RME ADI-2 Pro EX

With the ADI-2 Pro EX, RME presents the next evolution of the ultimate all-in-one reference concept. Based on the proven design of the Black Edition, this high-end device combines state-of-the-art technology with maximum flexibility and is aimed at studio professionals, hi-fi enthusiasts, and the audio industry alike. Whether as a high-precision, studio-quality AD/DA converter, an extremely powerful dual headphone amplifier, a multi-format converter (AES, SPDIF, ADAT), or as a mobile front end for audio measurements at up to 768 kHz—the ADI-2 Pro EX sets new standards in terms of sound fidelity and versatility.

What's New in the EX Version

The ADI-2 Pro EX brings significant upgrades in hardware, performance, and protection mechanisms:

• Larger, ventilated housing: The sophisticated design and improved cooling performance perfectly complement the look of the ADI-2/4 Pro.
• Enhanced with chrome feet from the ADI-2 DAC FS, they add a touch of elegance to your desktop setup.
• Lockable USB-C port: modern and robust (USB 2.0, no bus power), with a 1.8 m cable included.
• The TS trigger output enables synchronized power control for external equipment or amplifiers.
• Increased output power at the headphone output in both unbalanced and balanced modes.
• Channel-independent DC protection: New hardware circuitry for maximum reliability.
• The enhanced power supply protection detects and prevents reverse polarity and overvoltage using a fuse-less, active circuit.
• Included in the package is a lockable NT-RME-13, a lightweight, globally compatible universal power supply. The split grounding diverts leakage current and prevents ground loops.

Uncompromising precision for every application

RME stays true to its philosophy: An ultra-stable clock architecture, extremely linear analog stages, and an absolutely transparent sound guarantee unadulterated musical enjoyment and precise, reference-level performance. Thanks to its well-thought-out design, the device is also fully compatible with the new 19" RM19-III rack units.
