It utilizes MADI (Multi-channel Audio Digital Interface) technology, which allows up to 64 channels of audio to flow freely without the shortcomings of multi-core cable-based digital audio technology. Not only does the M-16 AD provide pristine audio circuitry, the great converters, and RME's famous SteadyClock technology, but the MADI protocol also enables incredibly long cable runs of over 1 mile (2000 meters)!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn order to put the M-16 AD to use, you need to have a computer with either an internal RME MADI card (such as the HDSP MADI), or an external RME MADI interface (like the HDSPe MADIface). If you're setting up a system where you'll need MADI D\/A conversion on the other end, you can use the 16-channel M-16 DA or the 32-channel M-32 DA.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe additional MADI port on the rear of the M-16 AD facilitates stacking multiple units together, which makes it possible to take advantage of the full 64-channels that this system is capable of delivering. With that magnitude of power, combined with the ability to send these signals great distances, makes this system a powerful tool for a wide range of professional applications. Live location recording, recording studio facilities, and installed systems in stadiums and theaters can all benefit from the excellent caliber of sound quality that RME is known for and that the M-16 AD will provide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of RME's M-Series of converters, the M-16 AD \u0026amp; DA are high-end, professional 16 channel AD and DA converters featuring both MADI and ADAT connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-channel A\/D converter, symmetrically designed in a 2 rack-space enclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUtilizes MADI (Multi-channel Audio Digital Interface) technology which allows up to 64 channels of audio to flow freely without the shortcomings of multi-core cable-based digital audio technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital audio protocol enables cable runs of up 1.25 miles (2000 meters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully MIDI controllable by sending MIDI messages over the MADI connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuring power on and power off, all noise is suppressed in the analog section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZero delay compensation is necessary when stacking multiple units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 6-segment LED meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs 16 x 1\/4\" TRS Jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x 25-Pin D-Sub Servo Balanced Input Connectors, Completely Symmetrical Audio Path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs 4 x ADAT Optical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x MADI Optical and Coaxial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal to Noise Ratio 113 dB RMS Unweighted, 116 dBA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion (THD) \u0026lt; -110 dB (\u0026lt; 0.00032 %)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD + Noise \u0026lt; -104 dB (\u0026lt; 0.00063 %)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrosstalk \u0026gt; 130 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response -0.1 dB: 10 Hz - 23.2 kHz (sf 48 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-0.5 dB: \u0026lt; 5 Hz - 45 kHz (sf 96 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-1 dB: \u0026lt; 5 Hz - 80 kHz (sf 192 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSample Rates 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz, Variable (Sync\/WC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJitter Typical \u0026lt; 1 ns for internal, Word Clock, ADAT and MADI input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Supply Internal Switching, 100V - 240V AC, 40 Watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions 19 x 3.5 x 7.8\" (483 x 88 x 200 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight Not Specified By Manufacturer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RME","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45485647069263,"sku":"M-16 AD","price":5890.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/9466\/9382\/files\/ACCLAIMRMEM16ADIMG1.jpg?v=1780675695","url":"https:\/\/shop.musicredone.com\/products\/rme-m-16-ad-16-channel-high-end-analog-to-madi-adat-converter","provider":"RedOne Music Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
