RME ADI-6432 2x64-Channel MADI, AES/EBU Converter

Bidirectional 24 bit 192 kHz 64-channel MADI/AES format converter. Applications include two ADI-6432 used as digital multicore, or one unit used as AES/EBU frontend for the Hammerfall DSP MADI PCI card. This is a compact unit with 19" width and 2 unit height. MADI handles 64 channels of 24 bit audio at sampling frequencies up to 48 kHz, 32 channels up to 96 kHz, and 16 channels up to 192 kHz. All channels are transferred across a single cable, either coaxial (BNC) or optical network cable. In both cases, cable lengths of more than 100 meters can be achieved. The AES/EBU channels are provided as 32 AES/EBU inputs and outputs via D-sub connectors. RME's SteadyClock™ lets the ADI-6432 use MADI without an additional word clock connection, and guarantees excellent clock quality in every situation. A fully automatic input selection between optical and coaxial input offers a useful redundancy mode for critical applications. Extensive status displays give information about lock and sync states, audio content and the physical quality of the incoming signal. The device can be fully remote controlled and configured via MIDI, and all status displays can be queried through MIDI.
