The French audio specialist and equipment manufacturer 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, ALP280e and ALP280e-MIC are the latest additions to the constantly growing range of sound cards launched in 2022. ALP280e and ALP280e-MIC optimised for analogue signal recording.
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 optimised for the recording of 8 analogue line-level or mic-level audio inputs with zero latency, monitoring and onboard mixing capabilities. Featuring 8 balanced analogue inputs, 2 balanced outputs, 8 GPIs and GPOs, the cards offer exceptional performance with +24 dBu max analogue level, adjustable analogue 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 supports the flexible routing and mixing of 16 inputs (8 analogue channels and 8 playback channels) to 10 outputs (2 analogue channels and 8 recording channels), making the ALP280e and ALP280e-MIC ideal for complex audio capture workflows. Inter-board synchronisation with up to 8 ALP-X cards, combined with Digigram’s unified Windows control panel and Linux support, ensures seamless integration into any system.
The ALP range, powerhouse for multi-channel environments
The ALP-X range has redefined what sound cards can offer across industries. 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.
“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.
