RME Audio M-1620 Pro D

The RME M-1620 Pro D converts 16 analog line-level signals (switchable per channel up to +24 dBu) to and from MADI, ADAT, and Dante network technology. This innovative device features a newly developed front panel that combines LED level meters with a display and offers two separate headphone outputs for monitoring—all in a 19-inch rack with just one height unit. State-of-the-art converters and flexible internal routing make it a leader in any audio network. RME places great importance on reliability and equips the M-1620 Pro D with built-in redundancy. This includes two network and two MADI connections, as well as a monitored DC input in addition to the internal AC power supply. A unique system clearly signals when a problem occurs, ensuring smooth operation. Thanks to its complete stand-alone capability, users can adjust device settings directly on the unit for quick changes or to recall entire custom presets. At the request of many, the M-1620 Pro D offers 64-channel Dante connectivity, allowing direct connections to other audio devices via standard Ethernet switches. When redundancy is not required, the device can also function as a switch, enabling the chaining of multiple Dante devices. With Audinate's Dante Virtual Soundcard™ (license not included), users can record and playback up to 64 channels of the M-1620's analog and digital inputs and outputs on their computer.
