A pocket-sized MADI interface
The MADIface USB from RME Audio combines a mixer, router, format converter, stream splitter, and signal repeater in a single interface that connects directly to a computer or laptop for operation. Via the MADI audio network, it can process up to 128 channels at a sample rate of 48kHz, while sample rates of up to 196kHz are supported with as many as 32 channels. Its extremely low latency also makes it well suited to streaming applications, while the front panel provides both optical and coaxial inputs and outputs for flexible connectivity. The end result is a versatile solution for a wide range of audio applications.

TotalMix software for intelligent signal routing
On the rear of the MADIface USB, a USB 2.0 port is provided to allow it to be connected to a computer or laptop, while RME's TotalMix software enables independent routing and complex mixing across all channels. The dedicated "Control Room" section gives users an overview of the entire routing setup and provides access to monitoring settings, with 64 channels available for recording and 64 for playback at a sample rate of 48kHz, allowing inputs and outputs to operate independently. All signals processed by TotalMix are routed to both outputs of the MADIface USB, while the software also provides an independent mix output and allows the second source to be routed in series.

Easy integration into any setup
The MADIface USB is designed for professional applications in live and broadcast environments and is compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems. RME's SteadyClock technology ensures reliable synchronisation with other MADI devices, while MIDI-over-MADI allows connected MADI equipment to be controlled remotely. The AutoSelect function automatically switches to the second input if the active one fails, providing additional security during operation, in addition to which RME's DIGICheck software offers precise analysis of audio data streams, with spectral analysis and multi-channel level meters on Mac OS X, as well as a multitrack recorder on Windows.

Create headphone mixes in a flash
Using TotalMix, the RME MADIface USB allows users to create versatile, delay-free mixes, with up to 32 independent mixes for musicians and performers that can be set up quickly during live events. Signals can also be routed to multiple outputs simultaneously, allowing the MADIface USB to function as a signal splitter, while several programmes from different playback channels can be combined into a single stereo channel. TotalMix supports full ASIO Direct Monitoring (ADM) for efficient mixing, while the absence of an internal DSP chip means that no internal effects are applied. External effects units can instead be integrated into the recording and playback paths, making real-time monitoring possible and, for example, allowing reverb to be added to vocals.
