The RMEADI-2 is a both compact and extremely flexible 2-channel Hi-EndAD/DA-converter. The small 9.5" RME ADI-2 offers top notch AD/DA-conversionfrom/to SPDIF, AES and ADAT, at up to 192 kHz. Its ability to use SPDIF, AESand ADAT format provides outstanding compatibility.

Balancedinputs and outputs

TheADI-2 is equipped with a balanced stereo line input via two Neutrik XLR/phonescombo jacks, a balanced stereo line output with XLR plus separate andsimultaneously active phone jacks, as well as an adjustable headphone output.

SteadyClock

Theanalog inputs and outputs use the same circuit design as RME's famous ADI-8,guaranteeing outstandingly low noise and distortion. Three different settingsfor the input and output levels each provide perfect compatibility on analogdomain. A further highlight is SteadyClock, a proprietary clock technology formaximum jitter suppression. SteadyClock guarantees superb sound qualitycompletely independent from the quality of the current reference clock. TheADI-2 uses the latest generation of AD/DA-converters capable of up to 192 kHzsampling frequency at a S/N ratio of 110 dB.

DigitalConnectivity

The RMEADI-2 has more to offer than tremendous sound, it also gives you excitingdigital connectivity. The RME ADI-2's transformer-balanced coaxial (RCA) SPDIFI/O has switchable Channel Status to make it fully AES/EBU compatible. Theoptical TOSLINK I/Os can handle up to 192 kHz and also serve as ADAT I/Os withup to 96 kHz sample rate. You can even use the RME ADI-2's SPDIF input and ADAToutput or vice versa in AD/DA mode.

ClearLayout and Distinct Labeling

Theclear layout and the distinct labeling of the RME ADI-2's front panel with itsfunctional buttons, the informative status displays, a six-LED level meter aswell as the tidy functional back panel make the RME ADI-2 easy to operate theADI-2 right out of the box. Protective rack handles and a strain-relief forpower cord and audio cables are further useful details that make the ADI-2 evenmore unique.

WideRange Of Power

Followingthe 'Universal Power Supply' philosophy of RME's Digiface, Multiface, QuadMicand OctaMic, the ADI-2 comes with an external switching power supply. Itsadditional internal switching power supply has been specially designed andoptimized for audio applications. It accepts any voltage from 7 to 30 V, be itAC or DC, and even runs on batteries and rechargeable batteries.
