Merging Hapi Mk III Network Audio Converter
Additional Photos:
Compared to its predecessors, Hapi Mk III adds extended AoIP capabilities. In addition to full RAVENNA/AES67 support, Hapi Mk III is Dante Ready™.
Hapi Mk III is the foundation of the Merging ecosystem. Its unchanged small form factor of only 1U makes it the ideal rack unit for any application. Two slots for Merging I/O expansion cards allow you to configure Hapi Mk III to your applications. Merging A/D cards feature a unique dual gain topology, with up to 78 dB gain and an impressive dynamic range of up to 136 dB A (mic) / 139 dB A (line). Additionally, premium versions offer even higher specifications and support ultra-high resolution formats DXD, 384 kHz PCM and DSD 256 bitstream. D/A cards feature selectable roll-off filters. D/A trims level (in 0.1 dB increments) and signal polarity can be adjusted for each channel individually to ensure mastering grade precision.
Hapi Mk III connects to...everything!
Next to its network capabilities, Merging Hapi Mk III offers a wide range of connectivity options, which include ADAT, S/PDIF, AES/EBU, Wordclock. Additionally, 2 slots for Merging V3 expansion cards allow up to 16 channels of analog I/O (mic/line) or 128 channels of MADI + SFP. A 64-channel PT64 V3 card for Pro Tools integration will follow in 2025. With the ability to handle an impressive number of 64 streams, 144 input and 146 output channels, the internal router is truly a powerful tool. Therefore, Hapi Mk III is an excellent solution for increasing the channel count of RAVENNA/AES67 interfaces, such as Merging Anubis or Neumann MT 48. Of course, Hapi MK III can also be combined with Neumann's line of AES67 studio monitors to create stereo and immersive 3D audio setups. With the new Dante option, Hapi Mk III can also be used as the centerpiece or an I/O extension in Dante AoIP environments.For headphone monitoring, Hapi Mk III features an ultra-low impedance, mastering grade headphone output, conveniently positioned on the front of the unit in both 1/4" and 1/8" TRS format.
The sync port on the back of the unit allows synchronization via LTC, MIDI and Video Reference.

Q & A

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
