Digigram has released the ALP280e and ALP280e-MIC soundcards as part of its ALP-X series. Available Q2 2025 from Digigram’s network of distributors, ALP280e and ALP280e-MIC are the latest additions to a growing range of soundcards launched in 2022.
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 cards optimised for recording eight analogue line-level or mic-level audio inputs with zero latency, monitoring and onboard mixing capabilities. Featuring eight balanced analogue inputs, two balanced outputs, eight GPIs and GPOs, the cards claim ‘exceptional performance’, with +24dBu max analogue level, adjustable analogue gain (up to +56dB for mic inputs), an EIN of -124dB and an SNR higher than 115dBA on inputs, as well as sampling rates from 8kHz to 192kHz.
An FPGA-based zero latency mixer supports the flexible routing and mixing of 16 inputs (eight analogue channels and eight playback channels) to ten outputs (two analogue channels and eight recording channels), making the ALP280e and ALP280e-MIC capable of complex audio capture workflows. Inter-board synchronisation with up to eight ALP-X cards, combined with Digigram’s unified Windows control panel and Linux support, ensures ready integration into any system.
The ALP-X range reckons redefined what soundcards 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,’ says Digigram Presales Manager, Stéphane Bert. ‘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.’
