The new RME ADI-8 DS Mk III is the latest addition to the ADI series. The ADI-8 DS Mk III is an 8-channel high-end AD/DA converter with a unique and incredibly versatile collection of very useful features. The RME ADI-8 DS Mk III combines excellent analogue circuit design with the very latest generation of outstanding low latency AD/DA converter chips.
As well as its integrated SteadyClock, the ADI-8 DS Mk III offers the highest quality AD and DA conversion, but also digital format conversion and distribution features for full digital connectivity.
RME ADI-8 DS Mk III Pro Quality And Specs
Like RME’s successful predecessors ADI-8 Pro and ADI-8 DS, the ADI-8 DS Mk III provides outstanding specifications and delivers professional quality and features for a fraction of the budget that would be demanded by other solutions.
The RME ADI-8 DS Mk III comes as a standard 19″ one rack unit device offering Intelligent Clock Control (ICC), SyncCheck, SteadyClock, AES/EBU and ADAT I/Os, four hardware reference levels up to +24 dBu and 192 kHz sample rate, word clock I/O and double 8-channel level metering. The ADI-8 DS Mk III converter incorporates lowest latency conversion with less than 12 samples delay, which turns digital monitoring into analogue-style monitoring.
Digital Solution
In addition to the high quality AD/DA link to the analogue world, the RME ADI-8 DS Mk III interfaces all digital studio equipment with ADAT or AES/EBU I/O, which makes it the perfect match for RME’s HDSPe AES and HDSP AES-32. It provides both cards with 8 analogue I/Os in reference conversion quality at up to 192 kHz. And if you want to use multiple ADI-8 DS Mk III’s, then the HDSPe RayDAT is the perfect solution with up to 32 analogue I/Os via its 4 ADAT I/Os.
The new RME ADI-8 DS Mk III also includes a digital patchbay with free choice of source and destination setup. ADAT can be converted to AES, AES to ADAT, cross-converted at the same time, ADAT can be passed on to ADAT while monitoring analogue, and much more. The ADAT outputs also feature a copy mode for connection of two different ADAT devices. These powerful and easy to use modes add significant value to the already outstanding conversion quality.
