12-Channel, digitally controlled High-End Mic Preamp with integrated MADI and AVB, 19" 1RU
RME’s first preamp for audio networks
The RME 12Mic features twelve microphone and line
level inputs with digital, no-compromise, studio-quality
conversion; remote controllable gains; integrated MADI
and AVB connectivity; plus a multitude of additional
functionality, designed to make it the perfect companion
for any professional recording setup.
Twelve transparent mic preamps for
exceptional conversion performance
The PAD-free microphone input stages have a 75 dB
gain range and accept signals of up to +18 dBu. On the
conversion side, the extraordinary SNR values show an astonishing 121.2 dB(A) on all channels. All twelve front-facing
XLR connections accept microphone and line level signals,
whilst the first four connections also accept TRS connectors,
with switchable high impedance (Hi-Z) for instruments.
MADI & ADAT for maximum flexibility
Both coaxial and optical (via an SFP module) MADI I/O is
available for independent or redundant operation, and can
be used for daisy chaining, merging and converting MADI
signals at incredibly low latency.
Three optical ADAT outputs provide up to 24 channels of
audio at single speed (for example, a combination of microphone inputs, MADI signals and AVB signals), or 12 output
channels at 96 kHz sampling rate, ensuring compatibility
with a wide range of audio interfaces. Additionally, the ADAT
ports can also be used to send monitor mixes from the AVB
or MADI inputs to existing DACs/headphone amps.
Two fully redundant network ports
For the first time, RME offers an AVB device with two
fully redundant network ports, based on the
recommendations of MILAN. The RME AVB Core has
meticulously implemented the IEEE standards for
audio-streaming, discovery and control, allowing RME
devices to be both discovered and fully controlled by
any AVB controller, and making vendor-specific control
protocols a thing of the past.
Any signal reaching the 12Mic can be routed and
streamed over a network with fixed latency and guaranteed bandwidth - no switch configuration is required!
