ALP 280e – Mic PCIe SOUND CARD
ALP 280e – MIC
Building on the success of the ALP-X range, the new ALP280e and ALP280e-MIC cards are purpose-built to address the evolving needs of audio acquisition and processing in critical audio industries such as broadcast, acoustic measurement, court rooms, public safety, and 24/7 operation installations where reliability and audio quality are paramount.
The ALP280e and ALP280e-MIC are low profile PCIe sound cards optimized for the recording of 8 analog line-level or mic-level audio inputs with zero latency, monitoring and onboard mixing capabilities. By integrating GPIOs, multi-OS compatibility, and powerful FPGA mixers, Digigram ensures that audio engineers and system integrators can meet their technical goals without compromise.
