A / D D / A

The RME Micstasy is a professional microphone / line preamp, coupled with an A / D converter. This device is fully controllable in MIDI and MIDI via MADI. The Micstasy can work simultaneously between the preamp and digital preamp / converter modes, perfectly suited to the studio and live. It can work as a signal splitter, for concert applications.

  • SteadyClock ™ guarantees outstanding clock quality under any circumstances. Thanks to the reduction of the jitter, the AN converters of Micstasy operate without influence of the quality of the external clock signal and guarantee a perfect transparency. In addition ICC allows to keep the last sampling frequency valid in case of loss of the signal.
  • RME's SynCheck® technology ensures perfect synchronization and clear error detection. When chaining multiple units, synchronization is done to the sample using the WordClock.
