The Beast

Analog-Style Mixing

The Beast DSP mixer is integrated into the hardware of every Seraph and Clara sound system. This provides latency-free routing, EQ processing, pre/post aux summing and many other functions for all input signals and also the playback signals from the DAW, just like in an analog mixer.

Balanced TRS or XLR connections provide seamless integration of this 16 channel sound system into the recording studio. Master keyboards and external sound generators can also be connected to the 2 MIDI inputs and outputs of the MWX version. With resolutions of up to up to 24 Bit and 192 kHz, real-time DSP functions, and the ability to cascade multiple systems, the Clara A is a lasting investment for any studio. When the computer is started and the sound system is initialized, the analogue outputs are muted. This auto-mute function protects connected equipment and ears from peak levels.

Realtime Routing, Mixing and EQ

Each input signal of the sound system can be adjusted in volume and routed latency-free to any output. The BEAST DSP mixer also sums up to 64 signals to 8 different busses and plays them back on any number of outputs without delay. Furthermore, the BEAST Mixer adds playback signals from any DAW. All mix sums can be fed back to an application for recording. In each channel of the BEAST mixer there are 4 parametric EQ available for sonic processing.

Precision Clock

The internal clocking of the Clara sound system offers an incredibly low jitter of less than a nanosecond. This means that it often has a much better clock than the other connected devices in the studio and can therefore be used without concern instead of expensive external clocks to synchronize these external devices.

Expansion options

If several Clara are installed in one computer, they are synchronized via the TDM SyncBus and appear as a combined sound system to an ASIO application. In the Beast Mixer, up to 32 audio signals can be exchanged directly with the other connected Clara sound systems.

Sound system with a +

The “+” version includes an extension that adds a word clock input and output and 2 MIDI inputs and outputs to the sound system. This expansion card is connected to the sound card via a ribbon cable and may then be freely positioned in one of the slots of the computer housing.

Fast and Reliable Multi-Client Treiber Suite

The continuously enhanced driver includes multi-client support for ASIO 2.2 as well as multi-channel WDM audio / WASAPI with the lowest latencies in all software environments. This ensures that multiple audio applications can access the sound system simultaneously via the same or different driver interfaces.

Powerful and Future-Proof

This sound system is a quality product developed 100% in Germany and manufactured according to DIN EN ISO 9001. This is guaranteed by its warranty period of 5 years.
