Superb analogue audio quality and high-end converters - Renowned ESS Sabre32 DAC technology delivers 125 dB dynamic range. Support for all standard sample rates up to 192 kHz.

Ultra-low latency and proven, high-performance MOTU drivers - Round-trip latency (RTL) performance as low as 2 ms at 96kHz with high-performance DAW hosts.

Universal connectivity - Connects to your computer with 5 Gbps USB3 (compatible with USB2) for up to 60 audio channels. Class-compliant firmware and industry standard drivers work with any audio apps. Connects to an iPad™ with USB-C or a Lightning adapter kit (sold separately).

60 simultaneous audio channels - 28 inputs and 32 outputs, including two combo XLR/TRS mic/line/hi-Z guitar inputs with send/return inserts, 8 TRS analogue (line-level) in/out, separate main outs on XLR jacks, two banks of 8-channel optical I/O, stereo RCA S/PDIF digital I/O, and two front-panel headphone outputs.

Advanced mic channels - Cutting-edge components deliver ultra-transparent sound with -114 dB THD+N, 118 dB dynamic range and -129 dBu EIN. Each mic channel provides individual controls for +74 dB of preamp gain, -20 dB pad, 48V phantom power, and phase invert. All settings can be controlled remotely from a computer or iOS device. Each mic channel includes a dedicated send/return insert for outboard gear processing.

Flexible insert returns - When nothing is connected to the front-panel mic inputs, the two rear-panel returns function as additional line inputs with identical signal path characteristics as the other eight line inputs.

DSP mixing and effects processing - Flexible 24-input digital mixer with 8 stereo busses and DSP effects, including reverb, 4-band EQ, gate and compression.

Wi-Fi control - If the 828 is connected to a computer on your Wi-Fi network, you can control everything wirelessly from the CueMix 5 app running on mobile devices or other computers on the same network - even multiple devices at the same time. Manage access to the 828 with network discovery and password protection.

Precision boost/trim for analogue I/O - Calibrate analogue input and output signals in precise 1 dB increments. Apply phase invert individually to analogue inputs.

Control room features - Control your sessions with front-panel "talk" button and "A/B" speaker select buttons to quickly compare your mixes on two sets of studio monitors.

Or you can create a completely customized mix for each headphone that includes live 828 inputs and built-in reverb.

Two banks of optical I/O - Connect outboard digital processors, digital mixers or other gear with 16 channels of ADAT at 44.1/48 kHz or 8 channels of SMUX at 88.2/96 kHz. Bank A can optionally provide stereo TOSLink (optical S/PDIF) I/O up to 96 kHz.

Foot switch input - Connect a standard foot pedal switch (sold separately) for hands-free punch-in and punch-out while recording. Or map the pedal to any keystroke function in your host software.

MIDI in/out/thru - connect MIDI gear without the need for a separate MIDI interface.

Word clock in/out/thru - Supports all sample rates up to 192 kHz.

DC-coupled TRS outputs - Use the 828 to manipulate and sequence voltage-controlled modular synthesizers from a host DAW.

Loopback for live streaming and podcasting - Easily route computer output back to the computer, where you can mix it with live mics and/or guitar inputs from the 828 in your host software for live streaming or podcasting.

Guitar re-amping - Connect your guitar to the front-panel input, use CueMix's near-zero latency to loop to any output (with a re-amp adapter, if needed), and record both the dry signal and your mic'd up amp simultaneously. Then re-amp the dry signal later with different amps and cabs - or amp modelling plug-ins - to experiment with different tones.

CueMix 5 app - Control mixing and settings from your Mac, PC or iOS device.

Performer Lite - Workstation software with over 100 included instruments, dozens of effects and 6 GB of included loops to make music right away. Also includes Ableton Live Lite.

Notes: AXE I/O ONE is the ultimate compact and affordable 1-in/3-out audio interface designed for guitarists, musicians and engineers who want the best sound possible for recording guitar or bass. It combines IK's patent-pending Z-Tone impedance control, an Amp Out for Tone Modeling, multiple circuit topologies, and award-winning AmpliTube and TONEX software for a complete digital studio rig.

AXE I/O ONE delivers professional audio with sample rates up to 192 kHz, 108 dB dynamic range, and 9 Hz-45 kHz frequency response.

AXE I/O ONE offers a simple, streamlined setup for Tone Modeling and re-amplification. Use the Amp Out to create a virtual Tone Model of your amp, cab or pedals including distortion, overdrive, EQ, Fuzz and boost. The Amp Out can also be used as a standard re-amping output for even more creative options.

