RME DMC-842

The DMC-842 is both an 8-Channels AES42 interface as well as a controller for digital microphones. The unique device allows for connection and control of up to 8 digital microphones, and converting their signals to ADAT, AES/EBU, analog and (optional) MADI. Eight individually switchable hi-end sample rate converters offer a flexible clocking and further usage options, especially as the inputs are compatible to AES3 and AES/EBU too. When developing the DMC-842, RME worked closely with the microphone manufacturers to secure maximum compatibility and best functionality. As a result the DMC-842 is the most flexible and most compatible AES42 interface available - a true milestone for the broad acceptance of the new digital microphone technology. The DMC-842 is fully remote controllable, via MIDI, AES and (optional) MADI. The optional I64 MADI Card provides serial pass-through capability from one DMC-842 to the next (up to 8). All up to 64 audio signals are then available at the last device on one single line. Such a way of cascading is also possible with the Micstasy and the ADI-8 QS. The signals passed through the DMC-842 are available at the analog outputs, making an expensive splitter box on stage obsolete.Overview of the DMC-842's most important features:Fully compatible to AES428 XLR AES42 inputs (AES3 compatible)8 balanced XLR Line outputs24 bit sample rate conversion switchable per inputDigital Phantom Power switchable per inputSupports Mode 1 and Mode 263 dB gain range per channel, even in asynchronous Mode 1LED level meter with 13 LEDs per channelM/S de-/encoding4 x AES/EBU Out via D-sub, 8 channels @ 192 kHz2 x ADAT Out, 8 channels @ 96 kHzOptional MADI I/O (I64 MADI Card) with serial cascading and digital/analog return pathMIDI I/OFully remote controllableFuture-proof by flash updates Power Supply: 240V Made in: Germany UK/EU Power supply included: Yes
