RME M32AD 32-Channel High-End Analog to MADI/ADAT Converter

The M-32 AD from RME is an extremely high-quality 32-channel A/D converter. It utilizes MADI (Multi-channel Audio Digital Interface) technology, which allows up to 64 channels of audio to flow freely without the shortcomings of multi-core cable-based digital audio technology. Not only does the M-32 AD provide pristine audio circuitry, the great converters, and RME's famous SteadyClock technology, but the MADI protocol also enables incredibly long cable runs of over 1 mile (2000 meters).

Features:

• 32-channel A/D converter, symmetrically designed in a 2 rack-space enclosure
• Utilizes MADI (Multi-channel Audio Digital Interface) technology which allows up to 64 channels of audio to flow freely without the shortcomings of multi-core cable-based digital audio technology
• Digital audio protocol enables cable runs of up 1.25 miles (2000 meters)
• Fully MIDI controllable by sending MIDI messages over the MADI connection
• During power on and power off, all noise is suppressed in the analog section
• Zero delay compensation is necessary when stacking multiple units
• 32 6-segment LED meters
