Simplicity at first glance...
...Flexibility and reliability beyond Introducing the brand new ‘M-1610 Pro’ from RME…
Merging 16 analogue inputs with a switchable sensitivity of up to +24 dBu per channel; 8 corresponding analogue outputs; and an additional headphone output, the M-1610 Pro brings a lot of analogue I/O to any studio setup.
With the M-1610’s coaxial and (optional) optical MADI, redundant AVB, 4 ADAT optical outputs, and redundant DC coupled outputs, the M-1610 Pro represents one of the versatile and highest-performing converters currently available on today’s market.
Add Analog & AVB I/O to any Existing MADI Devices
Featuring RME's STEADYCLOCK FS
RME listened closely to the requests of recording engineers who frequently used a variety of analogue effects and instruments in their sessions, as a result, RME have combined the outstanding performance of the M-32 Pro AD and DA converters into one solitary device, and at an incredible price-point.
In comparison with the M-32 Pro series, which was designed primarily with fixed installations in mind, the M-1610 Pro adds a number of additional user-friendly features, for streamlined operation in studio, live and broadcast. Input and ouput TRS jacks offer alternative connections for the D-Sub inputs (11-16) and D-Sub outputs (1-2), along with redundant network ports, a headphone output for monitoring and trouble-shooting, and quick and simple access buttons for source selection and volume.
The internal routing matrix provides visual control overall channels side by side - up to eight AVB streams (with a total of 128 channels); the coaxial and (optional) optical MADI ports (with each up to 64 channels); all analogue I/O; and the ADAT outputs, for flexible routing between the 272 inputs and 298 outputs. Lowest converter latencies and deterministic AVB net-working with configurable network delay down to 0.3ms allow the M-1610 Pro to deliver samples, even from multiple devices, at incredible speeds, time-aligned with nanosecond accuracy across an entire network.
The AD and DA filters have been carefully optimized for different sampling rates, with a focus on accuracy and RME’s signature ‘transparency’ (nothing added, nothing removed). Together with SteadyClock FS, RME’s ultra-low jitter digital clock technology, the conversion to and from analogue is state-of-the-art, at any level and across all digital formats. As a notable difference to similar devices, the three analogue line levels per channel each offer the full dynamic range of the converters.
