Even though it is a tiny immersive audio hero, Core 256 is of course ready to take on a  wealth of other tasks in the Post Production, Studio and Installed Audio spheres.

With Dante, MADI and  ADAT ports onboard and versatile and flexible DADman  routing control available, it is also a stellar D/D converter that can grab any digital audio channel –  convert it if needed – and route it anywhere.

Another application would be as a dedicated audio interface for your DAW. Whether you run Pro Tools,  Logic Pro, Nuendo, Cubase, Ableton Live,  Digital Performer or any other DAW, Core 256 is your super low-latency entrance. 

And with the ADAT, MADI  and Dante connectivity, you can easily add analog preamps or insert points to the mix.

19” Rack Mount Bracket

Core 256 can be mounted in a 19” rack using the special DAD bracket, which has a shelf and mounting system for an Apple Mac Mini computer, which once again plays right into the immersive Dolby Atmos® application.

Quite simply, this mounting system provides a powerful – yet compact – audio solution, combining the computer and the Core 256 audio interface on a single sleek shelf.
