RME ADI-6432 24 Bit / 192 kHz, 2 x 64-Channel MADI / AES Converter

ADI-6432 24 Bit / 192 kHz, 2 x 64-Channel MADI / AES Converter description:

The RME ADI-6432 24 Bit / 192 kHz, Bidirectional 2 x 64-Channel MADI / AES offers 64 channels of format conversion from MADI to AES and vice versa. Typical applications include two ADI-6432 used as digital multicore, or one unit used as AES/EBU frontend for the Hammerfall DSP MADI PCI card.

Up to 192 kHz at 24-Bit are supported. Built with 2 units height there is enough space for all connectors and control elements. The RME ADI 6432 includes a unique status displays for MADI and AES, completely remote controlable via MIDI and MIDI data transfer via MADI.

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. The ADI-6432 accepts 56 channels and 64 channels as well as 96k frame at its input, and can be set to generate those formats at its output.

The RME ADI-6432 24 Bit / 192 kHz, Bidirectional 2 x 64-Channel MADI / AES Main Features Include:

• RMEs SteadyClock(TM) lets the ADI-6432 use MADI without an additional word clock connection, and guarantees excellent clock quality in every situation.
• Optional analog expansion boards with 4 balanced in- or outputs
• SyncAlign and SyncCheck technologies ensures perfect synchronization and clear detection of errors. Also multiple units can be stacked and operated sample-aligned, using word clock. All settings are stored when the unit is switched off.
• Fully automatic input selection between optical and coaxial input offers a useful redundancy mode for critical applications.
• Detailed Sync and Audio State display with 97 LEDs.
• 16 MIDI channels can be transferred invisibly across MADI, at the full count of 64 audio channels.
