RME Digi96/8 PAD

DIGI96/8 is the perfect digital audio interface for your Mac or PC. It offers both a 2-channel (SPDIF and AES/EBU) and 8-channel interface (ADAT® optical.) Enhanced Full Duplex and Master mode allow a combined operation in SPDIF and ADAT® format.

RME's unique Bitclock PLL has become reference. Whatever you do with your ADAT®: DIGI96/8 stays locked and will not loose a sample! Professionals will enjoy to change the Emphasis bit, and play back encoded AC-3 streams that are compatible to every AC-3 decoder by setting the Non-Audio bit.

The optional Expansion Boards (EXB) turn the DIGI96/8 into a fully analog version, with 4 or 8 analog inputs and outputs in exceptional quality. The optional Word Clock Module (WCM) adds word clock input and output, a unique test and 'house clock' mode. And our latest TDIF Expansion (TEB) lets you use the card as TDIF interface as well.

Last but not least: The DIGI96 series includes DIGICheck, the ultimate measurement, analysis and test tool!

The DIGI96 series offers drivers for Windows 95/98 (MME, multi-DirectSound, ASIO 2.0, GSIF, DS/MME/ASIO/GSIF multi-client operation), Windows NT (MME with multi-client operation, ASIO 2.0), Windows 2000/XP (MME, ASIO 2.0, GSIF, MME/ASIO/GSIF multi-client operation), MacOS (Sound Manager and ASIO 2.0) and Linux (OSS and ALSA.)

Just click on the DIGI symbol in the systray of the taskbar and the settings dialog of the DIGI96/8 comes up. The clear structured, easy to understand window plus the unique informative status displays for input and output make your work with the DIGI96/8 to a real pleasure. With a simple mouse click (or a freely configurable key shortcut) you gain access to the full power of your card.

RME's Settings dialog shows installed and active DIGI96® series' cards, according to their numbering in the system. Therefore even in multicard usage you'll always know which wave device belongs to which card.
