RME Audio MADIface XT II

The MADIface XT was the world's first USB 3.0 audio interface at the time of its release - and impressed with its combination of an extremely high channel count, comprehensive connectivity and a compact desktop housing. With two practical mic/line preamps (XLR/TRS combo inputs), two balanced XLR line outputs, a stereo line headphone output, a variety of digital signal options (MADI coaxial and optical, MIDI/AES, word clock), as well as an additional PCI Express connection, the MADIface XT left nothing to be desired in terms of connectivity.
