RME / ADI-2 Pro FS

The RME/ADI-2 Pro is an AD/DA converter that supports playback and recording at sample rates up to 768kHz and DSD, and is a top-quality device that can also be used as a USB DAC, USB audio interface, and high-end headphone amplifier.

Its crystal-clear sound quality and unique user interface make it the ultimate tool for professional use in mastering studios, acoustic measurement systems, and audiophiles worldwide.
High-grade components are efficiently arranged in a half-rack-sized enclosure, thanks to a thoughtful, intelligent circuit configuration. RME's new plug-and-play concept allows the ADI-2 Pro to automatically switch between AD/DA converter, USB interface, and analog preamp modes based on the connected connectors. Of course, detailed configuration adjustments are also available as needed.

■Connections
High-end AD/DA converter
Two analog (line) inputs (XLR/TRS combo jacks)
Two analog outputs (XLR or TS)
Two ""Extreme Power"" headphone outputs
High-resolution IPS display
Auto Mode (automatic mode switching)
One USB2 (USB3 compatible)

■Format-free. Flexible Analog-to-Digital Conversion
Two analog inputs (line inputs) are servo-balanced XLR/TRS combo jacks, while two analog outputs support both XLR (balanced) and TS (unbalanced). The front-panel headphone port supports ""Extreme Power,"" allowing balanced drive using both ports. Digital options include SPDIF (also compatible with ADAT), optical, SPDIF coaxial (RCA terminals), AES/EBU (XLR terminals), and a USB port for PC playback and recording. Uncompromising, top-class sound quality and exceptional flexibility make it suitable for any situation.

■A New Dimension of Sound Quality
The ADI-2 Pro's internal high-precision sample rate converter and RME's latest SteadyClock III technology allow for plug-and-play connectivity without worrying about digital clock synchronization. Thanks to the latest AD/DA converters and RME's proprietary FPGA-based class-compliant core, the ADI-2 Pro supports AD (recording) and DA (playback) at PCM sample rates up to 768kHz and DSD256, delivering uncompromising, top-of-the-line sound for demanding professional applications such as mastering and acoustic measurement, as well as for use as a DA converter in listening audio systems.

■ ""Extreme Power"" Headphone Output (Balanced Drive)
The ADI-2 Pro's headphone output boasts even more attention than the main analog inputs and outputs. The newly designed headphone output features an output impedance of 0.1Ω, a maximum output level of +22dBu, and a maximum output power of 1.5W per channel. Like the main output, it boasts a S/N ratio of 120dB, enabling virtually noise-free monitoring. In response to the recent headphone boom, the headphone port also features ""Extreme Power"" specifications. The two headphone ports can monitor the same source or different sources, and each port features completely independent circuitry. It also supports balanced drive by using two headphone ports simultaneously.

■Further evolution of SteadyClock FS
SteadyClock is a unique clocking technology that achieves high clock accuracy and incredibly low jitter in numerous RME devices. It has earned high praise from professional users in a variety of settings, including recording and PA, and is an important technology for realizing RME's philosophy of ""uncolored, transparent sound."" Its level of perfection is so high that no major changes have been made to its basic design or performance from the first SteadyClock to SteadyClock III, a fact that is evidenced by the fact that playback is possible with the same sound quality whether using the internal clock or an external clock, and it is a technology that has earned praise for its long-standing track record in numerous RME devices.
