RME 12Mic-D Network-Ready Microphone Preamp with Dante, ADAT, and MADI

Share:

Add 12 channels of pristine mic/line inputs featuring 75 dB of gain to your networked audio system with the 12Mic-D from RME. Designed to conveniently integrate into modern digital workflows, the 1 RU rackmount preamp and analog to digital converter provides two RJ45 ports for Dante networking, three ADAT output, and a pair of coaxial MADI ports with an optical SFP option available. The 12 mic/line inputs are all on the front panel, with 8 XLR connectors and 4 TRS/XLR connectors that feature Hi-Z switches for instruments. Control the input gain and other settings from the buttons, knob, and color screen on the front panel, via a web interface network link, or wirelessly using Wi-Fi. A 1/4" jack on the front panel provides quick headphone monitoring. Any signal can be routed over a network with a fixed latency to ensure steady playback. RME's SteadyClock FS also ensures precise synchronization among elements, giving you a performance free from jitter, so your audio is as clear as it can be. The unit also features a redundant power supplies. Use the DC input and the IEC VAC input to ensure that accidental disconnection of either won't cause the 12Mic-D to shut off.

The PAD-free microphone input stages have a 75 dB gain range and accept signals of up to +18 dBu. On the converter side, the 12Mic-D shines with an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio on all channels. All twelve front-facing XLR connections accept microphone and line level signals, while the first four connections also accept TRS connectors, with switchable high-impedance (Hi-Z) for instruments.In addition to Dante, the 12Mic-D has two separate MADI ports, with coaxial built into the device as standard, and optical MADI available via an optional SFP module. along with three ADAT outputs and a line level headphone output for monitoring all incoming digital and analog signals. With the help of a routing matrix, any of the 12Mic-D’s 204 input channels can be individually routed to any of the 218 output channels. With an ever changing landscape of network audio solutions, the challenge for RME's development team was to design a highly performative device platform that will guarantee unparalleled flexibility and stability for years to come. To match these high requirements in accordance with RME's core principles everything was built from the ground up. By integrating Audinate's Dante IP Core on a custom built RME FPGA platform, RME is not only delivering a highly flexible solution but also helping you get one step closer to achieving a truly universal Audio Networking experience.
