Full Flexibility

Patching flexibility in both software and hardware provides comprehensive control of signal flow plus the ability to loop through external analog and digital gear.

Fantastic Fidelity

Extended precision signal pathways insure superior sonics for all your work, in keeping with Sonic Studio’s heritage.

Low Latency

Low latency monitoring and processing makes for easy location recordings and simple live gigs.

Clean Conversion

High quality conversion creates colorless capture of analog sources and transparent playback of digital material.

Consistent Clock

Low jitter clock circuitry provides pinpoint imaging, solid low end and means the Model 302 makes a high quality Clock Master for the rest of your studio.

Pristine Preamps

Ultraclean mic preamps, with fully differential servo input circuitry, preserves the nuances of the performance.

Deep DSP

Dual embedded DSP on–board allows the host CPU to get on with other tasks. The embedded functionality provides all sorts of heavy lifting including;

• 80 bit Mixer
• Multichannel Recorder supports WAV, BWF, AIFF & CAF formats
• Patchbay/Router with mult'ing capability
• Plug–in host with extended precision processing, automatic phase compensation & mult'ing

Why buy a hardware accelerator when you can have an entire production environment in your backpack? Enclosed Processing Modules include;

• Metric Halo’s Channel Strip
• Encode/Decode Mid/Side Processor
• 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 & 6x6 Crosspoint Mix Matrixes
• 1 & 2 Channel Dynamics Processors
• 1 & 2 Channel, 6 & 12 Band Fully Parameteric EQs
• 1 & 2 Channel Dynamics Limiters
• 1 & 2 Channel EQ + Dynamics Processors with side chain
• 2 Input Summing Node
• 2 Input Difference Node
• 2 Input Sum & Difference Node
• 2 Input Multiplier
• 1 & 2 Channel Delays
• Multitap Delays
• 1st Order Allpass Filter
• Allpass + Delay
• Variable Soft & Hard Limiters
• Slew Rate Limiters
• Distortion Generators
• 2 into 1 to 16 into 8 Linear & Tapered Crossfader/Switches
• Oscillators & LFOs
• Noise Generators
• Scale & Offset Transform
• Multimode Filter
• Pitch Shifter

Over 90 different DSP building blocks support the construction of complex custom signal paths, such as M/S compressors, de-essers and frequency–dependent phase shifters. Also, the embedded DSP significantly reduces the load on the host computer while providing exceptional fidelity, low latency and powerful processing.

Elegant EQ

Adding to all the signal processing modules listed above, the Model 302 includes a modern implementation of Sonic Studio’s legendary “Classic EQ”…MORE….

Surprising Portability

Never be chained to your desk, since the Model 302 can be bus, battery or mains powered. Plus, you can configure it's patching and operation from your host computer, then unplug and go! The Model 302 retains its setting without an external connection.

Additional Features

• complete any–to–any routing
• stereo send/return
• 4 simultaneous inputs, 6 simultaneous outputs

• RoHS–compliant, so your 302 won’t mess up the environment
