It's also a flexible frontend for Apple's iPad, making it a versatile tool for any audio professional.

The OctaMic XTC boasts eight microphone and line inputs, four of which are switchable to Hi-Z mode, providing an unrivaled variety of digital connection protocols. From the common ADAT and AES/EBU to the sophisticated 64-channel MADI optical, this device can handle it all. The analog signals are converted with RME's latest converter technology, ensuring the excellent sound and frequency response that RME is known for.

This preamp stands out with its extraordinary gain range, extremely low latencies, and impressive EIN and signal-to-noise ratios. The full-color TFT display allows for quick and easy access to setup options, and the unique feature of all analog and digital inputs being freely patchable to any output, including the 24 channels of its Class Compliant USB 2.0 audio interface format.

When connected by MIDI (DIN, MIDI over MADI, or USB) to an RME audio interface running TotalMix FX, the OctaMic XTC can be remotely controlled directly within the input channel strips of TotalMix. This allows for the unit to be as close to the analog signal source as possible, while important settings and configurations can be modified, stored, and recalled from a distance.

The OctaMic XTC is not just a preamp; it's a full-range, high-end preamp and AD/DA-converter of reference quality that is fully remote controllable. It offers extraordinary features like Intelligent Clock Control (ICC), SyncCheck, SteadyClock, QuickGain, AutoSet, MIDI over MADI, and remote control via USB, MADI, and MIDI.

This device provides eight balanced XLR mic/line inputs, four balanced line inputs via TRS, and four unbalanced line/instrument inputs via TS, all realized by using Neutrik XLRs/TRS combo jacks. The OctaMic XTC's 8-channel AD- and 4-channel DA-conversion operates at up to 192 kHz, ensuring the highest quality audio conversion.

With its sophisticated routing options, the OctaMic XTC can function as an AD/DA-converter with multiple digital outputs of different formats, a digital format converter between ADAT, AES, and MADI, and a signal inserter/extractor for serialized MADI setups.

The OctaMic XTC is the most flexible and advanced interface ever built to work with the iPad, making it an essential tool for any audio professional. Experience the difference in quality and versatility with the OctaMic XTC 8-Channel Digital Mic Preamp and USB 2.0 Interface.
