RME M-32 AD Pro II-D / M-32 DA Pro II-D

Designed for the next decade

With the M-32 AD and M-32 DA, RME presented two independent 32-channel converters in 2010, which quickly became the industry standard thanks to their high quality, reliability and number of channels.

The M-32 Pro II series is designed to meet the demanding requirements of professional studios, immersive sound installations, live sound systems, and industrial applications that need a reliable solution for analogue conversion with high-end network audio processing. These new converters are available with either 32 analogue inputs or outputs, and either with either Dante® or AVB for a choice of four different models.

Boasting up to 32-channels, fully equipped MADI I/Os (coaxial & optical via optional SPF module), improved specs with extremely low THD values, intelligent channel routing and innovative usability, the brand-new M-32 Pro II Series truly represents the state-of-the art in exceptional audio performance.

The Ultimate Solution for High-End Network Audio Processing

The latest 32-channel M-32 Pro II is based on state-of-the-art, high-resolution converter components and a fully balanced analogue circuit design that offer signal-to-noise ratios of 120 dB(A) with very low latencies — placing the converters in the reference class.

While the M-32 AD Pro II offers the same outstanding analogue performance as its predecessor, the DA-Converter has even improved the THD+N to -111 dB. All models benefit from impulse response optimization at sampling rates of 88.2 kHz and higher to minimize ringing artifacts in the conversion process.

Connections and Features

Plug & play - rapid user interaction

Control all device states directly from the front panel for convenient, direct access to all features.

RME AVB devices can be reached over network (including wirelessly over Wi-Fi) and USB for convenient remote access, allowing the rapid creation of gain groups, phantom power switching and clock configuration.

In addition, a JSON based API and even SysEx MIDI commands can be used to integrate each model virtually anywhere.

The integrated routing matrix allows single channel routing across all analogue and digital I/O. As such, problem-solving of signals, clocking, connectivity or other issues is both simple and straight-forward!

Direct access to all features via the web-interface on any network

Dante Audio Networking - 2 fully redundant network ports

With an ever changing landscape of network audio solutions, the challenge for RME’s development team was to design a highly performant device platform that will guarantee unparalleled flexibility and stability for years to come.

To match these high requirements in accordance with RME’s core principles everything was built from the ground up.

By integrating Audinate’s Dante IP Core on a custom built RME FPGA platform, RME is not only delivering a highly flexible solution but also gets one step closer to achieving a truly universal Audio Networking experience.

Dante connectivity was a frequent request and has been integrated to run natively on the M-32 Pro II-D hardware, providing direct connectivity to other audio devices via standard switches – and allowing users to directly record and play back up to 64 channels from their computer to any of the M-32’s analogue and digital I/O using Audinate’s Dante Virtual Soundcard™¹.

 Multiple layers of redundancy make the M-32 Pro II Series a perfect companion for any kind of live sound application.

Analogue Line Level Performance

For maximum compatibility with a variety of analogue hardware, the individual channels of the M-32 AD Pro II and M-32 DA Pro II can be operated with different line levels - each with full resolution of the converters.

Besides +19 dBu and +13 dBu, the new M-Series is one of the few solutions available on the market that also allows working with the SMPTE® recommendation of +24 dBu at 0 dBFS.

Available as AD or DA version for unprecedented flexibility and compatibility in format conversion.

Easy to Operate

Tri-color back-lit channel label fields offer an almost indispensable advantage in fixed installations.

Using the provided transparent papers, users can create individual channel labels and securely affix them behind a magnetic cover, where they are illuminated depending on signal level.

This provides a comprehensive overview of analogue channel assignments and signal flow.

Updates included

With hardware built to last, RME makes sure the firmware running on the device does not fall behind.

Since the release of the first version of the M-32 Pro, numerous feature updates have been released, delivering an increase of AVB total stream and channel count from four streams (64 channels) to nine streams (128 channels + additional CRF clock stream), additional stream formats, numerous adjustments for MILAN™ compatibility, single channel routing, preset upload and download, configurable preset names, static IP address assignment, and many more.

These ongoing changes reflect the commitment of RME developers to sound engineers that expect the best performance of their devices for years to last.

Optional: RME MADI SFP Module

The RME M-32 AD Pro II and M-32 DA Pro II's MADI I/O can be expanded via the optional SFP module, increasing the MADI channel count to a maximum of 256 channels and offering MADI redundant operation.
