With the OctaMic XTC eight microphone and line inputs, four
switchable to Hi-Z mode, meet an unrivaled variety of digital connection
protocols - from common ADAT and AES/EBU to sophisticated 64-channel
MADI optical.Analog signals are converted with RME's newest converter technology.
Maintaining the excellent sound and frequency response that RME
converters are known for, this preamp excels in an extraordinary gain
range, extremely low latencies and stunning EIN and signal to noise
ratios.With the help of the full color TFT
display, the quickly accessible setup options reveal another truely
unique feature: all analog and digital inputs, including up to 64 MADI
channels and 8 AES/EBU audio channels, can be freely patched to any
output - including the 24 channels of its Class Compliant USB 2.0 audio
interface format.
When attached by MIDI (DIN, MIDI over
MADI, or USB) to an RME audio interface running TotalMix FX, the
OctaMic XTC can be remote controlled directly within the input channel
strips of TotalMix. An example is the combination of the renowned
Fireface UFX with an XTC on top, connected via ADAT, adding 8 analog
inputs and 4 analog outputs to RME’s flagship interface.Full remote control support allows the unit to be as close to the
analog signal source as possible while important settings and
configurations can be modified, as well as stored and recalled, not only
on the unit itself, but also from a larger distance.With 24 channels I/O in Class
Compliant mode the XTC is also the most flexible and advanced interface
ever built to work with the iPad (needs Apple Camera Connection Kit).
