Reference-Class 32-Channel D/A Converter for Dante and MADI Workflows
The RME M-32 DA Pro II-D is a high-performance 32-channel digital-to-analog converter engineered for professional audio environments that demand accuracy, reliability, and seamless integration into Dante and MADI networks. This rackmount unit delivers uncompromising conversion quality with low total harmonic distortion, ultra-low latency, and support for high sample rates up to 192 kHz. Built with a symmetrical design and balanced circuitry, the M-32 DA Pro II-D is ideal for broadcast facilities, immersive installations, recording studios, and live sound environments.
Flexible Network Audio Routing with Dante and MADI
This unit features dual redundant Dante network ports and dual MADI I/Os (coaxial and optical via optional SFP), allowing you to integrate it into complex audio systems with up to 128 channels over MADI or 64 channels over Dante. The Dante implementation includes a switch mode for cascading devices and offers compatibility with Audinate’s Dante Virtual Soundcard software for streamlined PC integration. Both network types support internal routing via an intuitive matrix system, ensuring unmatched flexibility in assigning and monitoring signal paths.
Precision Analog Conversion with Low THD and Wide Dynamic Range
At the core of the M-32 DA Pro II-D is a reference-grade converter circuit that delivers a dynamic range of 120 dB(A) and THD as low as -109 dB. The analog output stage is fully balanced and DC-coupled, capable of delivering up to +24 dBu with no signal coloration. RME has optimized the impulse response for higher sampling rates, minimizing ringing artifacts and preserving transients with surgical precision. This attention to detail ensures transparent signal fidelity for mixing, mastering, or real-time playback in critical monitoring setups.
Advanced User Control and Monitoring Options
Front-panel operation is quick and intuitive, thanks to the high-resolution 2" display and push-button encoder, which grant access to full device control, including preset management, clock configuration, and real-time signal monitoring. The M-32 DA Pro II-D supports remote control via USB, HTTP (web-based interface), JSON, and MIDI over MADI, making it easy to configure in both local and networked setups. Visual feedback is further enhanced by tricolor backlit channel indicators and a customizable magnetic channel labeling system for clear visibility in dark or fixed installations.
Built for Redundancy and Reliability in Demanding Environments
To safeguard against downtime, the M-32 DA Pro II-D incorporates two fully monitored power supply units and supports seamless automatic clock source switching using RME’s SyncCheck and MADI Auto-Input technologies. Whether in mission-critical live production or 24/7 studio operation, this unit ensures continuous performance and failover protection without compromising signal integrity. The 1 RU chassis fits into standard 19" racks, keeping your workflow compact and efficient.
Line-Level Output Compatibility with Configurable Reference Levels
Each analog output can be set independently to work with various professional line levels, including +13 dBu, +19 dBu, and the widely adopted +24 dBu SMPTE standard. This adaptability allows the M-32 DA Pro II-D to seamlessly integrate with a wide range of analog consoles, monitoring systems, and processing gear without signal mismatching or the need for external pads or boosters.
