RME HDSPe AES 32-Channel AES/EBU PCI Express Card with 24 Bit/192 kHz

The RME HDSPe AES-32 is a professional-grade AES/EBU PCI Express audio interface designed for high-channel-count digital audio applications. Ideal for environments such as broadcast studios, live sound reinforcement, and high-end recording studios, it offers robust connectivity and advanced features.

FEATURES

• Features a word clock I/O and a 25-pin D-sub connector, providing four AES inputs and four AES outputs via standard digital breakout cable (Tascam pinout)
• Designed with an intuitive and laid-out user interface for enhanced user accessibility
• The DSP-based TotalMix mixer enables the AES to route and mix all 16 inputs and 16 playback channels to all 16 physical outputs freely, offering extraordinary monitoring capabilities
• The card will immediately activate the last used sampling rate, master configuration, and AES format, eliminating any startup noise or problems in the clock network
• All units can be programmed with their ID, allowing independent remote control of multiple devices via a single MIDI channel
