RME OctaMic XTC | 8 Channel 24 Bit Remote Controllable Microphone Preamp and USB Audio Interface

RME OctaMic XTC 8 Channel 24 Bit Remote Controllable Microphone Preamp and USB Audio Interface

RME proudly presents a new generation of top-class microphone, line and instrument preamp, hi-end A/D converter, digital patchbay and format converter, monitoring device, and last but not least the flexible frontend for Apple's iPad - the OctaMic XTC!

Key Features

• 8 x Mic/Line Preamps, digitally controlled (4 x PAD, 4 x Hi-Z switchable)
• In a standard 19" box with 1 unit height the device offers numerous extraordinary features like Intelligent Clock Control (ICC), SyncCheck, SteadyClock, QuickGain, AutoSet, MIDI over MADI, and remote control via USB, MADI and MIDI
• RME’s outstanding SteadyClock ensures perfect AD/DA-conversion, as jitter on the external sync sources is nearly completely removed
• With 24 channels I/O in Class Compliant mode the XTC is also the most flexible and advanced interface ever built to work with the iPad (needs Apple Camera Connection Kit)
• The XTC's 8-channel AD- and 4 channel DA-conversion operates at up to 192 kHz. The digitized signal is available simultaneously at the double ADAT output (S/MUX), a D-sub 25 connector (4 AES/EBU outputs) and MADI optical
