RME Octamic XTC Mic Preamp & AD Converter with Multi-Format I/O

Introducing the OctaMic XTC, a powerhouse audio interface boasting eight microphone and line inputs, with four switchable to Hi-Z mode, offering an unparalleled array of digital connection protocols. From standard ADAT and AES/EBU to the sophisticated 64-channel MADI optical, the XTC covers all bases.

Featuring RME's latest converter technology, analog signals maintain their pristine quality, with exceptional gain range, minimal latency, and remarkable EIN and signal-to-noise ratios. Its full-color TFT display grants easy access to setup options, including a unique patching feature allowing all inputs to be freely routed to any output, including the 24 channels of its Class Compliant USB 2.0 audio interface format.

Connectivity reaches new heights with the XTC. When linked via MIDI to an RME audio interface running TotalMix FX, remote control becomes seamless, enabling direct manipulation within TotalMix's input channel strips. This synergy extends to setups like pairing the Fireface UFX II with an XTC via ADAT, adding 8 analog inputs and 4 analog outputs to RME’s flagship interface.

For ultimate flexibility, the XTC boasts 24 channels I/O in Class Compliant mode, making it compatible with iPads using the Apple Camera Connection Kit.

The OctaMic XTC is a reference-quality, fully remote-controllable preamp and AD/DA-converter housed in a standard 19" box with 1 unit height. Loaded with features like Intelligent Clock Control (ICC), SyncCheck, SteadyClock, QuickGain, AutoSet, MIDI over MADI, and USB remote control, it offers 8-channel 192 kHz / 24-bit AD conversion with eight high-class microphone and line/instrument pre-amplification inputs, ensuring unparalleled signal transmission and amplification.

With 8 balanced XLR mic/line inputs, 4 balanced line inputs via TRS, and 4 unbalanced line/instrument inputs via TS, the XTC accommodates a wide range of setups. Frontside keys provide quick access to functions, all presented on an easy-to-read TFT display.

Operating at up to 192 kHz, the XTC's 8-channel AD and 4-channel DA conversion offers exceptional performance. It provides multiple digital outputs of different formats, serving as an AD/DA-converter, digital format converter, and signal inserter/extractor for serialized MADI setups.

With RME’s SteadyClock™ ensuring perfect AD/DA-conversion, jitter is virtually eliminated. Superior routing options further enhance its versatility, making the OctaMic XTC the epitome of flexibility and performance.

Additionally, a recent firmware update enables direct connection and usage with Windows computers, further expanding its compatibility and usability.

The OctaMic XTC is not just an audio interface; it's a game-changer, redefining what's possible in professional audio recording and production.
