RME Digiface Dante - 256-Channel 192 kHz USB Audio-Interface

A lightweight, portable audio interface, combining Dante network connectivity and features with everything that RME is famous for USB 3, MADI, TotalMix FX and outstanding options in both USB and stand-alone operation.

Digiface Dante uses RME’s well-known USB driver for Windows and macOS, with the lowest latency and industry-leading stability, and is equipped with the latest TotalMix FX for flexible routing or mixing operations. High-quality phone output offers a quick listen to any audio channel, but can also be used as line output to provide an additional analog stereo mixdown.

FEATURES

Two BNC sockets for word clock I/O are switchable to MADI I/O, with up to 64 channels. The total sum of Dante and MADI, 128 channels, are transferred via USB 3.0 and handled via both Dante control software and RME’s TotalMix FX, for full and struggle-free control of all audio.

Equipped with two banks of redundant network ports, the Digiface Dante is more than just an audio interface. It also offers the functionality of a switch, connecting up to 4 network lines.

Used without USB the Digiface Dante automatically turns into a 64-channel Dante / MADI converter. The analog stereo output can be preconfigured to send out a mix of exactly those channels that are needed.

TotalMix FX and TotalMix Remote
Like all the latest RME interfaces, the Digiface Series also includes the powerful digital real-time mixer TotalMix FX. It allows for practically unlimited mixing and routing operations, with all inputs and playback channels simultaneously, to any hardware outputs.

The Digiface Series includes a dedicated Control Room section with Talkback, Main/Phones, fader groups, mute groups, complete remote controllability via Mackie or OSC protocol, and much more. The Digiface Series does not support DSP-based effects (FX) like EQ or reverb.

Additionally, RME’s latest software, TotalMix Remote, enhances the power of RME interfaces by enabling remote control via iOS, PC or Mac. With a straightforward setup process — simply enter the IP address of the computer you would like to control with TotalMix Remote and get going — users can quickly adjust any aspect of TotalMix FX on a host system while walking around the studio with their tablet, or from a control room located elsewhere in the facility.
