OctaMic XTC
8-Channel 192 kHz Digitally controlled Mic Preamp
with Multi-Format I/O
OctaMic XTC
The OctaMic XTC offers 8-channel 192 kHz / 24-bit AD
conversion with eight high class microphone and line/
instrument pre-amplification inputs in excellent RME
quality. Lowest distortion, excellent signal to noise
ratio and perfect linear frequency response allow for
unchanged transmission and amplification of the
microphone signals.
OctaMic XTC provides 4 balanced XLR mic/line inputs and 4
balanced XLR mic/instrument inputs via Neutrik XLRs/TRS
combo jacks. Frontside keys give quick and direct access to the
most often used functions, perfectly visualized on an easy to
read TFT-display.
The 8-channel AD- and 4 channel DA-conversion of the OctaMic
XTC operates at up to 192 kHz. The digitized signal is available
simultaneously at the double ADAT output (S/MUX), a D-sub 25
connector (4 AES/EBU outputs) and MADI optical. Using Mac
OS X, or an iPad™ up to 24 I/Os can also be used via USB.
RME’s outstanding SteadyClock™ ensures perfect AD/DAconversion, as jitter on the external sync sources is nearly
completely removed. The digital inputs and outputs can be
used simultaneously to the AD/DA conversion. Sophisticated
routing options turn the OctaMic XTC into an AD/DA-converter with multiple digital outputs of different formats, as well as
a digital format converter between ADAT, AES and MADI, and
also a signal inserter/extractor for serialized MADI setups.
Equipped with the latest professional AD-converters, the
OctaMic XTC excels with super low noise, super low THD, and
super low latency conversion (< 0.26 ms).
Quick Control. Each input channel pair features a direct select
button for quick access of the input gains, which can then be
set immediately with the encoder knobs 1 and 2.
Clear State. Dedicated LEDs for present signal, overload, phantom power and PAD/instrument mode for every input channel
are accompanied by detailed metering on the color display.
Monitoring. Two high power TRS stereo line/phones outputs
provide high volume operating with high and low impedance
headphones. The source of these analog outputs can be
chosen between all signals handled by the XTC.
MIDI remote control is available via 2 standard MIDI DIN jacks,
MIDI over MADI and USB.
Digital synchronization is achieved through all digital inputs
and Word Clock.
Digital I/O. The XTC has all common digital formats on board:
AES/EBU, ADAT optical and MADI optical, for inputs and
outputs. The USB-port also serves as firmware updater tool
under Windows and Mac. On Mac OS X and with the iPad it
turns the XTC into a 24-channel audio interface.
Analog Inputs. The XTC has eight high end, digitally controlled
microphone preamps. Four of them feature PAD for input
levels up to +32 dBu. The other four can be switched to Hi-Z
mode to directly connect instruments. All TRS connections are
phantom power-free. The outstanding design of the input
circuits provides a stunning gain range of 85 dB, making the
XTC compatible to whatever source is attached to its inputs.
