RME M-16 AD 16-Channel High-End Analog to MADI/ADAT Converter

RME M-16 AD

 is an extremely high-quality 16-channel A/D converter, easy to operate yet having a comprehensive feature set. It makes use of MADI (Multi-channel Audio Digital Interface) technology, allowing up to 64 channels of audio to flow freely without the shortcomings of multi-core cable-based digital audio technology. RME M-16 AD provides pristine audio circuitry, the great converters, and RME's famous SteadyClock technology, as well as the MADI protocol also enables incredibly long cable runs of over 1 mile (2000 meters)!

You need to have a computer with an internal RME MADI card like HDSP MADI or an external RME HADI interface such as HDSPe MIDIface to put the M-16 to use. If you're setting up a system where you'll need MADI D/A conversion on the other end, you can use the 16-channel M-16 DA or the 32-channel M-32 DA.

The additional MADI port on the rear of the M-16 AD facilitates stacking multiple units together, which makes it possible to take advantage of the full 64-channels that this system is able to deliver. With that magnitude of power, combined with the capability of sending these signals great distances, makes this system a powerful tool for a wide range of professional applications. Live location recording, recording studio facilities, and installed systems in stadiums and theaters can all benefit from the excellent caliber of sound quality that RME is famous for and that the M-16 AD will offer.
