RME M-1610 Pro

With 16 analog inputs including switchable sensitivity of up to +24 dBu per channel, eight dedicated analog outputs and an additional headphone output, the M-1610 Pro adds flexible analog I/O options to any studio setup. In combination with the coaxial and (optional) optical MADI connectors, four optical ADAT outputs and redundant DC-coupled outputs, the unit presents itself as one of the most versatile and powerful converters on the market.

Based on numerous requests from recording engineers who have to handle a large number of analog effects and instruments in their sessions, RME combines the exceptional performance of the M-32 Pro AD and DA converters in a single, unbeatably affordable unit.

While the M-32 Pro series was primarily designed for use in fixed installations, the M-1610 Pro offers a range of additional features that address seamless operation in studio, live and broadcast environments.

Thus, the TRS inputs and outputs offer an alternative connection to the D-Sub inputs (input 11-16) and D-Sub outputs (output 1-2). Furthermore, redundant network connections, a headphone output for monitoring and problem solving purposes and buttons for quick access to source selection and volume are available.

The internal routing matrix allows visual control of all channels in parallel arrangement - including up to eight AVB streams (128 channels in total), the coaxial and (optional) optical MADI ports (each with up to 64 channels), all analog inputs and outputs, and the ADAT outputs for flexible routing of up to 272 inputs and 298 outputs.

With ultra-low conversion latencies and deterministic AVB network transmission including configurable network delay down to 0.3 ms, the M-1610 Pro ensures sampling - even across multiple devices - at outstanding speed, time-synchronized in nanoseconds across the entire network.

The AD and DA filters are optimized for different sampling rates and convince with highest precision and the usual RME transparency (nothing added, nothing taken away). In combination with SteadyClock FS, RME's ultra-low digital jitter clock technology, the conversion from and to analog presents itself on the highest level - at any level and across all digital formats. Thus, unlike comparable devices, the three analog line levels of the M-1610 Pro work with the same conversion dynamic range.

All device statuses can be controlled directly via the front panel by means of rotary encoders and several buttons and offer convenient and direct access to all functions. In addition, RME AVB devices can be comprehensively remote controlled via a web interface or any network connection (incl. W-LAN), allowing for quick creation of gain groups, activating/deactivating phantom power, and routing signals to the headphone output for monitoring purposes.

The integrated routing matrix allows fast routing of any analog input - as well as all digital signals and AVB streams - directly to the headphone output. This makes it easy and efficient to solve signal, clocking, connection or other problems.

For digital audio, timing, often called "clocking", is of crucial importance. It is the reference for the sequence of audio bits. Unfortunately this reference clock is often not as stable as it should be in theory. Therefore the 12Mic offers full SteadyClock FS support for lowest jitter and highest jitter immunity.

This guarantees excellent performance in all clock modes and high-quality analog conversion so you can hear your mix as it actually sounds. The digital format conversion in RME products is done without loss or degradation, and SteadyClock FS ensures that a precise sound image is always output without degradation. This helps to optimize recordings and mixes, because it gives the sound spectrum more depth and clarity overall.
