Frequently Asked Questions
The MADI implementation is rock-solid, offering the typical RME reliability and stability; it’s designed for high-bandwidth, long-distance signal transmission.
While less common now, adapters exist, but it’s a consideration if your existing infrastructure is entirely AES or other digital formats; it's a legacy connector.
While technically possible, the M-32 DA’s cost and complexity make it overkill for single-mic applications; it’s really designed for larger channel counts.
