Amplification can be set between 6 and 60 dB. The 8-Channel AD-conversion operates at up to 192 kHz, with the digitized signal available simultaneously at the double ADAT output (S/MUX, up to 96 kHz) and at a DB-25 connector (4 AES/EBU outputs, up to 192 kHz). The digital part can be clocked internally (master) and externally via word clock, AES/EBU and SPDIF. RME's SteadyClock(TM) ensures perfect AD-conversion by removing jitter on external sync-sources.
