In a single desktop unit it covers AD\/DA conversion at studio reference level, dual headphone amplification, multi-format digital I\/O (AES, S\/PDIF, ADAT), DSD recording and direct DSD playback up to DSD 256 (11.2 MHz), and a measurement-grade frontend running up to 768 kHz PCM. The clock architecture and ultra-linear analog stages carry over unchanged — the same bedrock that made the ADI-2 Pro line a standard reference in mastering and acoustic measurement environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eHardware Protection Built for Production Reality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eChannel-independent DC protection means a fault in one channel cannot take out the other — and cannot damage connected speakers or headphones. The fuse-less active PSU protection circuit detects reverse polarity and overvoltage before they reach the electronics, a meaningful step up from passive fuse-based designs. The TS trigger output lets you sequence power to external amplifiers or monitors automatically, removing the manual on\/off ritual that protects speaker drivers. The lockable USB-C connector (USB 2.0, no bus power) with a 1.8 m cable included prevents accidental disconnection mid-session. The bundled NT-RME-13 power supply is semi-grounded to cut leakage current while avoiding ground loops — relevant in any studio with multiple grounded devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDual Headphone Monitoring and Measurement Frontend\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIncreased output power in both unbalanced and balanced mode means the ADI-2 Pro EX drives low-impedance IEMs and high-impedance planar headphones without clipping the output stage at usable listening levels. Two independent headphone outputs with separate EQ, crossfeed and level control allow a recording engineer and a musician to monitor entirely different mixes simultaneously from one box. The 768 kHz PCM ceiling makes it a capable frontend for acoustic measurement and transducer testing, replacing standalone measurement hardware in many workflows. Compatibility with the new RME RM19-III rackmount bracket integrates the unit into 19\" racks without adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAll-in-one: AD\/DA converter + USB audio interface + dual headphone amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePCM up to 768 kHz; DSD 64\/128\/256 recording and direct DSD playback (up to 11.2 MHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eChannel-independent DC protection — new dedicated hardware circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFuse-less active PSU protection against reverse polarity and overvoltage\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLockable USB-C connector (USB 2.0, no bus power) — 1.8 m cable included\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTS trigger output for synchronized power control of external gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncreased headphone output power in unbalanced and balanced mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDigital I\/O: AES\/EBU, S\/PDIF (coaxial and optical), ADAT\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRedesigned larger chassis with improved ventilation and chrome feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCompatible with RME RM19-III 19\" rackmount\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBundled NT-RME-13 power supply — semi-grounded, universal voltage\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eClass Compliant USB — driverless operation on macOS, iOS and Linux\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eType: reference AD\/DA converter with USB interface and dual headphone amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaximum PCM sample rate: 768 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDSD support: DSD 64 \/ 128 \/ 256 — record and direct playback (max. 11.2 MHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAnalog I\/O: 2x XLR balanced, 2x TRS jack balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHeadphone outputs: 2x independent (front: 6.3 mm jack; rear: 4-pin XLR or 6.3 mm jack)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDigital I\/O: AES\/EBU (XLR), S\/PDIF coaxial (RCA) and optical (TOSLINK), ADAT optical\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eUSB: USB 2.0, lockable USB-C connector, no bus power operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTrigger output: TS (3.5 mm jack) for synchronized external device power control\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHardware protection: per-channel DC protection, fuse-less active PSU protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePower supply: external; NT-RME-13 included (semi-grounded, universal voltage range)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOS compatibility: Windows, macOS, iOS, Linux (Class Compliant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncluded software: TotalMix FX\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRack compatibility: RME RM19-III (optional)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"RME","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53952069665105,"sku":"60216","price":1967.09,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/RME_ADI-2-Pro-EX_Front-Back.jpg?v=1780576409","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de\/products\/rme-adi-2-pro-ex","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
