Legendary Grace Sound Meets Comprehensive Configurability

The Grace Design m701 is a modular audio interface offering reference-grade AD/DA conversion and a comprehensive suite of analog and digital I/O. It includes eight AD/DA option slots, which support both line-level and mic preamp modules, along with two digital I/O slots that accommodate Dante, Avid DigiLink, Ravenna/AES67/ST2110, and USB 2.0. A third expansion slot adds even more flexibility for future upgrades. In addition to its modular options, the m701 provides onboard digital I/O including ADAT, AES3, S/PDIF, and word clock. A built-in low-latency cue mixer supports efficient tracking and monitoring, while GraceNet enables intuitive, browser-based control, plus full integration with Grace Design’s m108 mic preamps. Whether you're working in a compact, in-the-box setup or managing a high-channel-count session, the m701 is engineered to adapt. And with Grace Design’s renowned AD/DA conversion, you can trust every detail of your sound — no second-guessing required.

Designed for massive channel counts

If you routinely work with high channel counts, the m701 is designed with you in mind. This highly configurable audio interface features eight AD/DA option slots, which you can fill with any combination of 8-channel line-level or 4-channel microphone preamp modules. Additionally, the m701 houses two 32-channel digital I/O option slots, allowing you to utilize Dante, Avid DigiLink, Ravenna/AES67/ST2110, and USB 2.0. A third option slot expands your digital capabilities with 24 channels of AES3, a word clock distribution module, or studio monitoring functionality. Moreover, the m701 includes a generous array of onboard digital I/O right out of the box, including eight channels of ADAT, eight channels of AES3, two channels of S/PDIF, and word clock. This connectivity makes the m701 ideal for those needing a flexible and powerful audio interface for large-scale studio applications.

Built-in cue mixing and more

At Sweetwater, we know that the true value of an audio interface lies in its real-world performance, and the Grace Design m701 delivers. Its built-in 32-in/8-out mixer stands out, enabling multiple low-latency cue mixes for seamless tracking. Musicians can access personal mixes via GraceNet via a tablet or smartphone. GraceNet also simplifies setup and control through intuitive, browser-based software — no dedicated installation required.
