RME ADI 8 QS

RME's ADI-8 QS is an 8-channel high-end AD/DA converter with unrivalled features. The device combines excellent analog circuitry with the latest generation of outstanding low latency AD/DA converters and, in combination with the integrated SteadyClock, offers AD and DA conversion at the very highest level.

Analog and digital limiters, four hardware reference levels up to +24 dBu, AES/EBU and ADAT I/O (optional MADI I/O) up to 192 kHz, remote control via MIDI, digital input and output trimming for full level calibration, volume adjustment overall and overall relative for all 8 analog outputs, digital loop-through mode, operation over a wide mains voltage range and many other features make the QS unique. The ADI-8 QS is RME's reference - maximum performance in every detail, with an unsurpassed price/performance ratio!
