Micstasy is an 8-Channel hi-end mic/line preamp and AD-converter combining typical RME features with a number of previously unseen features. 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).

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.
