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

Be at the forefront of audio conversion technology with the M-16 DA 16-Channel High-End MADI/ADAT to Analog Converter from RME. This professional-grade converter is designed with advanced features and sophisticated circuitry, offering superior sound quality and precision conversion.

The M-16 DA is more than just a 16-channel DA converter. It's a comprehensive solution for high-end audio conversion, combining top-notch analog circuit design with the latest converter chips and RME's superior SteadyClock technology. This results in state-of-the-art DA conversion, optimized for professional studio, stage, and broadcast applications.

Expand your setup according to your needs and budget, with combinations of the M-16 DA and M-32 DA converters allowing for configurations with 16, 32, 48, or 64 channels. The unit's unique set of features includes three hardware reference levels up to +24 dBu, MADI I/O and ADAT input up to 192 kHz, 6.3mm TRS and D-sub outputs, and remote control via MIDI.

The M-16 DA offers exceptional DA conversion from MADI and ADAT formats in a compact 19" unit with only 2U height. The balanced analog outputs, based on RME's reference design from the ADI-8 QS, guarantee excellent S/N and THD specs across a wide analog level range.

With up-to-date converter technology, the M-16 DA not only operates up to 192 kHz but also achieves a real-world signal-to-noise ratio of 118 dBA across all channels. The device features separate driver stages for the TRS and D-sub outputs, with the servo-balanced TRS jacks working up to +21 dBu.

SteadyClock technology ensures perfect sound quality through efficient jitter suppression, making the device independent from the quality of external clock signals. Intelligent Clock Control displays every clock status via flashing LEDs and retains the last valid input sample rate in case of external source failure.

The M-16 DA's four ADAT inputs provide simple connectivity with other studio equipment, and all settings are retained when the unit is powered off. The MADI input serves not only as an audio source and optional external clock source but also as a MADI pass-through input.

Fully remote controllable and configurable via MIDI, the M-16 DA is a versatile and high-quality addition to any professional audio setup. Experience the difference of high-end, precision audio conversion with the M-16 DA 16-Channel High-End MADI/ADAT to Analog Converter.
