RME / HDSPe MADI

■Audio Interface

Based on the award-winning HDSP MADI card, the HDSPe MADI is the ultimate multi-channel audio interface compatible with the latest PCI Express standards.

Capable of transmitting 64 channels of 24-bit audio at 48kHz, 32 channels at 96kHz, or 16 channels at 192kHz over a single cable, the HDSPe MADI takes full advantage of the professional multi-channel audio standard MADI. Furthermore, thanks to its reliable RME drivers, DSP technology, and jitter suppression technology, it boasts the industry's highest specifications, stability, and sound quality.

By using three HDSPe MADI cards simultaneously, you can simultaneously use 192 channels of input and 192 channels of output on a single powerful workstation.
