27OctaMic II
T
he OctaMic II provides 8-Channel 192 kHz / 24 bit AD conversion with eight hi-class microphone and line pre-
amplification channels, featuring a combination of sophisticated components and approved RME technology.
Lowest distortion, excellent signal to noise ratio and perfectly linear frequency response transmit and amplify the
microphone signals truly unchanged.
OctaMic II offers 8 balanced XLR mic / line inputs via Neutrik XLR/TRS combo jacks. Each channel contains switches
for 48V phantom power, a low cut filter and phase reversal. Amplification can be set between 6 and 60 dB. LEDs
for signal, clip, and activated phantom power give a complete overview on the unit’s status. When the special Clip
Hold mode is activated, any detected clipping will cause the corresponding LED to flash once per second. With this,
the user gets a long-term peak detection, and no longer needs to constantly watch the LEDs. At the same time
momentary overloads are still displayed correctly. The balanced line level output signal is available at the back of
the unit via 8 stereo TRS jacks.
The specially developed, internal hi-performance switch mode power supply lets the OctaMic II operate in the
range of 100V to 240V AC. It´s short-circuit-proof, has an integrated line filter, is fully regulated against voltage
fluctuations, and suppresses mains interference. The 8-channel AD conversion of the OctaMic II operates at up to
192 kHz. The digitized signal is available simultaneously at the double ADAT output (S/MUX, up to 96 kHz), and
at a DB-25 connector (4 AES/EBU outputs, up to 192 kHz). The digital part can be clocked internally (master) and
externally via Word Clock, AES/EBU or SPDIF. RME’s outstanding SteadyClock
TM
ensures perfect AD conversion, as
jitter on the external sync sources is nearly completely removed.
All settings are done via DIP switches on the back. Analog outputs and both digital outputs operate fully
simultaneously. The choice of reference level affects the analog outputs only, the signal/clip indication and the AD
conversion will react only to the Gain pots.
