PREMIUM LINE MADI / AES Technology .
What is MADI? MADI - Multichannel Audio Digital Interface - is the Pro Audio Industry One cable for all channels. MADI provides a convenient standard for multichannel audio. MADI is the perfect solution for the method of transmitting multiple audio channels more transmission of multiple digital audio channels, avoiding the technical problems of the standard multicore cables: too short, aging, high weight, stray pick-up, cable loss, cumbersome handling.

RME Technologies explained SteadyClock TM InstantMemory TM In digital audio, the clock frequency is an essential factor, as it creates the correlation between the audio bits and the time reference. Unfortunately, the All RME Premium Line units support InstantMemory, a feature that stores your setup automatically during instances of power blackout, or during clock frequency is not always as stable as desired.
MADI . Optical Fibres Requirements Terminology Singlemode transceivers are available on request for all units Single Speed and allow for an operation within existing singlemode networks, without additional expensive converters. Optical fibres have become a new standard. 44.1 kHz (CD), and 48 kHz (DAT). Double Speed Doubles the original sample rate range, in order to achieve higher audio quality and improved audio processing. 64 kHz is practically never used, 88.
