RME announces MADIface USB

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.

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.
