Page 3: Introduction
AES/EBU, SPDIF coaxial and optical, as well as ADAT optical. To maintain the full dynamic range within the best operating level, RME's ADI-2 includes elec- tronic switches of the latest technology, which introduce no additional noise or distortion to the audio path. -

The large voltage range of the ADI-2 also allows for the use of a rechargeable lead-battery in- stead of a power supply, for completely independent mobile operation. A matching connection cable (power jack to terminals 6.3 mm) is available from RME. A Panasonic LC-R122R2PG battery, 12 V 2.2 Ah, can operate the ADI-2 for 4 hours. -

Page 7: Inputs And Outputs
One of the main issues when working with an AD-converter is to maintain the full dynamic range within the best operating level. To achieve this, RME's ADI-2 includes a discrete hard- ware gain stage, directly in front of the AD-converter. Electronic switches of the latest technol- ogy, which introduce no additional noise or distortion to the audio path, are used to control the gain, and offer highest operating comfort. -
Page 8: Analog Outputs
LEVEL to Hi Gain gives a loudness boost of 6 dB, while setting it to –10 will reduce loudness by 9 dB – with the pot still unchanged! * The hardware revision 1.4 uses a white QS LED. User's Guide ADI-2 © RME... -
Page 9: Headphones
The ground-free design, with transformers for digital inputs and outputs, offers a trouble-free connection of all devices along with perfect hum rejection. The ADAT optical inputs of the ADI-2 are fully compatible with all ADAT optical outputs. RME's unsurpassed Bitclock PLL prevents clicks and drop outs even in extreme varipitch operation, and guarantees a fast and low jitter lock to the digital input signal. -

1/2 and 3/4 (S/MUX) or 1 to 8 (SMUX/4). All devices compatible to S/MUX can receive and recombine the ADI-2's data into two channels 96 kHz, like the Hammerfall, HDSP and ADI- 8 series from RME. User's Guide ADI-2 © RME... -
Page 11: Clock Section
The ADI-2's unique clock section layout makes it easy to use, easy to understand and easy to read. Additionally RME's Intelligent Clock Control (ICC) enables a flexible operation of the AD- and DA-converter with internal clock or the digital input signals. A clear display of the lock and sync state further improves the clock section's usability. -
Page 12: Noise Level In Ds / Qs Mode
When limiting the measured area to 22 kHz (audio bandpass, weighted) the value would be - 110 dB again. This can be verified even with RME's DIGICheck. Although a dBA weighted value does not include such a strong bandwidth limitation as from an audio bandpass, the displayed value of –108 dB is nearly identical to the one at 48 kHz. -
