Overview
HDSPe MADI - RME Audio Interfaces | Format Converters | Preamps | Network Audio & MADI Solutions
The HDSPe MADI is RME's both inexpensive and outstanding PCI Express card with MADI interface. HDSPe MADI is based on the award-winning HDSP MADI card, and represents the new top model of this world-wide successful card line.
Since 2010, I have trusted RME interfaces at Arimaka Studios because of their impeccable digital solutions that are rock solid and great sounding.

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.
