RME MADIface XT II

RME presents the MADIface XT II a 394-channel 192 kHz USB 3.0 audio interface with comprehensive connectivity and control options for live and studio work. Compared to its predecessor MADIface XT, the MADIface XTII features updated digital and analog circuitry and surpasses the first generation with significantly improved analog and digital performance.

The MADIface XT was the world's first USB 3.0 audio interface at the time of its release - and impressed with its combination of an extremely high channel count, comprehensive connectivity and a compact desktop housing. With two practical mic/line preamps (XLR/TRS combo inputs), two balanced XLR line outputs, a stereo line headphone output, a variety of digital signal options (MADI coaxial and optical, MIDI/AES, word clock), as well as an additional PCI Express connection, the MADIface XT left nothing to be desired in terms of connectivity.

The successor MADIface XT II maintains this successful formula and surpasses the signal values of its predecessor in numerous areas. Among other things, the MADIface XT II convinces with a higher signal-to-noise ratio and a lower THD value during AD conversion.

Furthermore, the maximum balanced line output level of the XLR line outputs has been increased from +15 dBu to +24 dBu. The stereo headphone output of the MADIface XT2 also delivers a significantly higher output level of +19 dBu and, with an output impedance of 1 Ohm, significantly more power than its predecessor. All outputs also have several switchable level options.

On the new digital board, the previous analog mini-DIN socket for remote control of individual functions has been replaced by an ARC USB remote port, which enables comprehensive control of the MADIface XT II with the optional ARC USB. The MADIface XT II also offers the Room EQ known from the Fireface UFX III with nine parametric bands for use in surround setups for up to 20 mono output channels.

The MADIface XT II comes with the TotalMix FX DSP mixer offering comprehensive routing and monitoring options, as well as the DigiCheck Analyzer allowing to measure and analyze the digital data feed in both directions with maximum precision. TotalMix FX can completely replace an external mixer, enabling the creation of multiple latency-free monitor mixes with EQ, Dynamics, Reverb and Delay for any outputs, incl. main monitors and headphone mixes for musicians.

The additional TotalMix Remote is a remote control for TotalMix FX, to control the hardware mixer and effects in RME audio interfaces. TotalMix Remote mirrors the current state of the host system on the iPad and Windows/Mac computers - the entire mixing state, the complete routing, all FX settings, up to the level meters, and everything in real-time. Easily adjust all the mixer and FX settings from a distance, via Ethernet and WiFi.
