RME hardware chosen for installation at Kansai University’s newly designed Socio Sound Studio
RME's range of professional audio devices can be found at the heart of commercial and project studios around the world. Over its 20 year history, the company has built up a strong reputation for providing cutting-edge audio solutions that are both flexible and rock-solid in operation. As a result, RME devices can also regularly be found in many other audio sectors where accuracy and reliability are top priority, with the company providing systems to broadcast, scientific and academic circles as well.
We've previously spoken about how RME audio interfaces, mic preamps and converters have been used by both the De MontFort and Falmouth Universities in the UK. And now the Kansai University in Japan have recently installed a selection of recording and interfacing devices from the German manufacturer, to form the main hub of their new campus facility.
Cutting-edge MADI setup provides comprehensive routing and mixing capabilities
The main centre-piece of the setup is the RME MADIface XT, RME's 394-channel USB 3 MADI interface, which is connected to a set of RME ADI-8 QS converters, for providing highly accurate AD/DA conversion. An RME MADI Router then allows for extremely high channel-counts to be mixed and routed to and from the various parts of the studio with ease, providing a wealth of opportunities for the variety of projects which will be carried out at the university's new Socio Sound Studio.
Yuki Sakamoto of Synthax Japan, who supplied the equipment, says of the system;
"This studio is a perfect showcase of a Madi-based setup and for the products that Synthax Japan distributes. The recording system is easy to use and the sound quality is excellent, meaning the professor and students are happy to play in the studio."
The full details of this cutting-edge setup has been documented by Pro Audio Asia. To read the full article, click here.
