Rupert Neve Designs RMP-D8 8-Channel Dante Remotely Controllable Mic Preamp

The RMP-D8 from Rupert Neve Designs finally brings into the live sound universe something that studios have always coveted: that Rupert Neve sound. How? Well, starting at its heart lies the modular mic preamp cards that feature Mr. Neve's custom transformer designs. Unlike other integrated Dante mic preamp designs that depend primarily on a single IC for both gain and tone, each channel on this unit includes a fully-realized class-A mic preamplifier feeding a custom transformer which maintains the high standards of Rupert Neve Designs' standalone preamplifiers. As converters are often an afterthought on other combination devices, the RMP-D8's 24-bit/192kHz converters are the resulting product of years of careful listening. Precision­-controlled internal clocking along with enhanced jitter reduction enable capture of the full breadth of the performance from the mic preamplifiers or the line inputs, so there is no weak link in the audio path.

The Dante Standard

Dante audio networking makes use of standard IP networks to enable transmission of high-quality, uncompressed audio with near-zero latency. You'll find it to be the most versatile, dependable, and easy-to-manage audio networking solution available, while providing the lowest cost of ownership by dramatically reducing the costs of cabling and labor. Dante is the audio networking choice of virtually all professional audio manufacturers, so it's probably safe to say that it's the industry standard for digital audio networking.

The audio signal from the RMP-D8 will work with any Dante device across a range of environments from arenas to concert halls, clubs, studios, houses of worship, and educational facilities. So basically, the RMP-D8 brings the classic Rupert Neve Designs sound into the Dante-connected world.
