64 Channels I/O

Taking 8 Channels to 64 Channels
In 2015 the RME Babyface Pro was launched to much industry acclaim. Now regarded as the new standard in high-end desktop recording, it’s superior sound, build quality and professional connectivity has made it the first choice for producers, engineers and artists everywhere.
One year on, and RME have taken the Babyface Pro to the next level. The MADIface Pro retains the beautifully designed housing with its integrated XLR and analog  I/Os, but has replaced the ADAT I/O with a MADI port. The result is 64 channels of pristine audio on a single cable on an interface that will fit in your laptop bag  with your computer.
Because of its physical design and versatile I/O, the MADIface Pro is the perfect mobile solution where quality audio is critical. As well as remote, live, broadcast and industrial applications, the MADIface Pro is also the complete solution for the studio.
Basic Functionality
Two analog mic/line XLR inputs, two XLR line outputs, two universal TS inputs for line or instrument, and 2 stereo TRS outputs for low and high impedance headphones provide everything you need to work on your projects in the studio or on the move.
TotalMix FX adds 3-band parametric EQs and reverb/ echo, plus unlimited mixing and routing options. A MIDI I/O completes the fully DAW compatible feature set.  The unit operates USB bus powered and usually does  not need an external power supply, unless the  MADI I/O is used.
MADI I/O
The optical MADI I/O offers 64 input and out channels, and sample rates up to 192 kHz.  It is fully supported in TotalMix FX, with the analog I/Os simultaneously available, resulting in 68 channels input and 68  channels output over USB 2.
To address the increased power demand, RME has implemented a delayed start of the MADI transceiver on power-up, and an option to temporarily disable it when not needed. The MADIface Pro includes an external power supply with lockable connector.
Stand-Alone Mode
When not connected to a computer, the MADIface Pro enters stand-alone mode. The easy to use control surface with dedicated buttons and four level meter bars, along with independent storage of all current settings have already become important workflow features for many existing Babyface Pro owners.
A very useful MADI monitor feature has been added to stand-alone mode. MADI channels 1 to 64 are passed unchanged from input to output (but refreshed by the MADIface Pro SteadyClock III). Optionally channels 1/2 can be replaced by the input signals 1/2, 3/4, MADI 1/2 or a user adjustable mixdown of all these channels. The analog outputs can be used to listen to any incoming MADI channel pair.
RME USB 2.0
It’s RME’s ability to deliver professional performance over USB 2.0 that allows the MADIface Pro to record and playback 68 simultaneous channels, all with buffer sizes as low as 32 samples (lowest value depends on computer used). The MADIface Pro can be used in Class Compliant mode achieving 24 channels of I/O (4 analog, 20 channels MADI) on an iPad™. This truly professional and mobile solution can be easily set and controlled via  RME’s optional iOS app TotalMix FX for iPad™, available  in the App Store.

RME‘s reputation is further enhanced by its rock-solid drivers, which provide unrivalled stability and low-latency performance on both Windows and Mac OS. And because the company develops its own interface core, it’s not dependent on 3rd parties for upgrades, modifications or bug fixes.
From the very beginning, unsurpassed performance has been one of the cornerstones of RME‘s product design, and this is even more evident today. RME were the first to deliver professional performance over USB 2.0, and have recently paved the way for multichannel audio on USB 3.0. RME‘s refusal to compromise on any aspect of product design or manufacture has resulted an unrivalled reputation for quality, performance, and reliability.
Matthias Carstens, RME‘s head of product development and company founder, commented on the company’s milestone 20-year achievement, “All of us at RME are very proud to celebrate our 20th Anniversary, because it is a reflection of the dedication and effort put forth by everyone in the organization.
Our company philosophy has always been to create innovative, user friendly, and high-quality digital  audio solutions.
Our Audio Core and Steady Clock technologies are just two examples of our dedication to superior design.
We place a high level of attention on the development of reliable, stable, and regularly updated drivers for our products and an unwavering focus on audio quality.
