Overview
Digiface AES | bus-powernd USB 2 Audio Interface - RME Audio Interfaces | Format Converters | Preamps | Network Audio & MADI Solutions
The latest Digiface AES is a professional, bus powered 14 input and 16 output channel USB 2.0 interface with 2 Mic/Line universal analog input channels and 4 analog output channels (2 XLR, one TRS phones) complementing its digital I/O section. With an excellent set of digital connectivity, SteadyClock FS, full stand-alone operation and built-in parametric EQ, the Digiface AES shines as the perfect all-in-one solution for recording and playback of digital and analog sources, as well as flexible playback/monitoring via TotalMix FX.
For the main inputs RME uses the proven mic/line preamps in XLR combo configuration of the Babyface Pro FS. Two digitally controlled preamps provide individually switchable 48V phantom power. These circuits feature a gain range of 75 dB, adjustable in steps of 1 dB, including a relay-driven PAD, resulting in exceptional EIN (Equivalent Input Noise) performance as well as line overload protection, and enough gain for even the lowest level microphones.

Why RME?
RME designs and builds its interfaces and converters in Germany and is known for driver support that outlasts the hardware, with current releases for products sold more than a decade ago. TotalMix FX, the routing and monitoring engine shared across the line, runs on the device itself rather than the host computer, so monitoring stays stable regardless of what the computer is doing.
