RME Micstacy M
Overview
Description
MRE Micstasy M with MADI card is an 8-Channel hi-end mic/line preamp and AD-converter with a MADI option card built-in, providing sixty-four channels of MADI I/O. It can be used analog (Mic/Line In to Line Out) and digital (Mic/Line In to Digital Out), with both signal paths operating simultaneously. Special highlight: the device is fully remote-controllable via MIDI (also MIDI over MADI).
The Micstasy's innovative concept allows for amplification and digitization of ALL analog signal sources. Be it high-level stage signals, typical studio signals, lower level and high-impedance instruments, or dynamic, condenser or ribbon microphones: Micstasy understands them all - in a way that is simply thrilling.
