RME DIGIFACE AES 24 Bit/192 kHz Digital USB Interface with AES/SPDIF/ADAT/Analog I/O

Discover the RME Digiface AES: The Ultimate Digital USB Interface
The RME Digiface AES is a cutting-edge digital USB interface that brings exceptional versatility and high-quality sound to your studio setup. As a bus-powered device, it offers 14 inputs and 16 output channels, including two universal analog Mic/Line input channels and four analog output channels (two XLR and one TRS for phones). This professional unit is ideal for recording and playback of both digital and analog sources, making it an all-in-one solution for your audio needs.

Premium Analog Input Quality
For the primary inputs, the Digiface AES utilizes the proven mic/line preamps found in the Babyface Pro FS, featuring XLR combo configurations. These preamps are digitally controlled, offering up to 75 dB of gain, adjustable in 1 dB steps. Each preamp has switchable 48V phantom power, a relay-driven PAD, and exceptional EIN performance, ensuring crystal-clear recordings and robust line overload protection. This setup provides ample gain for even the most sensitive microphones, making it perfect for professional recording environments.

Comprehensive Digital I/O Connectivity
The Digiface AES shines in its digital connectivity, equipped with an AES/EBU input and output via XLR, SPDIF coaxial, SPDIF optical, and 8-channel ADAT inputs/outputs. All these interfaces can be used simultaneously, transforming the Digiface AES into a versatile digital audio hub that can handle all common formats. An onboard Sample Rate Converter (SRC) can be applied to any of the three inputs, ensuring perfect synchronization and flexibility across different audio formats.

Stand-Alone Operation and Easy Control
This interface isn't just powerful—it's also designed for ease of use. You can access and control all features directly from the front panel, thanks to four keys, an encoder, and a high-resolution color display. The intuitive menu structure allows for quick changes and easy configuration, making the Digiface AES straightforward to use even in complex setups.

Robust Output and Monitoring Options
The two balanced analog outputs via XLR male connectors are perfect for driving power amps, active monitors, or recording devices. Additionally, the independent headphone output provides high-quality monitoring with enough output power to support both high and low impedance headphones, ensuring accurate sound reproduction for critical listening and mixing tasks.
