This advanced converter combines superior analog circuit design with the latest converter chips and RME's renowned SteadyClock technology, delivering state-of-the-art AD conversion across 16 channels.
This sophisticated converter is housed in a compact 2U, 19" enclosure and is designed for easy operation. It features a unique set of capabilities, including analog limiters and three hardware reference levels up to +24 dBu. With MADI and ADAT I/O up to 192 kHz, 6.3 mm TRS and D-sub inputs, and remote control via MIDI, this converter is versatile and adaptable to a variety of recording setups.
The M-16 AD stands out with its extraordinary limiter, optimized for professional studio, stage, and broadcast applications. It can limit an input's overload of up to 17 dB without audible distortion, ensuring operational safety and high-end sound quality.
The converter offers 16 LED level meters and 16 LEDs to display the limiter state per channel. Its SteadyClock technology ensures pristine sound quality, independent of the quality of the external clock signal. The SyncCheck feature allows for quick detection of clock synchronization issues, while the Intelligent Clock Control retains the last valid input sample rate in case of external source failure.
This high-end converter is fully remote controllable via MIDI and MIDI over MADI. It offers optical and coaxial MADI inputs and four ADAT outputs for seamless connectivity with other studio equipment. In case of input signal failure, the source is switched immediately to a valid signal on the other input.
The M-16 AD's advanced features and high-quality sound output make it an ideal choice for professionals in recording studios, live sound setups, and post-production environments. With its precision design and advanced technology, the M-16 AD 16-Channel High-End Analog to MADI/ADAT Converter delivers superior sound conversion, ensuring your audio is always at its best.
