RME Digiface AES USB Audio Interface with Digital & Analogue IO

The latest Digiface AES is a professional, bus powered, 14 in, 16 out USB 2.0 interface with 2 Mic/Line universal analog input channels and 4 analog output channels complimenting it's digital I/O section. With superior digital connectivity, SteadyClock FS, full standalone operation, and integrated parametric EQ, Digiface AES stands as the perfect all-in-one solution for recording and playback of digital and analog sources, as well as flexible playback/monitoring using TotalMix FX. Buspower compatibility meets flexible Analog I/O Performance For the main inputs, RME uses the proven mic/line preamps in the Babyface Pro FS XLR combo configuration. Two digitally controlled preamps provide independently switchable 48V phantom power. These circuits boast a 75dB gain range, adjustable in 1dB increments, including a relay-controlled PAD, providing excellent EIN (Equivalent Input Noise) performance as well as line overload protection- and plenty of gain for even the quietest mics. On the back of the Digiface AES are two balanced analog outputs via XLR connectors to drive power amps, active monitors, or recordings. The headphone output allows for additional independent high-quality monitoring, with sufficient output power and volume for both high and low impedance headphones. Versatile Digital Input and Output Connectivity A comprehensive set of digital I/O centered around AES/EBU input and output over XLR also includes SPDIF coaxial, SPDIF optical or 8-channel ADAT. All I/O can be used simultaneously, making the device a Swiss Army Knife interface for sending and receiving all common digital audio formats. An integrated SRC (Sample Rate Converter) can be switched to any of the 3 inputs to solve clocking issues and adapt to other sample rates. This allows, for example, a device to be AES clock synchronized from the main source while listening to SPDIF simultaneously. MIDI I/O via the included breakout cable completes the package. Full Stand-alone Functionality Convenient direct access and control of all functions and the device is available directly from the front panel. Four buttons and the encoder, a high-resolution, clear color display and a well-structured menu allow you to quickly change and configure your device. Six different device settings can be saved in the internal memory. This will transform your interface into completely different devices at the touch of a button. This is especially useful in standalone mode. Additionally, TotalMix FX can be controlled externally via MIDI. Powerful Applications for Mixing, Monitoring and Measurement included Digiface AES also features the powerful real-time digital mixer TotalMix FX. Completely independent routing and mixing of input and playback channels to all physical outputs. Independent stereo submixes and a comprehensive Control Room section provide unparalleled monitoring functionality and unmatched routing flexibility. TotalMix Remote expands the performance of your RME interface by allowing remote control via iOS, PC or Mac. Easy setup process - just enter the IP address of the computer you want TotalMix Remote to control and get started - users can rapidly control any aspect of TotalMix FX on a host system while roaming the studio on a tablet, or a separate control room in a different area of the facility. More Outstanding Features SteadyClock FS - Reference class Digital Clocking - Outstanding performance in all clock modes and High Quality Analog Conversion to hear your mix truthfully, with lowest jitter and highest jitter immunity. TotalMix FX - Mixing/Routing with superior features for Studio and Live Work - Since 2001 TotalMix added unlimited routing and mixing to RME‘s audio interfaces. Its groundbreaking capability to create as many independent submixes as output channels available rendered it the most flexible and powerful mixer of its class.
