Synthax, the Americas distributor for RME, announces the introduction of the ADI-2 Pro AD/DA converter.
The ADI-2 Pro is ideal for mastering and measurement applications, plus hi-res audio playback—making it well suited to studio applications as well as use in theaters and performing arts venues.
Being plug & play compatible, the unit’s feature set makes the ADI-2 Pro easy to set up and use. Based on the connections being made, the ADI-2 Pro will automatically switch to AD/DA converter, USB interface, or analog preamp mode. A specific mode can be set if required.
The ADI-2 Pro converter includes two servo-balanced analog inputs on combo XLR/ TRS jacks, two separate balanced and unbalanced outputs on XLR and TRS connectors, two individual stereo ‘Extreme Power’ headphone outputs on the front, an optical SPDIF I/O that also recognizes the ADAT format, plus coaxial SPDIF (RCA) and AES I/O (XLR) via an included breakout cable. This universal set of I/O options enables the ADI-2 Pro to offer quality and flexible connectivity.
The ADI-2 Pro’s USB 2.0 port is fully class compliant (UAC 2) for connection with compatible iOS devices and Mac OS computers. Windows 7 or up is also supported with WDM and ASIO by RME’s own driver. With the included external switched power supply with lockable connector, the ADI-2 Pro can be easily powered via battery, opening up mobile applications.
The ADI-2 Pro excels at AD/DA conversion, in both PCM and DSD mode. Utilizing SteadyClock III, RME’s unique jitter suppression technology, the unit supports sampling frequencies of up to 768 kHz and DSD256. Equally notable, the ADI-2 Pro provides a 5-band parametric EQ per channel and for all analog I/Os, offering efficient frequency correction of headphones and speakers.
Mathias von Heydekampf, managing director at Synthax, comments on the new RME ADI-2 Pro, “The ADI-2 Pro delivers crystal clear, sonic transparency for use in a wide range of audio applications. With all its connectivity, this converter is equally at home in a high-end studio, a performing arts center, or in one’s personal Hi-Res Audio setup. Like all RME products, the new ADI-2 Pro offers world-class audio performance combined with impeccable build quality. I’m confident audio professionals will find this new converter an outstanding choice for their requirements.”
The new RME ADI-2 Pro AD/DA converter carries an MSRP of $2,299. Now available.
