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.

  • MADI to DAW

    RME presents the MADIface XT II a 394-channel 192 kHz USB 3.0 audio interface with comprehensive connectivity and control options for live and studio work.

    The successor to RME's popular MADIface XT interface, the MADIface XT II features updated digital and analogue circuitry and surpasses the first generation with significantly improved analogue and digital performance.

     

     

    Connectivity and Features

    The MADIface XT was the world's first USB 3.0 audio interface at the time of its release - and impressed with its combination of an extremely high channel count, comprehensive connectivity and a compact desktop housing.

    With two practical mic/line preamps (XLR/TRS combo inputs), two balanced XLR line outputs, a stereo line headphone output, a variety of digital signal options (MADI coaxial and optical, MIDI/AES, word clock), as well as an additional PCI Express connection, the MADIface XT left nothing to be desired in terms of connectivity.

     

    New Analogue Records

    The second generation MADIface XT II maintains this successful formula and surpasses the signal values of its predecessor in numerous areas. Among other things, the MADIface XT II convinces with a higher signal-to-noise ratio and a lower THD value during AD conversion.

    Furthermore, the maximum balanced line output level of the XLR line outputs has been increased from +15 dBu to +24 dBu. The stereo headphone output of the MADIface XT II also delivers a significantly higher output level of +19 dBu and, with an output impedance of 1 Ohm, significantly more power than its predecessor. All outputs also have several switchable level options.

     

    New Digital Circuit Board

    On the new digital board, the previous analogue mini-DIN socket for remote control of individual functions has been replaced by an ARC USB remote port, which enables comprehensive control of the MADIface XT II with the optional RME ARC USB.

     


    Room EQ

    Alongside its built-in 3-Band EQ (plus Lo-Cut) on every channel, the MADIface XT II now also features RME's Room EQ, an additional 9-Band EQ on up to 20 mono output channels (or 10 stereo channels, including the headphone output).

    Room EQ also includes Delay Compensation, adjustable from 0 ms up to 42 ms, in steps of 0.01 ms. Up to 20 of these delays can be activated, matching the number of 9-band PEQs.

    Whether you’re working in Stereo, 5.1, 7.1 or Immersive Audio formats, say goodbye to unwanted room resonances and hello to your new finely-calibrated monitoring environment.

     

    Powerful Applications for Mixing, Monitoring and Measurement included

    The MADIface XT II comes with the TotalMix FX DSP mixer offering comprehensive routing and monitoring options, as well as the DigiCheck Analyzer allowing to measure and analyze the digital data feed in both directions with maximum precision.

    TotalMix FX can completely replace an external mixer, enabling the creation of multiple latency-free monitor mixes with EQ, Dynamics, Reverb and Delay for any outputs, incl. main monitors and headphone mixes for musicians.

    The additional TotalMix Remote is a remote control for TotalMix FX, to control the hardware mixer and effects in RME audio interfaces.

    TotalMix Remote mirrors the current state of the host system on the iPad and Windows/Mac computers - the entire mixing state, the complete routing, all FX settings, up to the level meters, and everything in real-time. Easily adjust all the mixer and FX settings from a distance, via Ethernet and WiFi.

    Femtoseconds for Clocking

    With the latest SteadyClock FS, the MADIface XT II features RME's latest clock and jitter rejection technology. Based on a femtosecond clock, SteadyClock FS reduces the intrinsic jitter of the MADIface XT II to an absolute minimum, and filters clock jitter efficiently from as low as 1 Hz.

     

    USB 3 Class Compliant Audio

    The MADIface XT II operates in two different modes: driver-based USB 3 and Class Compliant. The Class Compliant mode is a standard that is natively supported by operating systems like Windows, Mac OSX and Linux distributions. No proprietary drivers are required, the device will be directly recognized when the CC firmware is loaded.

    The new MADIface XT II focuses on USB 3.0, as PCIExpress can no longer be used externally. The new device's Class Compliant mode has been significantly upgraded, as all 394 channels can now be transmitted simultaneously without a driver. In addition, there are various formats and settings for the channel sequence in order to make optimum use of Class Compliant.

     

    ARC USB Remote Control - Plug’n Play Plus

    The optional available ARC USB connects to your computer via USB, and talks to TotalMix FX directly. It has 15 freely assignable and illuminated buttons, one encoder wheel, and a TS jack to connect a foot switch.

    The ARC USB is a USB 1.1 MIDI remote control for the MADIface XT II. Thanks to operating as a UAC 1 class device, it is natively compatible to Windows and Mac OS X. As soon as it is present in the operating system, TotaIMix FX will automatically detect the ARC USB, and communicate with it via simple MIDI remote commands to control the XT II.
