalization, comprehensive onboard bass management, a reference-grade headphone amplifier, and much more.
Exhaustive connectivity for any studio configuration
With 24-channel AES3 digital I/O, 16-channel analog output, 16-channel ADAT Lightpipe in, 24-channel USB input, AES3, S/PDIF, and TOSlink stereo inputs, the m908 offers exhaustive connectivity for even the most elaborate studio configurations. The m908 is also expandable, making it a particularly wise investment for audio professionals who plan to grow their studio business. It’s network-ready with the addition of an optional Dante or DigiLink module (sold separately) that each provides an additional 32 channels of I/O. Need analog inputs? Pop in the optional 8-channel ADC module (sold separately), which gives you eight or 16 channels of analog input.
Why do I need a monitor controller?
We hear this a lot. If you’re already working on high-level projects, you already know this. If not — but you aspire to — we offer this sage Sweetwater advice: Whether you’re involved in music production or film/video post, you’ve likely spent months designing the ideal studio environment, plus a fortune on active monitors, dynamics processors, mics and preamps, and a whole roomful of other gear. Don’t blow it now! A monitor controller is central to every recording setup and is perhaps the most important element of your entire signal chain — providing the reference that lets you achieve optimal mic placements, EQ, and mix balances. This is one thing that should always be guaranteed: that you can rely on the absolute accuracy of your monitor controller. With the Grace Design m908, you can.
