BOB-16

The RME BOB-16 breakout boxes are the perfect rack solutions for interconnecting multichannel XLRs with the common D-sub connector format. Three different versions are available: BOB-16 I, BOB-16 O and BOB-16 I/O.

The BOB-16 connects up to 16 XLR inputs and/or 16 XLR outputs (Neutrik connectors) with two D-sub 25-pin connectors. It works like two breakout cables D-Sub from/to XLR. The usual multicore breakout cables are replaced with a 19” rack mount unit, preventing cable chaos, errors and connection problems. The BOB-16 is pin compatible to the common TASCAM pinout format (e. g. used by RME and Digidesign). Adapters to the YAMAHA format are available from RME partner ALVA.

Flip-Frame

All BOB-16 boxes provide the revolutionary Flip frame option. It allows to change rack brackets and handles from front to rear and thus to change XLR or D-sub from front to rear as well. This way a BOB will perfectly fit in every rack and working situation.
