Introduction 2
The HDSP9632 launched by RME is the most versatile PCI audio interface in the world. There is no ambiguity in terms of performance. The latest AD and DA converters have a signal-to-noise ratio of more than 110 dB. All inputs and outputs can be operated at the same time. The easy-to-install analog expansion card, the famous TotalMix, a high-quality clock generator can overcome external clocks. Any shaking.
Introduction 3
RME now has a sound card that supports a sampling frequency of 192kHz, and the balance of functions has reached an unprecedented height.
German manufacturer RME is well-known for producing high-end sound cards and converters. The two new members of the Hammerfall DSP family, HDSP 9652 and HDSP 9632, have enriched their product line. In fact, these two sound cards have many similarities. This article will focus on the differences between the HDSP 9632.
HDSP 9632 is declared as "the most versatile audio interface in the world". While inheriting the excellent quality of the HDSP series, it also maximizes the potential of the HDSP system. He does not have as many interfaces as 9652, but it has stereo analog input and output, and also supports sampling rates from 32kHz to 192kHz.
This new PCI sound card supports the latest 192kHz, 24bit sampling, with a nominal signal-to-noise ratio of 110dB. It is easy to use. All inputs and outputs（Up to 16 channels）Can be used at the same time, there are multiple optional interface types, only need to replace the external connection. The additional expansion card does not need to occupy the PCI slot, but will occupy the PCI bit on the back panel of the computer chassis, so there will still be one less available PCI slot.
Obviously, clock stability is extremely important for high sampling rates. HDSP 9632 uses a brand-new clock protection circuit, known as "stable clock（Steady Clock）". This clock technology can minimize jitter while ensuring that the quality of the input digital signal is not compromised. According to the nominal value, in PLL mode（For example, synchronization with external digital signals）The jitter does not exceed 1ns, while in the internal synchronization mode, it is less than 0.8ns.
The main card is compatible with the PCI 2.1 slot, and the audio signal is transmitted through the connection on the two D-sub interfaces. At the same time, there are two ADAT optical fiber sockets on the panel of the card. ADAT supports standard 8-channel 48kHz digital signal, or 4-channel 96kHz S/MUX format signal. If necessary, it can also be set as an S/PDIF signal interface in the software.
Two D-sub interface external wiring provides all audio jacks. Among them, the analog input/output is realized through a 15-pin D-sub interface, and the other 9-pin D-sub provides an S/PDIF digital interface. The S/PDIF digital input/output is two phono jacks, theoretically supporting a sampling frequency of up to 192kHz-but this requires a higher quality digital cable. In addition, you can also choose to balance the Canon interface connection to get the AES-EBU digital interface.
In the test version, the analog signal is transmitted through the Canon interface, with a headphone output and a pair of MIDI input and output. In fact, the connection of the Canon interface needs to be purchased separately, and the basic configuration of the card is an unbalanced Lotus interface. The input and output port levels on the card can be adjusted independently, and there are three commonly used modes to choose from, including the familiar +4dBu and -10dBu standards.
HDSP 9632 is also equipped with an upgraded Totalmix real-time DSP software mixing/console, providing 512-channel audio mixing control, 40bit internal precision, and zero-delay monitoring of any channel. This means that in most cases, users no longer need an external hardware mixer. The mix output can be independently assigned to the stereo main output or headphone output. The latest version supports new matrices and multi-window windows, such as AC3 surround sound DVD encoding.
Like other products in the same series, HDSP 9632 supports RME''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s "zero CPU occupancy" technology, and uses a built-in DSP chip to process audio signals without occupying system resources. I mentioned DSP here, in fact-like other products of the same series-this card uses FPGA instead of traditional DSP chips. There has been too much discussion about the right and wrong between FPGA and traditional DSP, and RME still believes that this design can provide more flexible application methods.
