RME M-32 Pro DA II

The RME M-1620 Pro DA is a 20-channel digital-to-analog converter that brings pristine, reference-grade sound from MADI, ADAT, and Milan AVB network audio into the analog domain. Equipped with 16 balanced line outputs (individually switchable up to +24 dBu) plus two independent stereo headphone outputs, it's an ideal hub for professional live sound monitoring, broadcast playback, and high-end studio workflows.

Built into a rugged 1U chassis, the M-1620 Pro DA offers dual redundant network and MADI connections, optional optical MADI via SFP, and a monitored DC input alongside the internal AC power supply for mission-critical reliability. RME's SteadyClock FS ensures ultra-low jitter, while the onboard routing matrix allows direct channel mapping from any digital source to the analog outputs or headphones. Full control is possible from the front panel, via web interface, or over USB, making it equally suited for standalone operation or deep integration into networked audio systems.

• 32-channel digital-to-analog conversion with fully symmetrical, truly balanced outputs.

• MADI I/O (coaxial & optional optical SFP) with automatic input redundancy.

• AVB networking with dual redundant ports, up to 128 channels at 48 kHz (96 @ 96 kHz, 64 @ 192 kHz).

• Per-channel +24, +19, +13 dBu output level switching for versatile system integration.

• SteadyClock FS for jitter suppression and precise clocking.

• Tri-color backlit channel labels with magnetic cover for customizable markings.

• Routing matrix supports flexible signal routing from any digital input to any analog output.

• Redundant internal PSUs for maximum reliability in critical applications.

• Control via front panel, network, USB, MIDI over MADI, or JSON API.

• Slim 1U rackmount design with 15 preset storage slots.
