UCON and Trace PRO in Audio Media Review

BBC editor and Pro Audio specialist Alistair McGhee gave a rave review of Trace PRO and UCON CX in the
January issue
of the Audio Media Magazin and praised the "Unsung Heroes of Sound Sard Production".
UCON CX: "Most of the USB devices I have tried (even very, very expensive ones) have suffered from induced noise problems, usually related to mouse movements.
The other problem that has dogged some USB interfaces is earthing issues resulting in hum on the outputs. The Ucon CX suffered from none of these problems on the laptop and desktop I tried it on.
... Tweaking the latency down to 3ms (@44.1kHz) is possible on my fairly run of the mill Core 2 Duo machine ..."
Trace PRO: "The Trace series of cards offer sophisticated interoperability via the TDM bus enabling complete flexibility of routing within a multi-card set-up. I enjoyed some of the small
but really useful features, like multiple level presets on the analogue outputs, pre and post options on the aux sends, and the separate output mixer. The audio performance
is really good and to be honest it’s a shining example of a card that should be better known."

New! June 2007
MARIAN releases the Breakout Box for the PCI cards Trace D4 and Trace D4 SRC. the optional Breakout Box Box provides eight balanced XLR ports
for the AES/EBU in and outputs. The angle brackets can be connected either at the front or at the back of the robust metal box.
Therefore you can choose on which side of the rack you want the XLR ports.
Using the included SUB D cable the box can be connected to the Trace D4 or Trace D4 SRC audiosystem.
You can connect the cable on both sides of the BreakoutBox - so if you have all XLR ports at the
front you could have the SUB D cabel "hidden" at the back.

MARIAN releases a new member of the new PERFORMANCE LINE -
Audio/MIDI systems with the latest technology to meet highest demands on sound, latency, features, reliability and an outstanding
price-perfomance ratio. The PCI card stays in the tradition of the well-known Marc 8 MIDI (Siena).
Features: The TRACE 8 provides eight analog inputs and eight analog outputs with up to 192 kHz.
The compact PCI card includes also three MIDI-Outputs and one MIDI input with 16 channels each.
The newly developed Highspeed hardware architecture
guarantees data transfers with ultra low latencies and practically without CPU load, resulting in a
superlative audio performance with samplerates upt to 192 kHz.
The analog I/Os provide balanced 6,3 TRS jack connectors! The elaborate analog converter technology ensures
superb audio values
with an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio of up to 113 dB(A) and professional levels of up to 15 dBu, resulting in the
same audio quality, which already enthused testers of the TRACE PRO.
Besides the hardware integrated DSP mixer with Total Recall the Trace 8 offers the card-spanning
TDM-Sync-Bus connecting several MARIAN cards to one synchronous main system and allowing
the free routing of audio channels within all TRACE cards in this system.
Start a modular system with a single TRACE 8 and add later other TRACE cards with different types of I/Os
- e.g. up to 24 analog I/Os and four AES/EBU I/Os to integrate external digital effect units to your DAW.
More: Highspeed driver suite, Digital Status Display, Advanced Multiclient, Zero Latency Monitoring, DAT marker support,
MIDI sream optimization, MIDI filter, hardware pitch ...
Marian grants a five year warranty.

The audio system TRACE D4 is now being shipped.
The PCI card is a budget version of the TRACE D4 SRC and offers 4 AES/EBU stereo inputs
and 4 AES/EBU stereo outputs
(eight channels both) with 24 Bit and samplerates up to 212 kHz.
The I/Os are accompanied with a Wordclock input..
In addition to providing high quality inputs and outputs, the TRACE D4 includes a number of features unique to MARIAN, especially suited for use in the professional field, including music studios,
radio and television broadcast, theatres, stage and PA.
The newly developed Highspeed Hardware Architecture enables ultra low latencies below
one millisecond practically without CPU load - even when using all channels at the full
bandwidth of up to 192 kHz!
Besides the hardware integrated DSP Mixer with Totall Recall the new TRACE family offers
a card-spanning TDM SyncBus, which enables
the free routing of audio channels. This makes single channels or complete sub-mixes available to all TRACE cards
within the main system.
A TRACE main system with inputs and outputs of any type - analog or digital - can thereby be used as router,
patchbay, converter or splitter.
Typical usage: Connecting an external reverb and/or effect units to one card making it available to all other cards.
The Trace D4 excels due to easy installation and a steadily controlled high quality of manufacturing. MARIAN offers a warranty of 5 years.
