Product Overview
The RME M-1620 Pro converts 16 analog line-level signals (switchable per channel up to +24 dBu) to and from MADI, ADAT, and Dante networks. Housed in a single-height 19-inch rack unit, it features a redesigned front panel with LED level meters, a display, and dual headphone outputs for monitoring. Advanced converters and flexible internal routing make it a leading choice for any audio network.
- Simplicity and Reliability at Its Core
- The RME M-1620 Pro is designed for reliability, featuring built-in redundancy with dual network and MADI connections, a monitored DC input, and an internal AC power supply. A unique alert system ensures seamless operation by signaling any issues. Its full stand-alone capability allows users to adjust settings directly on the unit, making quick modifications or recalling user-defined presets easy.
- 64-Channel Dante Connectivity
- The M-1620 Pro D integrates 64-channel Dante connectivity, enabling direct links to other audio devices via standard Ethernet switches. It can also act as a switch for daisy-chaining multiple Dante devices when redundancy isn't required. Users can record and playback up to 64 channels of analog and digital I/O on their computer using Audinate’s Dante Virtual Soundcard™ (license not included).
- Advanced Integration and Flexibility
- The M-1620 Pro offers manual configuration of aliasing filters for optimal impulse and frequency response, while SteadyClock FS reduces jitter on digital inputs. Separate Word Clock BNC and coaxial MADI connectors, along with optional optical MADI via an SFP module, ensure seamless integration into existing setups.
- Intuitive Control and Connectivity
- Control all device states directly from the front panel, with easy access to all features. RME network audio devices can be accessed over a network, including Wi-Fi, and USB for remote control, allowing rapid configuration of gain groups, phantom power, and clock settings. The integrated routing matrix supports single-channel routing across all analog and digital I/O, simplifying problem-solving for signal, clocking, and connectivity issues.
