RME DTOX-16 IO Analog Breakout Box

All-in-One Analog Breakout Box for XLR to D-sub Routing

The RME DTOX-16 I/O is a professional-grade analog breakout console designed to connect 8 XLR inputs and 8 XLR outputs to two 25-pin D-sub connectors. Built with flexibility in mind, this unit simplifies complex cabling for studios, broadcast suites, and live rigs by supporting both input and output routing in a single 1RU enclosure. Whether you're integrating with converters, mixers, or patch bays, this breakout panel provides a clean, passive signal path using industry-standard TASCAM pin layout.

Ideal for RME Interfaces and Analog Audio Systems

This breakout box is fully compatible with RME’s most popular multichannel interfaces including the ADI-8 QS, ADI-8 DS Mk III, M-32 AD, M-32 DA, M-16 AD, and M-16 DA. It’s also universally usable with any gear that supports analog audio over DB25 connectors. That makes it a powerful asset for engineers looking for streamlined connectivity without sacrificing audio quality or studio organization.

8 XLR Inputs and 8 XLR Outputs for Balanced Signal Flow

The DTOX-16 I/O offers eight female XLR connectors for analog input and eight male XLR connectors for analog output, all routed to corresponding D-sub outputs. Balanced signal paths ensure low-noise transmission across your setup, whether you're working with high-channel-count recording interfaces or analog summing systems. Each channel is clearly labeled to avoid patching errors and speed up installation.

Two D-sub 25 Connectors for Multichannel Integration

Signal routing is handled by a pair of 25-pin D-sub connectors—one handling inputs, the other handling outputs—wired to match the TASCAM analog DB25 format. This ensures plug-and-play compatibility with a wide range of pro audio gear, enabling you to build out or scale your system efficiently. There’s no active circuitry, so there's zero added latency and no power required.

Flexible Rackmount Design for Studio and Road Applications

The DTOX-16 I/O is built into a rugged 1U, 19-inch steel housing and includes detachable rack ears for adaptable mounting. Whether you prefer front-facing or rear-facing XLR access, this breakout box accommodates both orientations. It's built to withstand years of studio use and just as capable in mobile or live production environments where rack space and routing clarity are critical.

Streamlined Workflow for Complex Analog Setups

This breakout solution eliminates the tangle of adapter cables and custom snakes by bringing professional-grade routing into a unified chassis. With its standardized connectors and passive design, you can route multiple analog channels cleanly and confidently, whether you're tracking, mixing, or archiving multichannel audio content.
