RME's M-16 AD is a 16-channel high-end AD converter, easy to operate yet having a comprehensive feature set. The unit combines excellent analog circuit design with the latest converter chips and RME's superior SteadyClock, resulting in a state-of-the-art AD conversion - 16 times! The unit's unique set of features includes analog limiters, three hardware reference levels up to +24 dBu, MADI and ADAT I/O up to 192 kHz, 6.3 mm TRS and D-sub inputs, remote control via MIDI, and operation across a wide range of mains voltages, all packed into a 2U enclosure. An extraordinary limiter, conceived and optimised for professional studio, stage, and broadcast applications, offers essential operational safety with its capability to limit an input's overload of up to 17 dB without audible distortion (max. input level + 30 dBu). The M-16 provides multichannel conversion in reference quality - at an unbeatable price/performance ratio!Highlights16-channel* AD converter, fully symmetrical design, 116 dBA19"" enclosure with only 2 units height1 x MADI I/O, 32 chanels @ 96 kHz, 16 channels @ 192 kHz4 x ADAT Out, 16 channels @ 96 kHz, 8 channels @ 192 kHzZero Delay MADI I/O: no delay compensation necessary when stacking unitsAnalog limiter can be activated16 LED level meters with 5 LEDs each16 LEDs to display the Limiter state per channelSteadyClock(TM) - prestine sound quality independently from the quality of the external clock signalSyncCheck® - unique technology to check clock synchronizationAll settings are stored permanentlyFully remote controllable via MIDI and MIDI over MADIno fanlower power consumption, 40 Watts
