RME / HDSPe MADI

Audio Interface

The HDSPe MADI is based on the award-winning HDSP MADI card and has been developed as the ultimate multi-channel audio interface that supports the latest PCI Express.

With 64 channels of 24-bit audio at 48 kHz, 32 channels at 96 kHz, and 16 channels at 192 kHz, the HDSPe MADI makes the most of the benefits of MADI, a professional-grade multi-channel audio standard. Furthermore, with its highly reliable RME drivers, DSP technology, and jitter suppression technology, it boasts the highest specifications, stability, and sound quality in the industry.

By using three HDSPe MADI cards simultaneously, it is possible to use 192 channels of input and 192 channels of output at the same time with a single powerful workstation.
