RME / HDSPe MADI FX

■ Audio interface

HDSPe MADI FX is equipped with 3 MADI I/Os (optical x 2, coaxial x 1), AES/EBU x 1, analog monitoring output x 1 for a total of 390 channels of input/output. Plus, with the addition of word clock and four MIDI I/Os, you've condensed complete technology and connectivity into a small space.
The 192 kHz RME effects engine handles TotalMix FX EQ, compressor, reverb, and echo on the card's hardware, and is latency-free independent of your DAW.
