Tax included.
Precision You Can Trust: The Next Evolution of Reference Conversion
The RME ADI-2 Pro EX is the ultimate reference converter for mastering engineers and studio professionals. This sophisticated all-in-one toolbox combines a high-end AD/DA converter, dual Extreme Power headphone amplifier, and multi-format converter in a single chassis. Designed for those who demand honest, uncolored audio representation, it delivers studio-quality conversion with exceptional fidelity and precision.
Extreme Power with Unmatched Fidelity
The EX version features a redesigned headphone output stage with increased power in both unbalanced and balanced modes. The Extreme Power driver circuits deliver crystal-clear sound with a 120 dBA signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring full DAC performance at the headphone jack. This design reveals every micro-detail in your mix.
Innovative Hardware Protection and Cooling
Built for longevity with a larger, ventilated chassis for superior cooling. Innovative fuseless active protection prevents overvoltage and reverse polarity damage, while channel-independent DC protection safeguards your headphones. These features ensure reliable performance during demanding production sessions.
SteadyClock FS for Absolute Transparency
RME's proprietary SteadyClock FS technology reduces digital jitter to the femtosecond range, ensuring AD and DA conversion is independent from incoming clock quality. This delivers extended frequency response up to 180 kHz and a deep, holographic soundstage without the flattening effect of poor clocking.
