RME PREMIUM LINE HDSPe MADI FX

Description

The new RME PCI Express HDSPe MADI FX interface represents a true revolution in the field of audio interfaces. Until now, no similar system existed in terms of performance and number of channels (390!).Three MADI I/Os - two optical and one coaxial - an AES/EBU I/O and an analog output for monitoring. The equipment is completed by 4 MIDI I/Os and a Word Clock connection. Like all RME cards, the technology and connections are integrated into an extremely compact solution. Only one free PCIe slot on the motherboard and another free slot on the computer case are required.To guarantee the low-latency performance characteristic of RME interfaces, the HDSPe MADI FX utilizes the brand new, high-tech modular Hammerfall Pro Audio Core system. The new core is capable of processing up to 3 times more channels than the previous generation of RME MADI; at the same time, it reduces processor load and allows buffer latencies down to 32 samples on newer computers.The new system automatically deactivates unused channels so as not to consume computing resources or bandwidth. A simple stereo playback produces no more system load than a stereo audio interface, despite being a professional multi-channel system with almost 400 channels.The HDSPe MADI FX has a special version of TotalMix FX that allows you to manage this number of channels in a practical and effective way. RME has optimized system performance so that the MADI FX's 4096-channel mixer responds with the same fluidity as its 1800-channel counterpart in the Fireface UFX. The new, more powerful DSP allows for an even greater number of EQs and compressors.The new TotalMix layout allows for extremely simple management of the enormous number of channels. Unused channels can be hidden, and these display configurations can be saved and recalled. It takes just one click to switch from one setup to another, for example, from seeing only the drum mix to the complete band channels.The 192 kHz effects engine allows for zero-latency monitoring with various effects such as EQ, compressor, reverb, and delay directly from the card's hardware, completely independent of the DAW.The TotalMix matrix allows the card to be used as a powerful MADI router. Unlike most other routing solutions, it is possible to assign each individual channel, with different levels for each routing. The unbeatable flexibility of TotalMix allows even the most complex and unthinkable applications to become reality.
