RME has announced it is now shipping the HDSPe AIO, a 38-channel 192 kHz PCI Express audio interface.
This card makes the dream of an All-In-One solution for every possible audio application come true. Equipped with the latest 192 kHz AD- and DA-converters for more than 112 dB signal to noise ratio, simultaneously operational SPDIF (phono) and AES/EBU (XLR) ports, full TotalMix hardware mixing/routing, SteadyClock for jitter suppression of external clock signals, optional easy-to-install high-quality analog expansion boards and support for the Time Code Option – all this combines into a professional ‘soundcard’ that the world has not seen before. Of course the AIO supports the optional TCO for synchronization to timecode (LTC/video).

* The HDSPe AIO ships in a basic version with analog RCA/phono breakout cables (headphone: TRS jack). Therefore all analog I/Os are unbalanced. An analog XLR breakout cable is available as option (headphone: Neutrik TRS locking jack), turning analog into balanced mode.
