Handle high channel counts over long distances effortlessly

Long story short, the RME MADIface USB lets you run digital audio over vast distances with rock-solid reliability. Depending on the sample rate you're using, you can have up to 64 simultaneous record and playback channels. It's perfect for larger recording studios, where the recording space may not be adjacent to the control room. Put a MADI A/D converter in the recording room, run a single MADI optical cable to your control room, and use the MADIface USB to capture up to 64 channels of audio on your Mac or PC.

TotalMix FX mixer gives you powerful control over large track counts

While the compact MADIface USB is about as simple and elegant as it gets, you've got incredible control over inputs, outputs, mix levels, and more from RME's TotalMix FX software mixer. Not only do you have unlimited routing of inputs and outputs, you can also split and distribute signals to multiple outputs at a time. You even have peak and RMS level metering, which is crucial for managing the gain levels of large numbers of tracks.

Use it standalone as a powerful MADI repeater or format converter

While the MADIface USB is a very convenient way to get high track counts in and out of your computer, it's fully capable without a computer as well. If you really need distance, you can use the MADIface USB as a MADI repeater between MADI-equipped converters. If you need to convert between MADI optical and coaxial formats, the MADIface USB has you covered there too.
