Product Description
The RME Digiface AVB is a revolutionary audio interface that offers a glimpse into the future of audio network technology. Developed by RME, this device uses AVB to transfer up to 256 channels of audio between your PC and the audio network, with 128 channels in and 128 channels out. It comes with an additional headphone output for high-quality monitoring.

The channels are organized in configurable streams from 2 to 32 channels, allowing connections to all available AVB audio devices on the market. The accompanying software package includes an AVDECC controller, which helps you discover all AVB devices in the network and manage incoming and outgoing streams. It also has basic monitoring capabilities. Like other latest RME interfaces, the Digiface Series includes the powerful digital real-time mixer TotalMix FX, enabling unlimited mixing and routing operations. The series has a dedicated Control Room section with features like Talkback, Main/Phones, fader groups, mute groups, and full remote controllability via Mackie or OSC protocol. RME's TotalMix Remote software enhances the interface's functionality by allowing remote control via iOS, PC, or Mac.
