RME Hammerfall HDSP MADI

Description

The HDSP MADI from RME is an inexpensive PCI Card card that features a MADI interface. The audio system is capable of transferring digital audio data directly into a computer, from any device equipped with a MADI interface. Installation is simple, even for the inexperienced user, thanks to the latest "plug and play" technology.

MADI, a multi-channel audio interface, offers full support for 56 and 64 channels of 24-bit audio at a sample rate of up to 48kHz and 32 channels at up to 96kHz. Transmission is done via a single line, either coaxial with BNC plugs or with fiber cable. In both cases more than 100m cable length can be achieved.

RME's high-performance philosophy guarantees maximum system performance by executing as many functions as possible directly within the audio hardware and not in the driver/CPU.

Features:

• Support for 192 kHz at full channel count
• Native support for Double and Quad Wire transfer
• Direct conversion between these formats
• SteadyClock for highest jitter suppression and clock regeneration
• Intuitive and clearly laid-out user interface
• TotalMix: 512 channel mixer with 42 bit internal resolution
• 48 level meter Peak/RMS, hardware-computed
