32-Channel High-End MADI/ADAT to Analog converters

RME M-32 DA

RME M-32 DA

RME's M-32 DA is a 32-channel high-end DA converter, easy to operate yet having a comprehensive feature set. The unit combines excellent analog circuit design with the latest converter chips and RME's superior SteadyClock, resulting in a state-of-the-art DA conversion - not less than 32 times!

The M-series converters have been conceived and optimised for professional studio, stage, and broadcast applications. Combinations of the M-16 DA and M-32 DA converters allow for setups with 16, 32, 48, or 64 channels, according to your individual application or budget. The unit's unique set of features includes three hardware reference levels up to +24 dBu, MADI I/O and ADAT input up to 192 kHz, 6.3mm TRS and D-sub outputs, remote control via MIDI, and operation across a wide range of mains voltages, all packed into a 2U enclosure.

The M-32 DA extends RME's MADI line with multichannel conversion in reference quality - at an unbeatable price/performance ratio!

MADI: Basics
MADI, das serielle Multichannel Audio Digital Interface, wurde auf Wunsch mehrerer Firmen bereits 1989 als Erweiterung des existierenden AES3-Standards definiert. Das auch als AES/EBU bekannte Format, ein symmetrisches Bi-Phase Signal, ist auf zwei Kanäle begrenzt. MADI enthält - vereinfacht gesagt - 28 solcher AES/EBU-Signale seriell, also ...
