High-end 32-Channel 192 kHz AD or DA Converter with MADI and Dante
The M-32 Pro II series is designed to meet the demanding requirements of professional studios, immersive sound installations, live sound systems, and industrial applications that need a reliable solution for analog conversion with high-end network audio processing. These new converters are available with either 32 analog inputs or outputs, and either with Dante® or AVB for a choice of four different models.
Features:
32 x Analog I/O
1 x MADI Optical SFP (optional)
1 x MADI I/O coaxial
1 x Word Clock I/O
1 x MIDI I/O
2 x Gigabit Ethernet (802.3 compliant)
USB for firmware & remote control
Redundant PSU
DC-coupled Outputs
The Ultimate Solution for High-End Network Audio Processing
The
latest 32-channel M-32 Pro II is based on state-of-the-art,
high-resolution converter components and a fully balanced analog circuit
design that offer signal-to-noise ratios of 120 dB(A) with very low
latencies — placing the converters in the reference class. While the
M-32 AD Pro II offers the same outstanding analog performance as its
predecessor, the DA-Converter has even improved the THD+N to -111 dB.
All models benefit from impulse response optimization at sampling rates
of 88.2 kHz and higher to minimize ringing artifacts in the conversion
process.

Plug & play - rapid user interaction
Control
all device states directly from the front panel for convenient, direct
access to all features. RME network audio devices can be reached over
network (including wirelessly over Wi-Fi) and USB for convenient remote
access, allowing the rapid creation of gain groups, phantom power
switching and clock configuration. In addition, a JSON based API and
even SysEx MIDI commands can be used to integrate each model virtually
anywhere. The integrated routing matrix allows single channel routing
across all analog and digital I/O. As such, problem-solving of signals,
clocking, connectivity or other issues is both simple and
straight-forward!

Dante Audio Networking - 2 fully redundant network ports
With
an ever changing landscape of network audio solutions, the challenge
for RME’s development team was to design a highly performant device
platform that will guarantee unparalleled flexibility and stability for
years to come. To match these high requirements in accordance with RME’s
core principles everything was built from the ground up. By integrating
Audinate’s Dante IP Core on a custom built RME FPGA platform, RME is
not only delivering a highly flexible solution but also gets one step
closer to achieving a truly universal Audio Networking experience.
Dante
connectivity was a frequent request and has been integrated to run
natively on the M-32 Pro II-D hardware. It provides direct connectivity
to other audio devices via standard switches – and allows users to
directly record and play back up to 64 channels from their computer to
any of the M-32’s analog and digital I/O using Audinate’s Dante Virtual
Soundcardâ„¢ (License not included)
Multiple layers of redundancy make the M-32 Pro II Series a perfect companion for any kind of live sound application.
Analog Line Level Performance
For
maximum compatibility with a variety of analog hardware, the individual
channels of the M-32 AD Pro II and M-32 DA Pro II can be operated with
different line levels - each with full resolution of the converters.
Besides +19 dBu and +13 dBu, the new M-Series is one of the few
solutions available on the market that also allows working with the
SMPTE® recommendation of +24 dBu at 0 dBFS.
Available as AD or DA version for unprecedented flexibility and compatibility in format conversion.
Easy to Operate
Tri-color
back-lit channel label fields offer an almost indispensable advantage
in fixed installations. Using the provided transparent papers, users can
create individual channel labels and securely affix them behind a
magnetic cover, where they are illuminated depending on signal level.
This provides a comprehensive overview of analog channel assignments and
signal flow.
Updates included
With hardware built to last,
RME makes sure the firmware running on the device does not fall behind.
Since the release of the first version of the M-32 Pro, numerous feature
updates have been released, delivering an increase of AVB total stream
and channel count from four streams (64 channels) to nine streams (128
channels + additional CRF clock stream), additional stream formats,
numerous adjustments for MILANâ„¢ compatibility, single channel routing,
preset upload and download, configurable preset names, static IP address
assignment, and many more. They reflect the ongoing commitment of RME
developers to sound engineers that expect the best performance of their
devices for years to last.
