HDSPe AoX-D

The RME HDSPe AoX-D is a state-of-the-art PCI Express audio interface designed for large-scale audio networking applications in broadcast, live sound, and professional recording studios. This card represents the pinnacle of high-channel-count integration, providing a staggering 512 input and 512 output channels by combining the power of Dante audio networking with the established MADI digital format. Built on a PCIe 3.0 platform, the HDSPe AoX-D delivers immense bandwidth and RME's legendary ultra-low latency performance, ensuring that even the most demanding multi-channel recording and playback tasks are handled with ease and stability. It is the definitive solution for professionals who need to manage massive audio streams between different digital ecosystems.

The HDSPe AoX-D offers up to 256 channels of Dante audio I/O via two redundant Gigabit Ethernet ports, ensuring failsafe operation in critical environments. Alongside the Dante connectivity, it features two optical MADI I/O ports, each capable of handling up to 128 channels, for a total of 256 MADI channels. This dual-format capability allows for seamless bridging and routing between Dante and MADI systems. The card is powered by RME's on-board FPGA, which runs the comprehensive TotalMix FX mixer. This hardware-based mixer can handle all 1024 channels, providing powerful routing and submixing capabilities without placing any load on the host computer's CPU. With the inclusion of RME's latest SteadyClock Pro technology, the HDSPe AoX-D guarantees reference-grade clocking and jitter suppression for all connected digital sources.
