Frequently Asked Questions
While it excels in MADI environments, it functions perfectly as a high-channel-count USB interface for smaller projects needing more I/O than a standard interface offers.
SteadyClock dramatically reduces jitter, resulting in a cleaner, more detailed sound and improved overall audio fidelity, especially crucial for critical recordings and playback.
The conversion is handled with RME’s renowned digital circuitry, maintaining signal integrity and transparency; any potential impact is negligible in practical use.
