RME Multiface II + HDSPe PCI Card

Full Description

The small box using half the space of a 19" rack includes outstanding power and extensive features. Based on RMEs award-winning Hammerfall technology and equipped with the latest circuit designs of the Fireface 800, the Multiface II offers ADAT optical I/O, SPDIF I/O, MIDI I/O, word clock I/O and a separate hi-power monitor output. On top we provide 8 analog inputs and outputs, balanced and 24-Bit/96kHz, of course. All this can be used on laptops as well as on desktop computers with 'zero cpu load' and low latency!

Of course there are a lot typical RME features on board of the unit

• 8 x analog line I/O, 96 kHz/24 bit, SNR 105 dBA, 1/4" TRS jacks
• 1 x ADAT digital I/O, based on RME's reliable Bitclock PLL
• 1 x SPDIF digital I/O, based on RME's reliable DIGI96 technology
• 1 x ADAT Sync In (9-pin D-type) for sample accurate transfers
• 1 x Word clock I/O (BNC)
• 1 x analog line/headphone output, separate output for independent submix
• 1 x MIDI I/O, 16 channels high-speed MIDI
• HDSP Meter Bridge freely scalable level meters, peak- and RMS calculation directly in hardware
• TotalMix 720 channel mixer with 40 bit internal resolution
• S/MUX poured in hardware 4 channels 96 kHz/24 bit for record and playback on ADAT optical

The front panel hosts some useful status LEDs, like MIDI state, lock state of the digital inputs and error state of the host-bus. Additionally there's a high-quality 24-Bit/96kHz analog line output, also usable with headphones, and one MIDI I/O.

The rear of the Multiface II shows unrivalled connectivity 8 analog line I/Os on 1/4" TRS jacks (balanced, 24-Bit/96kHz), ADAT optical I/O (switchable to SPDIF optical), SPDIF I/O coaxial, word clock I/O and MIDI I/O. Don't settle for less!

The headphone output in hi-power technology offers high levels, even with low level headphones. Hence the headphone is direct usable with ASIO Direct Monitoring.

Digital I/Os One ADAT optical I/O provides eight more channels. The coaxial SPDIF I/O is complete AES/EBU compatible.

The Multiface II can be used with laptops as well as desktop computers. The connection to notebooks is achieved via an optional CardBus card, the connection to desktops via a PCI card or PCI Express card. This product ships with the PCI Express (alson known as PCIe) card.
