This is an introduction to the new RME HDSPe MADI FX with Matthias Carstens (head of design at RME). The RME HDSPe MADI FX really is yet another innovation from the RME team and offers 390 channels of audio (yes, you did read it correctly, 390 channels), and all channels take advantage of the new TotalMix FX mixer. Genius eh? We filmed this last week on the RME stand at Musikmesse 2012, so this is the first look at the NEW RME HDSPe MADI FX. Come see us at synthax.co.uk if you want to find out more.
At the Musikmesse 2012 in Frankfurt RME presented the new HDSPe MADI FX PCI Express card. The MADI FX marks a new milestone both in the history of audio interface cards and within the long series of outstanding RME devices. Never before has such a high-performance multi-channel audio system existed. The HDSPe MADI FX features 390 audio channels! Three MADI I/Os - two optical and one coaxial - are accompanied by one AES/EBU I/O and one analog monitoring output. The HDPSe MADI FX introduces a newly developed modular Hammerfall Pro Audio Core. The high-tech core will process three times as many channels as the channel count of the previous MADI flagship, while actually reducing the system load and enabling ultra-low latencies on modern computers. The new core technology is accompanied by a special version of TotalMix FX, which allows using the enormous channel count efficiently, and a faster DSP. The integrated 192 kHz RME effects engine allows latency-free monitoring with numerous effects directly on the hardware of the card, independent from the DAW software in use. The card can be used as powerful MADI router. Unlike most other router solutions, each channel can be routed individually - even with separate level settings for each routing. With the new Seamless Redundancy Operation the card can operate as single MADI input device, recording up to 64 channels. As soon as the current input fails the audio data received from one of the other two inputs is used. The audio data <b>...</b>

Rob Masters from synthax UK introduces us the the HDSPe range of cards from RME as well as giving us an explanation as to to what, exactly, MADI is! With its enormous digital track count, the MADIface has changed the face of live and touring sound. For full specifications please visit the product page: www.dv247.com
