RME HDSPE AoX-D (Dante) PCI Express Card

RME HDSPe AoX-D (Dante)
The RME HDSPe AoX cards once again set the reference for high performance audio interfaces. Available as a Dante® version with 512 x 512 channels and as a Milan® version with 128 x 128 channels, these cards leverage RME’s renowned driver architecture to bring high channel counts to any DAW – along with a 256-channel TotalMix™ engine, RME’s FPGA-based super low latency hardware mixer.

Occupying only a single slot, the PCIe x4 interface transmits and receives up to 512 channels of network audio signals on two separate gigabit Ethernet ports. The network audio channels can partially be replaced (or extended in case of the Milan® version) with MADI signals by adding up to two optional dual optical SFP or dual coaxial extension cards.

It is therefore possible to integrate four MADI input signals, four MADI output signals plus up to 256 network audio channels per direction within a single audio interface for the first time – on macOS® and Windows®.

In comparison to these massive channel counts, the ¼” stereo headphone jack occupies a lot of space on the card – and for good reason, because it allows engineers to monitor any signal reaching the card: from the computer, the network, or the optional MADI inputs.

And to add one more signal to the mix – a stereo AES3 digital I/O is available together with MIDI on a breakout cable, making it a versatile and full-fledged professional interface.

A word clock input/output port is available on the MADI option cards.
