RME announces MADIface USB

·0 comments·

RME’s MADIface, the world’s first and only portable MADI solution, is based on an ExpressCard design. Unfortunately that interface has vanished from nearly all notebooks and laptops these days. A good reason for the RME engineers to find a similar solution on an interface platform that is found absolutely everywhere – USB 2. And yes, the new MADIface USB makes the impossible possible: full 64 channels simultaneous recording and playback (128 channels) via ‘normal’ USB 2, as only RME can do it. And because the new unit doesn’t need any external interface card anymore it will be available at a much lower price.

Fireface UCX, Babyface and Fireface UFX are not only three of the most popular interfaces in RME’s line of USB solutions – they also feature a special mode making them compatible to the world’s most popular tablet – the iPadTM. While these devices gave the iPad all the missing professional I/Os that it lacks, the usage of the units’ TotalMix FX was either impossible or cumbersome.
