Preamps

RME 12Mic-D, 12-channel mic preamp with Dante, MADI and ADAT, designed for studio and live use, combining transparency and flexibility.

ARTICLE N° 112797
The RME 12Mic-D is an essential tool for sound engineers who want to combine quality and versatility. Its 12 transparent microphone preamps ensure coloration-free reproduction, ideal for recording vocals as well as acoustic instruments. With a gain range of 75dB and precision digital management, it guarantees faithful pick-up of even the most delicate sources.

Designed for professional environments, this model combines robust construction with a 1U format that fits perfectly into a studio or touring rack. The front panel features a colour screen and direct controls for fast, intuitive interaction. The integrated headphone socket adds immediate control without the need for an external console.

When it comes to connectivity, the 12Mic-D leaves nothing to chance. It comes with Dante, MADI coaxial and optical (via optional module), three ADAT outputs and a Word Clock, enough to adapt to all current network audio configurations. With its two redundant Ethernet ports, it ensures stable, secure transmission, even in the most demanding installations.

The internal routing is impressively flexible: up to 268 inputs and 282 outputs can be managed simultaneously. Each channel can be routed to the output of your choice, whether it's a Dante, MADI, ADAT or headphone stream. This system simplifies complex setups and optimises every stage of the audio signal.

In real-life situations, whether for orchestral recording, live recording or broadcast installation, the RME 12Mic-D offers rare reliability. Its remote management via web interface makes work fluid and responsive, even in the middle of a concert. Its compatibility with current and future standards makes it a long-lasting investment.

Users looking for a centralised interface for preamplification, conversion and network audio distribution will find the 12Mic-D a trusted partner. Whether you're in the studio or on the road, it reduces the amount of equipment needed while delivering top-level performance.
