High Performance and Proven Excellence
Trusted by industry leaders like NBC, BBC, France TV, the LA Philharmonic, Disneyworld Paris, and Grammy-winning studios such as Teldex and Soundmirror, the HAPI MkIII sets a new standard for audio fidelity. Its advanced capabilities stem from Merging’s unique dual-gain topology A/D cards, offering up to 78 dB gain and dynamic ranges of 136 dB (mic) and 139 dB (line). With premium D/A cards featuring selectable roll-off filters and per-channel trim adjustments in 0.1 dB increments, this interface ensures mastering-grade precision.
Versatile AoIP and Redundant Connectivity
The HAPI MkIII streamlines audio-over-IP (AoIP) with full RAVENNA/AES67 support and an optional Dante Ready™ upgrade, integrating seamlessly with over 4,000 Dante-enabled devices. Dual redundant RJ45 network ports ensure reliability, with switch mode functionality to expand your setup. Supporting protocols like ST2022-7, ST2110, NMOS, and LAWO HOME, plus the ZMAN ARM-based module, it offers significant performance enhancements over its predecessors.
