DISC RME HDSPe RayDAT PCIE Audio Interface

Full Description

With no less than 4 ADAT optical I/O, SPDIF I/O and AES/EBU I/O you have a massive 36 channels on inputs and outputs at your disposal. On top, there are 2 MIDI I/Os and TotalMix, RME's unsurpassed DSP-based real-time mixer/router with hardware calculated level metering and complete MIDI remote capability.

SPDIF (phono) and AES/EBU (XLR) are simultaneously operational due to separated hardware and record/playback devices. Internal ADAT inputs and outputs allow to add up to two TDIF ports directly inside the computer via RME's optional expansion boards.

As a PCI Express card a genuine PCI Express core takes full advantage of the new format with significant performance gains in multitrack audio. RME's secure flash update technology means that firmware improvements, adjustments and fixes can be installed easily at anytime.

Easy Access

Simply click the hammer symbol in the systray of the taskbar and the full settings for the HDSPe RayDAT will appear. The clear, structured and easy to understand window gives you all the information you need. With a single click you can access the card's full power.

SyncCheck

Multiple digital sources need to be locked and synchronized to prevent drops outs or crackling. RME's exclusive SynCheck keeps an eye on all input signals and helps to find errors immediately.
