RME Launches New M-32 Pro AVB Range Of Channel Converters

RME has launched its new M-32 Pro AVB series of high-end 32-channel 192 kHz AD and DA converters.

AVB - The Future of Audio Networking
In addition to the two fully equipped MADI I/O's including separate signal routing, the new M-32 Pro AD and M-32 Pro DA feature an AVB interface based on the open network standards IEEE 802.1 and 1722.1, enabling transmission of the 32 analogue channels at a maximum 192 kHz via a single Ethernet cable. Combined with external AVB switches, the new M-Series converters can be quickly, easily and reliably integrated into more complex network structures thanks to the comprehensive time-synchronous signal processing of the AVB protocol.

Reference Class Converters
Based on high-resolution converter components and a fully balanced analogue circuit design, the new RME M-32 Pro series offers a signal-to-noise ratio of 120 dB(A) with extremely low THD values, which places the converters in the reference class.

Everything at a Glance
The combination of level displays and channel labelling fields conveys a familiar analogue feeling. Using the supplied transparencies, users can create individual channel labels and securely affix them behind a magnetic cover. This always gives a comprehensive overview of analogue channel assignments. 
                                
Smaller is Better
Unlike its 2u predecessor, the new RME M-32 Pro AVB AD and DA comes in a compact 1u box with 2 fully redundant power supplies. Wordclock I/O (BNC) and a USB 2.0 for remote control are also present and there is also the option of MIDI I/O for legacy MIDI remote control.

The RME M-32 Pro AVB AD and DA are due to ship at the end of this summer.
