RME Digiface AES – professional, bus-powered USB 2.0 audio interface with 14 inputs and 16 outputs, supporting up to 192 kHz. Equipped with 2 analog Mic/Line input channels and 4 analog output channels, including 2 XLR outputs and 1 TRS headphone output. Offers comprehensive digital connectivity: AES/EBU, coaxial and optical SPDIF, and 8-channel ADAT, all usable simultaneously. Features SteadyClock FS for superior clocking, full stand-alone operation, and built-in parametric EQ, ideal for recording and playback of both digital and analog sources. Includes TotalMix FX for flexible mixing and monitoring, MIDI support, and TotalMix Remote for iOS, PC, or Mac. Uses proven Mic/Line preamps from the Babyface Pro FS, offering a 75 dB gain range, individually switchable 48V phantom power, and exceptional EIN performance. The rear panel includes balanced XLR outputs for driving power amps or active monitors, and a headphone output for independent high-quality monitoring. An integrated Sample Rate Converter (SRC) helps resolve clocking issues, and MIDI I/O is provided via an included breakout cable. The front panel allows direct access to features with four keys, an encoder, and a high-resolution color display, with six device setups storable in internal memory for quick configuration changes, especially useful in stand-alone mode.
