Digigram ALP442e-MIC Overview

Part of the ALP-X professional sound cards range, the Digigram ALP442e-MIC is a multichannel, PCIe sound card with 4 mic/line inputs that's designed for professional PC-based audio systems running under Windows and Linux environments. ALP442e-MIC is a reliable and stable match for applications such as broadcast (24/7/365), audio production, and outstanding audio quality measurements.

The low-profile ALP442e-MIC is equipped with switchable 48V phantom power, 4 high-end preamplifiers, 4 balanced analog mic/line inputs plus a AES3 input, 4 balanced analog outputs plus two AES3 outputs, 8 GPIs, and 8 GPOs. The zero-latency, onboard FPGA 16x16 mixer (4 analog, 4 AES3, 8 software play/record) enables you to route and mix audio channels from physical and software input devices to physical and software output devices. The low-latency drivers are multicard (up to 8 ALP cards) and multiclient. Breakout cables for analog I/Os and digital I/Os are available separately.

With a requirement of 4 xlr-m and 4xlr-f, what breakout harness do you suggest for analog audio?
Asked by: Tom
At this time, we don't carry the compatible breakout cable you'd need for four (4) XLR male and four (4) XLR female analog audio connections on the Digigram ALP442e-MIC Multichannel PCIe Sound Card with 4 Mic/Line Inputs. For your reference, the SKU/part # for the breakout cable is DIG-SC2422A0301.
