The Multiface is not only multi because of the many different interface formats supported, but also multi-channel! Based on the technology of the Project Hammerfall the Multiface includes ADAT optical I/O, ADAT-Sync In, SPDIF I/O, MIDI I/O, word clock I/O and a separate analog line output. On top we provide 8 analog inputs and outputs, balanced and 96 kHz/24 bit, of course. All this can be used on laptops as well as on desktop computers with 'zero cpu load' and low latency!

Extended information

8 x analog line I/O, 96 kHz/24 bit, SNR 105 dBA, 1/4" TRS jacks
1 x ADAT digital I/O, based on RME's reliable Bitclock PLL
1 x SPDIF digital I/O, based on RME's reliable DIGI96 technology
1 x ADAT Sync In (9-pin D-type) for sample accurate transfers
1 x Word clock I/O (BNC)
1 x analog line/headphone output, separate output for independent submix
1 x MIDI I/O, 16 channels high-speed MIDI
HDSP Meter Bridge: freely scalable level meters, peak- and RMS calculation directly in hardware
TotalMix: 720 channel mixer with 40 bit internal resolution
S/MUX poured in hardware: 4 channels 96 kHz/24 bit for record and playback on ADAT optical
...and numerous other features found already in the Hammerfall series. And all this for an unbeatable price!
