RME has announced the introduction of the latest addition to the ADI-2 Series, the new ADI-2/4 Pro SE two-channel analog input to digital and four-channel digital to analog output converter.
The ADI-2/4 Pro SE includes two servo-balanced analog inputs on combo XLR and TRS jacks, two separate balanced and unbalanced outputs on XLR and TRS, and two stereo power headphone outputs on the front for the balanced operation of all headphones, including in-ear monitors via a Pentaconn connector. Also available are optical SPDIF I/O, which also understands ADAT, coaxial SPDIF (RCA), and AES I/O (XLR) via an included breakout cable.
The USB 2.0 port is class compliant, a standard natively supported by operating systems such as iOS, macOS, Linux, and Windows 10 as well as for firmware updates. The unit can be powered by battery, opening up mobile applications and galvanically isolated use cases, including an external switched power supply with a lockable connector.
As a computer interface, the ADI-2/4 Pro SE offers a stereo and a multichannel mode with out-of-the-box macOS capabilities. Under Windows, the ADI-2/4 Pro uses RME’s MADIface series driver for full WDM and ASIO compatibility.
A high-resolution IPS panel for the graphical operation surface that’s designed to ease operation displays additional functions provided by the DSP. They include peak level meters, a 30-band analyzer in DIGICheck biquad filter technology, and a state overview screen listing the current states of SPDIF, AES, USB, and clock.
