About RME Micstasy

Discover the unparalleled performance of the Micstasy 24-Bit/192kHz 8 Channel Full Range Microphone Preamp and AD Converter. This high-end, 8-channel microphone and line preamp, coupled with an AD converter, brings together the signature features of RME with a host of innovative functionalities.

The Micstasy is designed to amplify and digitize all types of analog signal sources, from high-level stage signals and typical studio signals to lower level and high-impedance instruments. It is compatible with dynamic, condenser, or ribbon microphones, offering a thrilling and comprehensive audio solution.

This device stands out with its dual operational modes, allowing for both analog (Mic/Line In to Line Out) and digital (Mic/Line In to Digital Out) use, with both signal paths operating simultaneously. It also boasts full remote controllability via MIDI, including MIDI over MADI, providing flexibility and convenience.

The Micstasy features 8 balanced XLR mic/line inputs with an impressive 85 dB gain range, high-end circuitry with 4 relays per channel, and a super low-noise microphone front-end. It also offers near click-free gain changes in steps of 0.5 dB and a large frequency range (200 kHz) with special EMI input filtering.

The device also includes 8 balanced TRS line/instrument inputs with Hi-Z option, 8 balanced XLR line outputs, and multiple digital output options. The optional MADI I/O (I64 MADI Card) allows for serial cascading and a digital return path, enhancing the device's versatility.

The Micstasy's Intelligent Clock Control (ICC), SteadyClock, and SyncCheck technologies ensure perfect synchronization and clear error detection. It also offers AutoSet, a feature that automatically reduces gain to prevent overload without degrading the audio signal.

The device's high-class AD-converters from Cirrus Logic offer exceptional Signal to Noise and distortion figures, and its innovative digital filter significantly reduces latency in the computer-based recording studio.

With the Micstasy, you can eliminate the need for an expensive splitter box on stage as the amplified signals are available at the analog outputs for passing them on. All settings are stored when the unit is switched off, and each Micstasy can be given a separate ID for easy remote control of multiple devices.

Experience the future of audio technology with the Micstasy 24-Bit/192kHz 8 Channel Full Range Microphone Preamp and AD Converter.
