RME Expands Multichannel Options with MADIface XT II Triple MADI USB 3.0 Audio Interface

RME Audio is once again pushing the boundaries of its unique architecture for multichannel audio interfaces, this time with the MADIface XT II. This new compact USB 3.0 audio interface supports a mind-boggling 394-channels of digital audio up to 24-bit/192kHz with comprehensive connectivity and control options for live and studio work. As RME explains, compared to its predecessor, the MADIface XT II features updated digital and analog circuitry and surpasses the first generation with significantly improved analog and digital performance.

RME launched the Fireface UCX II, the successor of its popular and long-lasting Fireface UCX professional audio recording interface. Featuring 40 I/O channels, the new Fireface UCX II updates the former solution in a compact half-rack size. All inputs or outputs of the Fireface UCX II can be recorded directly to a USB storage device. Celebrating the company's 25th anniversary, the new UCX II is also introduced as representing 25 years of RME innovation in a cutting-edge interface for flexible use in studios and live performances.

RME debuted the ADI-2 Pro FSR BE, a black edition of its popular reference AD/DA converter, at the 2020 NAMM Show. The ADI-2 Pro FSR BE features a black front plate and is an all-in-one solution for a host of devices, including a high-end AD/DA converter, a USB DAC, a high-end AD/DA frontend and headphone amp for iOS devices, a multi-format converter with monitoring function, an AD/DA frontend of audio measurement at up to 768 kHz sample rate, and a DSD record and playback solution.

RME, the German manufacturer of audio interfaces, has officially rolled out its SteadyClock FS, the latest version of its SteadyClock technology that offers synchronization and jitter suppression in digital audio signals. According to the company, the new ultra-stable femtosecond clock takes self-jitter to an all-time low by improving its second, analog PLL circuit and referencing both Direct Digital Synthesis and PLL to a low-phase noise quartz crystal, resulting in improved sonic image.
