Overview
A PCI Express connection ties the RME HDSPe AIO Pro to a computer, giving studio and broadcast users a high channel count and a wide mix of analog and digital inputs and outputs. A dedicated attenuator in the output section raises the signal-to-noise ratio.
Working as the successor to the popular HDSPe AIO, it was reworked on the technical side and runs every input and output simultaneously, even SPDIF and AES/EBU. The listing gives no dimensions, and Windows is the only software platform named.
Who it's for
Professional users building a desktop workstation with a free expansion slot who want simultaneous analog and digital I/O. Laptop users and buyers wanting plug-in USB convenience should choose an external interface.
Pros and cons
- Every input and output works simultaneously
- Dedicated output attenuator
- SPDIF and AES/EBU both active
- Professional studio and broadcast focus
- Dimensions not listed
- Needs a free expansion slot
- Windows software only named
Performance notes
A card on the PCI Express bus talks directly to the computer, so data transfer is not shared with USB devices. The output attenuator reduces the level at the card itself, which lowers noise and output impedance when the reference level is low. Having phono SPDIF and XLR AES/EBU active together avoids switching between formats.
