DESCRIPTION
 

Redesigned to surpass its predecessor, the RME ADI-2 FS is a two-channel AD/DA converter suitable for use as a stereo front-end in mixing situations. It's an AD/DA converter, headphone amplifier, S/PDIF or ADAT playback system, balanced-to-unbalanced converter and vice versa, and analog distribution amplifier, all in one easy-to-use half-rack unit.

The unit itself offers 24-bit / 192 kHz converting with 120 dB of dynamic range, as well as RME's powerful FS clocking system. This guards against jitter and ensures clarity upon playback and stereo capture from other ADCs. Its headphone amplifier boasts four times the power of the original model.

Servo-balanced analog inputs complement both balanced and unbalanced outputs to suit either monitoring scenario. You can use both XLR or 1/4" connections with the device. You can switch among +4, +13, and +19 dBu sensitivities at the input or output to better accommodate the analog source.

On the digital side, you'll find digital inputs for ADAT and coaxial S/PDIF. You can use a separately available adapter to go from S/PDIF to AES3, further bolstering the unit's flexibility. The unit comes with its own power supply, as well as a power cord.

High-Quality Converters & Clock

The ADI-2 FS also uses the conversion technology of the ADI-2 Pro: the AK557x family and the AK4490 not only offer 192 kHz and low distortion, but also a dynamic range of 120 dBA. As for clocking, the ADI-2 FS makes use of SteadyClock FS, RMEs clock technology for maximum jitter suppression and lowest self-jitter. It ensures a superb sound quality completely independent from the quality of the current reference clock.

Multiple Digital Connections

The ADI-2 FS provides exciting digital connectivity. Its coaxial RCA S/PDIF I/O has a switchable Channel Status to make it fully AES/EBU compatible (cable adapter required). The optical TOSLINK I/Os can handle up to 192 kHz and also serve as ADAT I/O, even at 192 kHz. Operation with S/PDIF input and ADAT output or vice versa is supported, in both AD-DA and D-D mode.

High-Quality Digital Format Converter

With input selection set to DIG, the device works as a digital format converter with simultaneous monitoring. The AD converter is disabled, and the DA converter is still used for monitoring the digital input signal at the rear outputs and at the headphone output. A format conversion is possible between all options: ADAT, AES/EBU (with separately available adapter) and SPDIF coaxial with Professional or Consumer Status.

Switchable Direct Analog Pass Through

In ANA Mode, the device connects the analog output circuitry directly to the analog input circuitry. The DA converter is no longer active. The AD converter continues to convert the analog input signal to S/PDIF (AES) or ADAT, with the outputs S/PDIF coaxial and ADAT optical simultaneously available. This effectual bypass allows the ADI-2 FS to be used as an analog preamp. Gain and attenuation can be achieved via the level adjustment of input and output, or even fully variable when the VOL potentiometer is inserted. In this mode, the ADI-2 FS supports analog levels up to +22 dBu. Additionally, this mode can work as a converter from balanced to unbalanced signal, and vice versa.

Multifunction Headphone Volume Knob

The front-panel knob adjusts the volume of the headphone output. It can also be inserted into the rear signal path via a simple key combination, so that the rear line outputs can be variably adjusted in level as the phones output. The choice of three hardware levels stays available, thus allowing for a better matching of the desired levels on front and rear outputs.

High Power Headphone Output

The ADI-2 FS uses a down-scaled version of the ADI-2 Pro's Extreme Power output stage. With power up to 0.7 watts per channel, an output impedance of 0.1 ohm, a maximum output level of +19 dBu, and THD at -110 dB, the High Power circuitry is quite suitable for all your mixing needs. A relay ensures click-free on and off switching.
