Beskrivelse
The MADIface XT II is a 394-channel 192 kHz USB 3.0 audio interface with comprehensive connectivity and
control options for live and studio work. Compared to its predecessor MADIface XT, the MADIface XT II features updated
digital and analog circuitry and surpasses the rst generation with signi cantly improved analog and digital performance.
The MADIface XT was the world’s rst USB 3.0 audio interface at the time of its release – and impressed with its combination
of an extremely high channel count, comprehensive connectivity and a compact desktop housing. With two practical
mic/line preamps (XLR/TRS combo inputs), two balanced XLR line outputs, a stereo line headphone output, a variety of
digital signal options (MADI coaxial and optical, MIDI/AES, word clock), as well as an additional PCI Express connection, the
MADIface XT left nothing to be desired in terms of connectivity.
New Analog Records
The successor MADIface XT II maintains this successful formula and surpasses the signal values of its predecessor in
numerous areas. Among other things the it convinces with a higher signal-to-noise ratio and a lower THD value
during AD conversion. Furthermore the maximum balanced line output level of the XLR line outputs has been increased
from +15 dBu to +24 dBu. The stereo headphone output also delivers a signi cantly higher output level
of +19 dBu and with an output impedance of 1 Ohm signi cantly more power than its predecessor. All outputs also have
several switchable level options.
New Digital Circuit Board
On the new digital board the previous analog mini-DIN socket for remote control of individual functions has been replaced
by an ARC USB remote port, which enables comprehensive control of the MADIface XT II with the optional ARC USB. The
MADIface XT II also offers the Room EQ known from the Fireface UFX III with nine parametric bands for use in surround
setups for up to 20 mono output channels.
Femtoseconds for Clocking
With the latest SteadyClock FS the MADIface XT II features RME’s latest clock and jitter rejection technology. Based on a femto
clock, SteadyClock FS reduces the intrinsic jitter to an absolute minimum and lters clock jitter
e ciently from as low as 1 Hz.
New Hardware
The new MADIface XT II focuses on USB 3.0, as PCIExpress can no longer be used externally. The new device’s Class
Compliant Mode has been signi cantly upgraded, as all 394 channels can now be transmitted simultaneously without a
driver. In addition there are various formats and settings for the channel sequence in order to make optimum use
of Class Compliant.
