RME Audio, RME-AVBTOOL, Half-Rack MADI-AVB Converter with Outstanding Analog Connectivity
The RME AVB Tool combines MADI and deterministic AVB networked audio with four high-precision microphone, instrument and line-level inputs, plus headphone and separate line-level outputs. Following RME's concept of maximum versatility and connectivity, 128 channels of MADI I/O have been also added to this half rack 19" device. The AVB Tool is a pristine analog converter featuring the most commonly-found analog signals in a control room, recording studio or on stage: four XLR-TRS combo inputs, with remote-controllable 75 dB gain in 1 dB steps; an input line level sensitivity of +18 dBu, with switchable high impedance on every channel; a stereo headphone output; and two analog line-level outputs, with switchable +4/+19 dBu reference levels. Power is provided by an external power supply (with locking connector), and a K-slot lock port adds an additional level of security against theft. Seamless redundancy is accessible for all MADI signals, whenever the secondary MADI port is mirrored with the same signal as the coaxial MADI input. If redundancy is not required, the (optional) optical single- or multimode MADI module is treated as an individual MADI I/O with full bandwidth.
