Due to the nature of the products we sell, we operate a strict fraud screening process and therefore we are only able to deliver to the billing address.

In the event of a delay, we will contact you either by email or telephone as soon as reasonably possible.

While 99% of UK locations are valid for next day/Saturday delivery, there are a few remote locations which are not covered.

Synthax Audio (UK) cannot deliver outside of the UK and Republic of Ireland*.

*RME products cannot be shipped to the Republic of Ireland.

 

Missed Deliveries

If you are not in to receive the order at the time delivery is attempted, a card will normally be left to notify you of the missed delivery attempt. This will allow you to either telephone the courier company to arrange a re-delivery at a more convenient time or collect it from your local courier depot or Royal Mail sorting office. For security reasons, all items require a signature.

If for any reason the item is returned to us (e.g. incorrect address specified, multiple failed delivery attempts), then we will inform you immediately by email as soon as we receive the item. From this point forth, you will be given a choice whether you wish us to re-dispatch the item or cancel the order. Please refer to our Cancellations & 14 Day Returns Procedure for more details. For items where delivery failed through no fault of Synthax Audio (UK), you will be liable for the original shipping charge, any courier surcharges and any subsequent delivery charges.

 

Late Deliveries or Dispatch

We are able to ship almost every order in the specified timescale. However, in very rare circumstances there can be an unforeseen delay. If this does happen, we will make it our priority to get your order dispatched from our warehouse as soon as reasonably possible.

There are also rare cases, beyond our control, when the delivery company itself has a problem which causes a delay in transit. In these situations we will do our utmost to liaise with the relevant delivery company to ensure delivery is completed as swiftly as possible.

Consequential Loss for Late Deliveries

If a delivery is late, then we will provide a refund of any delivery fee that we charged you. We do not provide financial compensation to cover consequential losses, e.g. for time taken off work to receive a delivery, or if the item is intended as a gift and you have to purchase the same item from a more expensive retailer.

Description

RME HDSPe AoX-M (AVB/Milan)

The RME HDSPe AoX cards once again set the reference for high performance audio interfaces. Available as a Dante® version with 512 x 512 channels and as a Milan® version with 128 x 128 channels, these cards leverage RME’s renowned driver architecture to bring high channel counts to any DAW – along with a 256-channel TotalMix™ engine, RME’s FPGA-based super low latency hardware mixer.

Occupying only a single slot, the PCIe x4 interface transmits and receives up to 512 channels of network audio signals on two separate gigabit Ethernet ports. The network audio channels can partially be replaced (or extended in case of the Milan® version) with MADI signals by adding up to two optional dual optical SFP or dual coaxial extension cards.

It is therefore possible to integrate four MADI input signals, four MADI output signals plus up to 256 network audio channels per direction within a single audio interface for the first time – on macOS® and Windows®.

In comparison to these massive channel counts, the ¼” stereo headphone jack occupies a lot of space on the card – and for good reason, because it allows engineers to monitor any signal reaching the card: from the computer, the network, or the optional MADI inputs.

And to add one more signal to the mix – a stereo AES3 digital I/O is available together with MIDI on a breakout cable, making it a versatile and full-fledged professional interface.

A word clock input/output port is available on the MADI option cards.

(Up to 256 audio channels can be passed to and from the TotalMix software mixer.)

 

Managing High Channel Counts

The vast number of channels can be managed by the user via the driver’s software dialog, which includes a routing matrix that creates the connections between hardware I/O and software I/O, offering a lot of flexibility.

First, the user selects which 256 channels to send to TotalMix, which provides powerful features such as level metering, preset management, layouts, sub-mixes, loopback and more. An additional 256 channels can be selected by the user to be passed straight through to the DAW, meaning a total of 512 channels are visible for recording.

Then, the user selects which channels – again 256 from TotalMix and an additional 256 channels straight from the DAW – should be sent to the card’s hardware outputs.

Higher sampling rates are supported with corresponding reduction of channel count: half at 96 kHz, a quarter at 192 kHz, except for the Milan version that supports 128 channels at 96 kHz and 64 channels at 192 kHz.

Both cards can also be installed in external Thunderbolt™ enclosures as a perfect addition to mobile recording setups, or installed in common DAWs or audio processors.

 

Optional: MADI I/O Expansion Cards

The RME HDSPe AoX-M can be expanded with up to 2 x MADI Expansion Cards, available with coaxial BNC connectors or optical SFP modules:
