RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE 2-AD/4-DA 768 kHz, High-Performance Converter

$2,499.00

The ADI-2/4 Pro SE is a 2-channel analog input to digital and 4-channel digital to analog output converter in a half-rack (9.5") enclosure of 1 U height. Latest 32 bit / 768 kHz converters offer up to 123 dBA signal to noise ratio. This value is not only printed in the brochure – it is what the unit achieves in real-world operation.

Reference class tech specs throughout are combined with an unprecedented feature set. A powerful DSP adds all kinds of useful audio processing, including 5-band parametric EQ, fast Bass/Treble adjustment, Crossfeed, and a new concept in Loudness sound control.

Operation is quick and easy through 3 encoders with push button function and 4 more buttons to access dedicated menus. The unit remembers all current settings, even the menu position. Additionally the unit’s whole setup as well as equalizer settings can be stored under individual names.
