16 Input / 8 Output High-End MADI/AVB/ADAT to Analog converter, 19" 1RU
Router, mic preamp,
MADI AVB converter and more
The RME AVB Tool combines MADI and deterministic
AVB networked audio with four high-precision
microphone, instrument and line level inputs, plus
headphone and separate line level outputs. Following
RME’s concept of maximum versatility and connectivity,
128 channels of MADI I/O have been also added to this
half rack 19” device.
High-grade quality analog inputs
The AVB Tool is a pristine analog converter featuring the
most commonly-found analog signals in a control room,
recording studio or on stage: four XLR-TRS combo inputs,
with remote controllable 75 dB gain in 1 dB steps; an
input line level sensitivity of +18 dBu, with switchable
high impedance on every channel; a stereo headphone
output; and two analog line level outputs, with switchable +4/+19 dBu reference levels.
Power is provided by an external power supply (with
locking connector), and a K-slot lock port adds an
additional level of security against theft.
Seamless redundancy is available for all MADI signals,
whenever the secondary MADI port is mirrored with the
same signal as the coaxial MADI input. If redundancy is
not required, the (optional) optical single- or multimode
MADI module is treated as an individual MADI I/O with
full bandwidth.
8-Stream Gigabit AVB
On the AVB side, the number of streams available in the
RME AVB core have been doubled to eight streams in
AM824 (legacy AVB) or high-performance AAF (MILAN
compatible) format - with configurable size and format
per stream. Up to 128 audio channels can be sent and
received over AVB in total across all streams.
The AVB Tool has the same input stages as the first four
channels of the 12Mic – successfully combining the
components found in the Fireface UFX II and UFX+ into
a new AD converter, extended with switchable High
Impedance, balanced line level on the TRS, and two
balanced line level outputs at the rear for monitoring
