The device combines excellent analog circuit design with outstanding low latency AD\/DA converter chips of the latest generation. Along with the integrated SteadyClock, the QS offers an AD- and DA-conversion of the highest quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAnalog and digital limiters, 4 hardware reference levels up to +24 dBu, AES\/EBU and ADAT I\/O (optional MADI I\/O) at up to 192 kHz, remote control via MIDI, digital input and output trimming for full level calibration, volume control for all 8 analog outputs, either separately or globally, digital thru-mode, operation over a wide voltage range and many more features make the QS truely unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe ADI-8 QS is RME's reference - highest performance in every detail, at an unbeaten price\/performance ratio!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1U device offers an outstanding AD\/DA conversion from\/to AES\/EBU and ADAT (MADI optional), at up to 192 kHz. The balanced inputs and outputs use RMEs circuit design, therefore guarantee outstanding noise and distortion values. Four different input and output levels each are available, offering a perfect adaptation to the analog domain. The latest generation AD\/DA converters provide sample rates up to 192 kHz with a SNR of 120 dBA.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its efficient jitter reduction, SteadyClock guarantees pristine sound quality independently from the quality of the external clock signal. Additionally Intelligent Clock Control (ICC) will retain the last valid sample frequency in case of a loss of the input signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe technologies known from other RME products like SyncCheck ensure perfect synchronization and clear detection of errors. Multiple units can be stacked and operated sample-aligned, using word clock. All settings are stored when the unit is switched off.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe QS can be fully remote controlled and configured via MIDI, and all status displays can be queried through MIDI. Each QS can be given a separate ID, allowing separate remote controllability of various devices with only one MIDI channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe included Hardware Remote Control allows to control the monitoring volume directly from the working place. A reference volume once saved can be recalled anytime, and of course we did not forget to add a DIM function (-20 dB).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eLow Latency\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn the QS RME uses a high-class AD converter from Cirrus Logic, offering exceptional Signal to Noise and distortion figures. But the biggest difference to all other ADCs out there is its innovative digital filter, achieving for the first time a delay of only 12 samples in Single Speed (0.25 ms), 9 samples in Double Speed (0.09 ms), and 5(!) samples in Quad Speed (0.026 ms).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThese values are less than a quarter of those available from even much more expensive devices. They represent an important step in further reducing the latency in the computer-based recording studio. At DS and QS the added latency can simply be ignored. The DA-converter offers similar conversion in the range of 5 to 10 samples, turning analog digital monitoring into real analog-style monitoring!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eInput AD: 1\/4\" TRS jack and 25 pin D-sub, servo balanced, completely symmetrical audio path\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eOutput AD: 4 x AES\/EBU, 2 x ADAT optical, optional MADI\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eInput DA: 4 x AES\/EBU, 2 x ADAT optical, optional MADI\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eOutput DA:1\/4\" TRS jack servo balanced, up to +21 dBu. 25 pin D-sub, balanced, up to +24 dBu.
