The RME 12Mic-D features twelve microphone and line inputs with digital, uncompromising studio-quality conversion, remote-controllable gain, integrated MADI and Dante connectivity, and a multitude of additional features designed for use in high-class studio recording, live sound, as well as on-location sound and music recording.
Features:
- Twelve microphone and line inputs with digital, uncompromising studio-quality conversion
- Microphone input stages without PAD have a gain range of 75 dB and accept signals up to +18 dBu
- Routing matrix: allows assigning all analog and digital inputs to any available outputs
- Control all device states directly from the front panel for convenient access to all functions
The 12Mic-D model matches the sound quality of the existing 12Mic model (with 128 AVB channels) and expands the range of professional network audio solutions in the M series.
Microphone input stages without PAD have a gain range of 75 dB and accept signals up to +18 dBu. From the converter side, the 12Mic boasts excellent signal-to-noise ratio on all channels. All twelve XLR connectors located on the front panel accept microphone and line level signals, with the first four connectors also accepting TRS connectors with switchable high impedance (Hi-Z) for instruments.
In addition to Dante, the 12Mic-D has two separate MADI ports - a coaxial port built into the device in the standard configuration, and an optical MADI port available through an additional SFP module. It also features three ADAT outputs and a linear level headphone output for monitoring all incoming digital and analog signals. Using the routing matrix, any of the 204 input channels on the 12Mic-D can be individually directed to any of the 218 output channels.
When connected to a Dante network, a combination of analog and digital channels can be distributed on the network as needed (for example, connected MADI devices). In turn, the 12Mic-D can receive up to 64 audio channels from the Dante network, which can be routed to headphones, ADAT, and two MADI connections as needed.
In the ever-evolving landscape of network audio solutions, the RME development team aimed to create a high-performance platform for devices that will provide unparalleled flexibility and stability for years to come. To meet these high demands in line with RME's core principles, everything was built from scratch. By integrating Audinate's Dante IP core into a specially created RME FPGA platform, RME not only offers a highly flexible solution but also gets one step closer to achieving a truly universal experience with audio networks.
Control all device states directly from the front panel for convenient access to all functions. RME network audio devices can also be fully remotely controlled via a web interface over any network channel (including wireless Wi-Fi), allowing for quick creation of gain groups, switching phantom power, and routing signals to headphones for monitoring.
The built-in routing matrix allows for quick routing of any analog inputs directly to the headphone output, as well as all digital signals. This makes solving issues with signals, synchronization, connections, and other problems simple and straightforward.
