Professional 32-Channel D/A Converter for MADI and ADAT Systems
The RME M-32 DA is a 32-channel, high-end digital-to-analog converter designed for critical audio environments such as broadcast studios, live performance systems, and large-format recording setups. Engineered for reference-grade audio performance, it delivers ultra-low latency, precise synchronization, and full control across MADI and ADAT digital formats. Housed in a 2U rackmount chassis, the M-32 DA provides fully balanced, symmetrical analog output and integrates seamlessly into complex digital audio networks.
Reliable Audio Over MADI and ADAT Digital Interfaces
Equipped with a MADI input and four ADAT inputs, the M-32 DA gives you flexibility in routing and system configuration. It supports 32 channels at 96 kHz or 16 channels at 192 kHz, making it ideal for high-resolution audio workflows. The unit’s MADI interface allows long-distance signal transmission—up to 2,000 meters via fiber—while maintaining channel count and fidelity. For legacy digital devices or expansion, ADAT support offers straightforward integration.
Reference-Quality Digital Conversion and Clocking
With a signal-to-noise ratio of 118 dBA, RME’s M-32 DA delivers pristine analog output quality. It features RME’s proprietary SteadyClock technology, ensuring low-jitter signal processing and stable clock synchronization across multiple digital sources. The SyncCheck function provides automatic clock source detection and ensures trouble-free setup and operation in any multi-device system.
MIDI Control and Preset Management
The M-32 DA is completely remote controllable via MIDI and MIDI over MADI. This allows for efficient system integration in larger setups where devices are centrally managed. All user settings—including routing, clock preferences, and output levels—can be stored in memory, enabling fast recall of configurations across sessions or locations.
Comprehensive Signal Monitoring and Visual Feedback
Each of the 32 channels includes a 5-segment LED level meter, providing clear and immediate feedback on signal levels. Whether you're in a live venue or managing a post-production suite, visual indicators allow you to monitor output with confidence. Outputs are provided via a balanced 25-pin D-Sub connector and a 6.3 mm stereo headphone jack for direct monitoring.
Compact Design and Rack-Ready Build for Any Application
The 19-inch, 2U rackmount chassis is built for reliability and ease of installation. Its compact depth and rugged metal housing make it ideal for both permanent installs and mobile racks. With RME’s attention to durability and firmware upgradability, the M-32 DA continues to meet evolving technical demands in high-performance audio networks.
