Description
The Digiface USB from RME is a portable USB 2.0 audio interface designed to quickly and efficiently transfer 24-bit / 192 kHz digital audio data in ADAT and S/PDIF format to Windows and Mac computers. Lightweight (at 0.49 lb), compact, and bus-powered, it is well suited for mobile recording/mixing applications or remote monitoring solutions.
The Digiface USB offers four optical ADAT / S/PDIF I/Os and a high-quality analogue line/phone stereo output via a 1/4" TRS jack, for a total of 32 inputs and 34 outputs when using ADAT optical. It also comes with the real-time mixer software TotalMix which allows you to mix and route all inputs and playback channels simultaneously, to any hardware outputs. The software features a dedicated Control Room section with Talkback, Main/Phones, fader groups, mute groups, complete remote controllability via Mackie or OSC protocol, and more.
The included DIGICheck utility software provides a suite of tools to test, measure, and analyse digital audio streams with a high-precision peak/RMS level metre, a spectral analyser, a vector audio scope, and more.

- SyncAlign guarantees sample-aligned and never-swapping channels
- SyncCheck tests and reports the synchronisation status of input signals
- DIGICheck DSP: Level metre in hardware with peak and RMS calculation
- High-resolution Bitclock PLL (audio synchronisation) in ADAT mode, even in vari-speed operation
- Near-zero effective clock jitter influence on A/D and D/A conversion
- PLL ensures zero dropout, even at more than 100 ns jitter
- Low-Jitter Design: < 1 ns in PLL mode, all inputs
- Driver CD contains drivers for Windows Vista / 7 / 8 / 10 and Mac OS X (x86 Intel)
