About RME MADIface XT

Under the umbrella of advanced audio interfaces, the RME MADIface XT stands out as the world's first USB3 audio interface. This compact, portable device offers unparalleled access to hundreds of audio channels, making it a powerful tool for both live performances and studio recordings.

Despite its small size, the MADIface XT is packed with features that enhance usability and connectivity. It is compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, with the latter offering a higher channel count and lower latency. The unique PCI Express port allows for connections to External PCI Express cards and Thunderbolt adapters, ensuring the fastest interfacing technologies are at your disposal.

The MADIface XT is not just about digital audio. It also includes two digitally controlled high-end mic/line preamps, two balanced line outputs, and a stereo phones output. This comprehensive I/O set makes it ideal for a wide range of applications.

The device also supports full stand-alone operation with remote control over MADI and TotalMix FX for unlimited mixing, routing, and processing. For added convenience, the RME Advanced Remote Control can be connected.

The MADIface XT is designed to seamlessly transfer digital audio data directly into a computer from any device equipped with a MADI interface. It also supports analog sources through a stereo analog input, and two stereo analog outputs provide full monitoring connectivity.

Installation is straightforward, thanks to the latest Plug and Play technology. The device's unique features and well-thought-out configuration dialogs make it a top-tier choice among digital audio interfaces.

The front panel of the MADIface XT features 2 XLR/TRS line and microphone inputs, a stereo line/headphone output, two rotary encoders with push functionality, four menu keys, a graphical color display, and six status LEDs. The rear panel houses two balanced analog outputs, word clock I/O, MADI coaxial I/O, two MADI optical I/O, a USB 3 port, a PCI Express connector, MIDI/AES I/O, a power socket, and a power switch.

The MADIface XT also includes a powerful digital real-time mixer, the Hammerfall DSP mixer, based on RME's unique, sample-rate independent TotalMix technology. This allows for virtually unlimited mixing and routing operations, with all inputs and playback channels simultaneously, to any hardware outputs.

The MADIface XT is compatible with Windows Vista/7/8 (32 bit & 64 bit, multi-client operation of ASIO and WDM) and Mac OS X (Core Audio, Core MIDI). Please note that compatibility with USB 3.0 depends on the specific implementation and may vary.

In summary, the RME MADIface XT USB 3.0 Audio Interface is a compact, feature-rich device that offers unparalleled audio channel access, making it a must-have tool for audio professionals.
