RME M-32 DA Pro II-D Dante 32-channel D/A Converter

RME's best-sounding converter yet

The M-32 DA Pro II-D completely eclipses the performance of RME's previous generations of converters. This reference-class D/A unit houses a fully balanced analog circuit design with a 120dB(A) signal-to-noise ratio, astonishingly low latency, and -111dB of THD+N. You also get artifact-free conversion, thanks to impulse response optimization at sampling rates of 88.2 kHz and higher. To top it off, the M-32 DA Pro II-D operates at various line levels — with full resolution — to accommodate the full gamut of analog hardware.

Powerful Dante audio networking

In addition to a 128-in/128-out MADI interface, the RME M-32 DA Pro II-D supports Dante networking, enabling you to output 32 analog signals received from over a single Ethernet cable. The M-32 DA Pro II-D's native Dante support provides direct connectivity to other audio devices via standard network switches, enabling you to record and play back up to 64 channels from your computer to any of the unit's analog and digital I/O using Audinate's Dante Virtual Soundcard (license sold separately). The M-32 DA Pro II-D includes two redundant network ports for rock-solid reliability.

Intuitive user interface

This D/A converter's tri-color, backlit channel label fields are a huge advantage in fixed installations, allowing you to attach transparent channel labels to the unit's front panel via a magnetic cover, where they illuminate depending on signal level. You can also access the M-32 DA Pro II-D remotely over your network (including wirelessly over Wi-Fi), allowing for lightning-fast configuration and control. Moreover, a JSON-based API and SysEx MIDI commands can be used to integrate the unit anywhere. You also get an integrating routing matrix, which permits single-channel routing across all analog and digital I/O.
