RME OctaMic II

The OctaMic II features 8-channel 192 kHz / 24-bit conversion with eight high-quality microphone channels, equipped with the best components and proven RME technology. Lowest distortion, outstanding signal-to-noise ratio and linear frequency response transmit and amplify microphone signals absolutely unaltered and guarantee an unaltered sound.

The balanced jack inputs of the Neutrik Combo XLR jack are phantom-free and now fully-fledged line inputs. The revised input stages offer a maximum input level of +21 dBu and a wide control range from 6 dB up to 60 dB gain.

Features:

• Further improved THD values especially at high gain values
• Optimized heat dissipation due to a larger housing with improved convection
• Extremely stable and short-circuit proof 48 Volt phantom voltage
• Internal wide-range power supply with line filter, insensitive to voltage fluctuations
• 8 x Mic / Line Preamp Input (XLR/jack combo jack)
• 8 x Line Output (TRS balanced)
• 8-way AD converter (up to 192 kHz)
• 2 x ADAT output (S/Mux, up to 96 kHz)
• 4 x AES/EBU output (D-Sub, up to 192 kHz)
• 1 x AES/SPDIF Sync Input
• Phase, low cut and phantom power per channel
• Clip Hold Memory
