The RME M-32 DA Pro II is a 32-channel high-end DA converter that combines advanced analogue circuit design, the latest converter chips, and RME's SteadyClock technology to deliver state-of-the-art digital-to-analogue conversion for professional studio, stage, and broadcast applications.

The M-32 DA Pro II offers a comprehensive range of features in a user-friendly design. It supports 32 channels of DA conversion, operates up to 192 kHz, and achieves a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio of 118 dBA across all channels. The unit's hardware includes three reference levels up to +24 dBu, MADI I/O, ADAT input, 6.3mm TRS, and D-sub outputs, all housed in a compact 2U rackmount enclosure.

Professional Applications

Optimised for professional environments, the M-series converters—including the M-32 DA—can be combined with the M-16 DA to create setups with 16, 32, 48, or 64 channels, depending on the specific requirements and budget. The M-32 DA's balanced analogue outputs, based on RME's ADI-8 QS reference design, ensure exceptional performance with low noise and distortion.

Advanced Technology

RME's SteadyClock technology provides efficient jitter suppression, ensuring high sound quality regardless of the external clock signal's quality. The Intelligent Clock Control system displays clock status via LEDs and retains the last valid input sample rate in case of an external clock failure. SyncCheck further enhances reliability by quickly detecting clock issues.

Remote Control and Integration

The M-32 DA Pro II is fully remote controllable via MIDI, with all settings and status displays accessible through the front panel or included control software for Mac and PC. The unit also supports MIDI transfer via MADI and offers seamless connectivity with other studio equipment through its optical and coaxial MADI inputs and four ADAT inputs.

Reliability and Performance

The M-32 DA Pro II guarantees consistent performance with its servo-balanced TRS jacks and D-sub outputs, supporting various output levels. The unit retains all settings when powered off, ensuring a hassle-free experience in professional environments.
