RME MADIface XT II

RME presents the MADIface XT II a 394-channel 192 kHz USB 3.0 audio interface with comprehensive connectivity and control options for live and studio work. Compared to its predecessor MADIface XT, the MADIface XT II features updated digital and analog circuitry and surpasses the first generation with significantly improved analog and digital performance.The MADIface XT was the world’s first USB 3.0 audio interface at the time of its release – and impressed with its combination of an extremely high channel count, comprehensive connectivity and a compact desktop housing. With two practical mic/line preamps (XLR/TRS combo inputs), two balanced XLR line outputs, a stereo line headphone output, a variety of digital signal options (MADI coaxial and optical, MIDI/AES, word clock), as well as an additional PCI Express connection, the MADIface XT left nothing to be desired in terms of connectivity.Main Features:2 x MADI optical I/O1 x MADI I/O coaxial2 x XLR Mic/Line2 x Analog I/O1 x Phones Output1 x Word Clock I/O1 x AES/EBU I/O1 x RME USB 3.04 x MIDI I/OTotalMix FXAutoSet Digital Gain ControlARC USBIncluding FXSteadyClock FSClass Compliant ModeSpecifications:AD, Microphone/Line 1-2Input: XLR, electronically balancedInput impedance @ 1 kHz: 3.3 kOhmSignal to Noise ratio (SNR): 116 dB (AES17), 118.5 dBAFrequency response @ 44.1 kHz, -0.1 dB: 5 Hz 20.8 kHzFrequency response @ 96 kHz, -0.5 dB: 3 Hz 45.2 kHzFrequency response @ 192 kHz, -1 dB: 2 Hz – 89 kHzFilter: Short Delay Sharp, 5 / 5 / 6 samples delayTHD: < -110 dB, < 0.00032 %THD+N: < -104 dB, < 0.00063 %Channel separation: > 110 dBGain range: 75 dBMaximum input level, Gain 0 dB: +18 dBuMaximum input level, Gain 75 dB: -57 dBuCLIP LED: 0 dBFSSIG LED: -60 dBFSAD, TRSAs Microphone/Line 1-2, but:Input: 6.3 mm TRS jack, balancedInput impedance: 6.6 kOhm balanced, 3.3 kOhm unbalancedMaximum input level TRS, Gain 0 dB: +24 dBuMaximum input level TRS, Gain 60 dB: -51 dBuDA, Line Out 1-2Dynamic range (DR): 113.5 dB (AES17), 116 dBAFrequency response @ 44.1 kHz, -0.1 dB: 0 Hz 20.2 kHzFrequency response @ 96 kHz, -0.5 dB: 0 Hz 44.7 kHzFrequency response @ 192 kHz, -1 dB: 0 Hz 78 kHz kHzFilter: Short Delay Sharp, 6 samples delayTHD+N @ -1 dBFS: -105 dB, 0.0005 %Channel separation: > 110 dBOutput: XLR balancedOutput level switchable +24 dBu, +19 dBu, +13 dBu, +4 dBuOutput impedance: 150 OhmDA, Phones 3/4As DA Line Out, but:Output: 6.3 mm TRS jack, unbalancedOutput impedance: 1 OhmOutput level at 0 dBFS: +7 dBuMADI Digital InputsCoaxial via BNC, 75 Ohm, according to AES10-1991High-sensitivity input stage (< 0.2 Vpp)Optical via FDDI duplex SC connector62.5/125 and 50/125 compatibleAccepts 56 channel and 64 channel mode, plus 96k FrameStandard: up to 64 channels 24 bit 48 kHzS/MUX: up to 32 channels 24 bit 96 kHzS/MUX4: up to 16 channels 24 bit 192 kHzLock range: 25 kHz 54 kHzJitter suppression: > 50 dB (> 315 Hz)AES/EBU Digital Inputs1 x XLR, transformer-balanced, galvanically isolated, according to AES3-1992High-sensitivity input stage (< 0.35 Vpp)SPDIF compatible (IEC 60958)Accepts Consumer and Professional formatLock range: 27 kHz 200 kHzJitter suppression: > 50 dB (> 315 Hz)Word ClockBNC, not terminated (4 kOhm)Switchable internal termination 75 OhmAutomatic Double/Quad Speed detection and conversion to Single SpeedSteadyClock guarantees super low jitter synchronization even in varispeed operationNot effected by DC-offsets within the networkSignal Adaptation Circuit: signal refresh through auto-center and hysteresisOvervoltage protectionLevel range: 1.2 Vss 5.6 VppLock range: 28 kHz 200 kHzJitter suppression: > 50 dB (> 315 Hz)MADI Digital OutputsCoaxial via BNC, 75 Ohm, according to AES10-1991Output voltage 450 mVppCable length: up to 100 mOptical via FDDI duplex SC connector62.5/125 and 50/125 compatibleCable length: up to 2000 mGenerates 56 channel and 64 channel mode, plus 96k FrameStandard: up to 64 channels 24 bit 48 kHzS/MUX / 96k Frame: up to 32 channels 24 bit 96 kHzS/MUX4: up to 16 channels 24 bit 192 kHzAES/EBU Digital OutputsXLR, transformer-balanced, galvanically isolated, according to AES3-1992Output level Professional 4.0 VppFormat Professional according to AES3-1992 Amendment 4Output level Consumer 2.0 VppFormat Consumer (SPDIF) according to IEC 60958Single Wire mode, sample rate 28 kHz up to 200 kHzWord ClockBNCMax. output voltage: 5 VppOutput voltage @ 75 Ohm termination: 4.0 VppOutput impedance: 22 OhmFrequency range: 28 kHz 200 kHzDigitalClocks: Internal, MADI In, Word Clock In, AES InJitter suppression of external clocks: > 50 dB (> 315 Hz)Effective clock jitter influence on AD and DA conversion: near zeroInput PLL ensures zero dropout, even at more than 100 ns jitterSupported sample rates: 28 kHz up to 200 kHzMIDI1 x MIDI I/O via breakout cable3 x MIDI I/O via MADISeparate 128 byte FIFO for input and outputMIDI state machine in hardware for reduced interrupt request loadInvisible transmission via User bit of channel 56 (up to 48 kHz)Invisible transmission via User bit of channel 28 (up to 96 kHz)GeneralPower supply: external power supplyTypical power consumption: 9 WattsCurrent at 12 Volt operating voltage, idle: 750 mA (9 Watts)Dimensions incl. rack ears, full depth (WxHxD): 265 x 44 x 159 mm (10.5″ x 1.73″ x 6.26″)Dimensions without rack ears, body depth (WxHxD): 215 x 44 x 130 mm (8.5″ x 1.73″ x 5.1″)Weight: 1.03 kg ( 2.2 lbs)Temperature range: +5 up to +50 Celsius (41 F up to 122F)Relative humidity: < 75%, non condensingIncluded power supply: Internal switching PSU, 100 - 240 V AC, 2 A, 24 Watts
