RME PREMIUM LINE MADIface XT II

Description

RME Madiface XT IIRME's MADIface XT II is a 394-channel, 192 kHz USB 3.0 audio interface with comprehensive connectivity and control options for studio and live work. Compared to the MADIface XT, the MADIface XT II offers updated digital and analog circuitry and improved performance in both analog and digital domains. The MADIface XT was the world's first USB 3.0 audio interface and was distinguished by its high channel count, comprehensive connectivity, and compact design. With two mic/line preamplifiers (XLR/TRS combo inputs), two balanced XLR line outputs, a stereo headphone output, various digital signal options (coaxial and optical MADI, MIDI/AES, word clock), and an additional PCI Express connection, the MADIface XT offered comprehensive connectivity.New Analog RecordingsThe MADIface XT II maintains this winning formula and improves on the signal values of the previous model. The new model offers a higher signal-to-noise ratio and lower THD in AD conversion. The maximum balanced XLR output level has increased from +15 dBu to +24 dBu. The stereo headphone output offers a level of +19 dBu and, with an impedance of 1 Ohm, greater power. All outputs also feature different switchable levels.New Digital CircuitryThe new digital board replaces the analog mini-DIN jack for remote control with an ARC USB port, which allows full control of the MADIface XT II with the optional ARC USB. The MADIface XT II also includes Room EQ, with nine parametric bands for surround configurations up to 20 mono channels.Femtosecond ClockWith the latest SteadyClock FS, the MADIface XT II offers RME's latest sync and jitter reduction technology. Based on a femtosecond clock, SteadyClock FS reduces intrinsic jitter to a minimum and filters clock jitter from 1 Hz upwards.New HardwareThe new MADIface XT II focuses on USB 3.0, as PCIExpress is no longer externally usable. Class Compliant mode has been improved, allowing simultaneous transmission of all 394 channels without drivers. Various formats and settings are available to optimize the use of Class Compliant mode.
