Digigram has announced the release of two new sound cards, ALP280e and ALP280e-MIC, as part of the ALP-X series. Available Q2 2025 from Digigram’s network of distributors, both sound cards are the latest additions to the range launched in 2022, as the company has claimed in a statement.

ALP280e and ALP280e-MIC are designed with the objective of evolving needs of audio acquisition and processing in audio industries such as broadcast, acoustic measurement, court rooms, public safety, and 24/7 operation installations.

They 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. Featuring 8 balanced analog inputs, 2 balanced outputs, 8 GPIs and GPOs, the cards offer performance with +24 dBu max analog level, adjustable analog gain (up to +56 dB for mic inputs), an E.I.N of -124 dB and an SNR higher than 115 dBA on inputs, as well as a sampling rate from 8 kHz to 192 kHz.

An FPGA-based zero latency mixer tries to support the routing and mixing of 16 inputs (8 analog channels and 8 playback channels) to 10 outputs (2 analog channels and 8 recording channels). Inter-board synchronization with up to 8 ALP-X cards, combined with Digigram’s unified Windows control panel and Linux support, looks forward to ensuring seamless integration into any system.

“ALP-280e and ALP280e-MIC will power a larger array of 365/24/7 run applications that require reliable acquisition and recording of audio signals. Thanks to the low-profile form factor, plus support for Linux and Windows operating systems, these new cards deliver performance where it matters most – from broadcast studios to critical communication systems”, states Stéphane Bert, Digigram’s Presales Manager.
