The RME M-1620 Pro AD/DA Converter provides 16 channels of AD conversion, 20 channels of DA conversion, with transparent, deatiled, and spacious sound. The M-1620 is a truly professional grade converter, including RME's famed SteadyClock, TotalMix FX, and a host of connection options.
The RME M-1620 Pro AD/DA Converter converts 16 analog line-level signals (per channel switchable up to +24 dBu) to and from MADI, ADAT and Milan network technology. This innovative unit is designed with a newly developed front panel that combines LED level meters with a display and includes two separate headphone outputs for monitoring - all within a single-height 19-inch rack device. Cutting-edge converters and flexible internal routing place it at the forefront of any audio network. The M-1620 Pro allows manual configuration of the converter’s aliasing filters for optimal impulse and frequency response. Jitter on digital input signals is effectively reduced with SteadyClock FS. Separate Word Clock BNC and coaxial MADI connectors, with optional optical MADI via an SFP module, allow the device to be easily integrated into existing infrastructure.
Simplicity at first glance - Flexibility and reliability beyond:
RME prioritizes reliability by equipping the M-1620 Pro with built-in redundancy. This includes dual network and dual MADI connections, along with a monitored DC input in addition to the internal AC power supply. A unique system clearly signals when an issue arises, ensuring seamless operation. With full stand-alone capability, users can adjust device settings directly on the unit for quick modifications or to recall entire user-defined presets. The Milan-certified model transmits and receives up to 128 channels at 48 kHz (96 @ 96 kHz, 64 @ 192 kHz) with precise, fixed latency across a deterministic network. It reveals its status and configurable options to controllers using the open IEEE 1722.1 (ATDECC) standard.
A Dante version of the M-1620 is available for those that need Dante Network Audio instead of AVB.