AXE I/O ONE's main channel offers 3 different circuit topologies. This gives you three different options to dial in the perfect tone for any type of guitar pickup or style.

The PURE setting offers a completely transparent and ultra-accurate instrument preamp that won't colour your sound in any way.

Switching to the Class A JFET input buffer adds midrange focus, warmth and harmonic enhancement, giving you more tonal options from the same instrument.

ACTIVE pickups don't require a Hi-Z input, so this setting bypasses unnecessary gain stages to keep your signal path as direct, transparent and clean as possible.

AXE I/O ONE's patent-pending Z-Tone circuit lets you go from a tighter/sharper tone to a thicker bolder tone with a simple twist of a dial. Z-Tone changes the impedance from 1 MO ("sharp") down to 2.2 kO ("bold") giving you ultimate freedom to dial in the perfect feel and tone from electric guitar and bass pickups.

AXE I/O ONE offers a PURE mic preamp designed for transparent and clean recording. The mic preamp offers a wide, flat frequency response: 9 Hz to 45 kHz, +/- 0.5 dB (at 96 kHz) to avoid unwanted coloration and perfectly preserve the sonic character of your voice, acoustic guitar, piano or other instrument.

It's also ideal for capturing your rig with IK's groundbreaking TONEX AI-based Tone Modeling software. With both AmpliTube 5 SE and TONEX SE included, you'll have everything you need to record, model and play right out of the box, plus AXE I/O ONE works with all your favourite recording applications.

AXE I/O ONE offers a range of useful features including dedicated controller inputs that let you connect up to two expression pedals or two single/double switches to control AmpliTube, or any other software, in real-time without putting your hands down. You can also use AXE I/O ONE's MIDI input and output to connect floor controllers or iRig Stomp I/O to add even more real-time controls - or use it with regular keyboards and other standard MIDI gear.

Supplier's Notes:
The Digiface Ravenna is a lightweight, portable audio interface, based on the proven Digiface Dante equipped with a RAVENNA module developed by DirectOut and features with everything that RME is famous for: USB 3, MADI, TotalMix FX and outstanding options in both USB and stand-alone operation.

Mobile RAVENNA Solution via USB

The combination of RME's renowned drivers (Mac/Windows) and DirectOut's RAVENNA implementation offer a reliable and flexible networked computer audio interface. Equipped with the latest TotalMix FX it can not only route, but also mix as many independent submixes as outputs are available. The included high quality phones output offers a quick listen to any audio channel, but can also be used as line output to provide an additional analog stereo mixdown.

RAVENNA & MADI

RME made the two BNC sockets for word clock I/O switchable to MADI I/O, with up to 64 channels. The total sum of Ravenna and MADI, 128 channels, are transferred via USB 3.0 and handled via the included RAVENNA web server or RME's TotalMix FX, for full and struggle-free control of all audio.

On the network side, the interface features a full-fledged RAVENNA stack with AES67 and ST2110-30/31 support and redundant audio-over-IP streaming as per ST2022-7. In addition, the interface can also be used as a mobile 64-channel RAVENNA/MADI converter without a USB connection to a computer. The coaxial MADI I/O connectors may also be configured to work as word clock sync I/O.

TotalMix FX and TotalMix Remote

Like all the latest RME interfaces, the Digiface Series also includes the powerful digital real-time mixer TotalMix FX. It allows for practically unlimited mixing and routing operations, with all inputs and playback channels simultaneously, to any hardware outputs.

The Digiface Series includes a dedicated Control Room section with Talkback, Main/Phones, fader groups, mute groups, complete remote controllability via Mackie or OSC protocol, and much more. The Digiface Series does not support DSP based effects (FX) like EQ or reverb.

Additionally RME's latest software, TotalMix Remote, enhances the power of RME interfaces by enabling remote control via iOS, PC or Mac. With a straightforward set up process - simply enter the IP address of the computer you would like to control with TotalMix Remote and get going - users can quickly adjust any aspect of TotalMix FX on a host system while walking around the studio with their tablet, or from a control room located elsewhere in the facility.

TotalMix FX - Mixing/Routing with superior features for Studio and Live Work

Since 2001 TotalMix added unlimited routing and mixing to RME's audio interfaces. Its unique capability to create as many independent submixes as output channels available turned it into the most flexible and powerful mixer of its kind.

RME USB - Transport audio with lowest latency and industry leading stability

Use your RME audio interface on Mac and PC with reliable, stable, and regularly updated drivers for RME products. RME Audio develops its own interface core, it's not dependent on 3rd parties for upgrades, modifications or bug fixes, so customers can use latest operating systems without interruption or delay."
