Exactly 5 years ago, the RME developer team
presented themselves at the Synthax booth to the public for the very first
time. On barely 1 square meter, we showed the DAM-1 and the first DIGI24.
This was the beginning of a fast history of success. The team of 11 people
in total (in manufacturing and distribution) has turned into two large companies
with more than 60 employees - this has to be celebrated!
We have therefore taken the opportunity of our fifth music fair to prepare
some special activities for the year 2002. The ADI-8 series is one of the
reasons for our success. With the PRO and DS models, RME brought hi-end audio
quality and features to the market for the first time at prices of a fraction
of comparable products. Unfortunately, the ADI-8, especially the DS, is still
too expensive for many customers. In order to bring the dream of such a converter
closer, we have made a limited Anniversary Edition of the DS. Apart
from the AD-converters, the ADI-8 AE is 100% equal to the ADI-8 DS.
Instead of the AK5393 ADCs, the AK5383, known from our DIGI96 cards, are
being used. Therefore the AE offers only 111 dBA instead of 117 dBA at the
analog inputs.
Apart from this, the ADI-8 AE has all technical details, and the sound of
the ADI-8 DS - (and this is the reason for you to celebrate as well) for
the price of less than an ADI-8 PRO!
|
ADI has both a special front design and something
very special on the lid - namely the signatures of all people being involved
in this device. From the idea via construction, assembly of the boards and
manufacturing up to the quality management: 18 employees have their hands
on each of these 'manu'-factured devices, and have 'immortalized' it. |
The ADI-8 AE was shipped in May / June / July, in a limited edition of 1500
pieces. Due to its popularity and high demand, RME has produced a final run
of 300 units in time for the holidays, extending the existing numbers of AEs
to 1800. This special Christmas edition is a fantastic value, and a wonderful
addition to any audio enthusiast's collection! If you are interested in an
AE, you should contact your local RME retailer
soon in order to get hold of a device.
The back of the ADI-8 AE - like the interior
- is the same as the latest version of the ADI-8 DS. This includes switchable
word clock termination, increased distance between the TRS-jacks, and an
optimized word clock PLL.
