RME 12Mic-D 12-Channel Microphone Preamp with Dante Support

RME 12Mic-D 12-Channel Microphone Preamp with Dante Support
Product no: 9000-0096-5875 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

In addition to Dante, ADAT and MADI support, the RME 12Mic-D offers no less than eight microphone inputs plus microphone/line combo ports for a total of twelve inputs. What's also practical - for drummers in particular - is that the gain can be controlled remotely, and RME wouldn't be RME if this professional microphone preamp wasn't fully focussed on maximum performance, flexibility and stability. That means the 12Mic-D is equipped with a redundant power supply as well as a built-in RJ45 port and other high-end features.

Quick Tweaks From Afar or Via the Front Panel Display

While the 12Mic-D has an ever-welcome front panel display where you can quickly change any levels or settings, the interface can also be controlled over your network via a web interface, where you can change gain groups, toggle phantom power, route the audio signals to headphones, and more. RME's flexible routing matrix offers a quick way to send both digital and analogue signals to where they need to go.

MADI & ADAT for Maximum Flexibility

Besides Dante, the Mic12-D has been outfitted with two independent coaxial MADI ports, but you also have the option to hook up an SFP module (not included) so you can use MADI in combination with an optical connection. Meanwhile, the three ADAT outputs can be used to upgrade the number of outputs to 24 for a massive 204 input channels which can be routed to each of the 218 outputs via the routing matrix. Hooked up to a Dante network, the Mic12-D is able to receive 64 channels which can then be sent to the headphone output, ADAT and the two MADI ports. If ultra-high quality audio and maximum flexibility is what you're after, this is it.

Radial Introduces the McBoost Preamp for Dynamic and Ribbon Microphones

Wednesday 11 November 2015 By Lizanne

It's a common occurrence in the studio or during live performances - you make a recording, but the signal is low, the fader on your console is on max and you're out of headroom. The signal is simply too weak and starts to distort when you try to amplify it with a compressor or gain plugin. Radial comes to the rescue with the McBoost - a microphone preamplifier that will add up to 25 dB to the incoming signal, ideal for consoles or audio interfaces that need a little extra oomph!
