MADI-AVB Conversion Plus Superior Analog I/O

With support for AVB and MADI, the RME AVB Tool is a smart solution for interfacing with your digital audio network. Thanks to analog inputs for microphones and line-level signals, you'll be able to inject high-quality audio from anywhere on your network. And with its monitoring outputs for speakers and headphones, the AVB Tool allows for critical monitoring of your entire audio network — impressive capabilities indeed for a diminutive, half-rack interface. Whether you're converting MADI to AVB, monitoring streams from your network, or injecting audio into your network, we are sure you'll be impressed with the RME AVB Tool.

Supports 8-Stream Gigabit AVB

The RME AVB Tool is a highly advanced solution for AVB networking. The RME AVB core offers eight streams in AM824 or AAF formats — and you have full control over the size and format on a per-stream basis. In total, you'll be able to send and receive up to 128 audio channels across all streams.

Front-panel preamp inputs for fast plug 'n' play operation

While the AVB Tool's networking capabilities are advanced indeed, you can get up and running and keep your signals in check without any external control. The front panel display gives you fast visual indication of what your signal levels are up to, and you can adjust gain levels with just a button press and a knob turn. With connectivity for mic-level, line-level, and even instrument-level signals, we can confirm this is a versatile preamp for all sorts of recording, broadcast, and live sound applications.
