RTW HW20912 16-Channel Analog & Digital Audio Interface

Professional 16-Channel Analog and Digital Audio Interface for TM9 Series

The RTW HW20912 is a 16-channel analog and digital audio interface designed for use with the RTW TM9 TouchMonitor Series. Combining 8 analog input channels via D-Sub (DB25) and 8 digital I/O channels through AES3id (BNC) connections, this interface provides the flexibility and precision needed for professional broadcast and production environments. It expands the TM9’s connectivity, enabling detailed metering and analysis across both analog and digital audio formats within a single, integrated system.

Hybrid Connectivity for Modern Studio and Broadcast Applications

Engineered for maximum compatibility, the HW20912 allows simultaneous integration of analog and digital signals, providing a hybrid monitoring solution for today’s evolving production workflows. The analog inputs support direct connection from consoles, outboard processors, or analog routers, while the AES3id digital I/O ensures accurate, low-jitter transmission from digital sources such as audio routers, playback servers, and DAWs. This dual-format flexibility makes it a reliable choice for facilities that require both signal types in daily operation.

Accurate Metering and Analysis with TM9 Integration

When connected to the RTW TM9 TouchMonitor, the HW20912 enables precise metering of all 16 audio channels in real time. Users can view detailed loudness, peak, phase, and correlation measurements directly on the TM9’s intuitive touchscreen interface. Whether you’re handling live broadcast feeds, post-production mixes, or mastering sessions, this module ensures compliance with international loudness standards such as EBU R128, ITU-R BS.1770, and ATSC A/85.

Optimized for Professional Audio Performance

The HW20912 delivers pristine audio quality with low noise, low distortion, and excellent channel separation across both analog and digital paths. The AES3id (BNC) connections maintain signal integrity across longer cable runs, making them ideal for high-end studio installations and broadcast infrastructures. The analog circuitry is engineered to preserve sonic clarity and transparency, providing accurate metering and monitoring without coloration or signal degradation.

Simple Integration and Secure Installation

Designed specifically for the RTW TM9 platform, the HW20912 is installed internally and configured by an authorized RTW service center. This ensures proper calibration, electrical integrity, and long-term reliability. Once installed, it operates seamlessly within the TM9 environment, allowing engineers to monitor and analyze multiple signal types without external converters or additional hardware.

Ideal for Broadcast, Post, and Production Environments

The combination of analog and AES3id digital connectivity makes the HW20912 an essential tool for hybrid studios, mobile production units, and network broadcast facilities. It simplifies complex audio setups, providing a single metering platform that supports both analog inputs and digital workflows. By expanding the TM9’s connectivity options, this module ensures a future-ready solution for professional metering and signal management.
