RME now have support 192kHz sampling frequency sound card, and in function of the balance on the reached an unprecedented high.
Germany manufacturers to produce high-end sound card RME and is well-known for the converter. Launched HammerfallDSP family-two new members-HDSP9652 and HDSP9632 richer their product line. In fact, these two sound cards have many similarities, this article will be on HDSP9632 difference for highlights.
HDSP9632 was declared a "world's most versatile audio interface", it inherits the HDSP series of excellent quality and great play the HDSP system's potential. He has no 9652 so many interface, however it has stereo analog input and output, and also support from 32kHz to 192kHz's sampling rate.
The new PCI sound card support for the latest 192kHz, 24bit sampling, nominal signal to noise ratio reached the attractive 110dB. It uses up handy. All input and output (up to 16-way) can be used simultaneously, there are several optional interface type, you only need to replace the external link line. Plus expansion cards do not need to use a PCI slot, but uses the computer's back panel, or PCI-less an available PCI slot.
Obviously, for high sampling rate, the clock stability is extremely important. Use the new HDSP9632 clock protection circuit, referred to as "stable clock (SteadyClock)". This clock technology can guarantee the quality of the input signal is not damaged at the same time maximum jitter suppression. According to the nominal value, in the PLL mode (for example with external digital signal synchronization) jitter less than 1ns, whereas in the internal synchronization mode is less than 0.8ns.
Primary card compatible PCI2.1 slot, through two D-sub interface connection for audio signal transmission, while in the card's Panel, there are two ADAT optical socket. ADAT support standard 8-channel digital signal 48kHz, or 4 channel 96kHzS/MUX format signals. If necessary, you can also set the software to S/PDIF signal interface.
Two D-sub interface wiring provides all of the audio jack. Of these, the analog input/output via 15-pin d-sub interface implementation, while another 9-pin D-sub provides s/PDIF digital interface. S/PDIF digital input/output to two phono Jack, theoretically, the maximum support of sampling frequency 192kHz — but this requires higher quality digital cable. In addition, you can also select balance Canon interface connection to get AES-EBU digital interface.
In songce releases, the analog signal is transmitted by Canon interface, with a headphone output and a MIDI input and output. And the fact that Canon interface wiring is required separately, along with the card's basic configuration of non-equilibrium Lotus interface. Card input and output level can be independent of the regulation, there are three commonly used models to choose from, including the familiar + 4dBu and-10dBu standards.
HDSP9632 also has been upgraded Totalmix real-time DSP software mixer/console, providing 512 channel audio mixer control, internal precision, as well as 40bit any channel zero latency monitoring. This means that in most cases, users no longer need to add the hardware mixer. Mixer output can be independent to the stereo master output or headphone output. The latest version supports the new matrix and multiple window Windows, for example, support AC3 surround sound DVD encoding.
And as with other products in the series, "HDSP9632 support RME zero CPU usage" technology with built-in DSP chip for audio signal, not consume system resources. I am here referring to the DSP, in fact — and other products — this card using FPGA, rather than traditional DSP chip. About FPGA and traditional DSP and nonsense has been discussed too much, but RME still believe this design can offer a more flexible way.
With packing with disc provides Windows2000 and XP driver (support MME, GSIF and ASIO2.0). Official website can be updated to the latest driver version number 2.94, September 2005. Mac driver is not included on the CD, but official website to download the latest drivers, the latest version number is 1.6b. The CD includes software also Digichek and MeterBridge (see below), as well as FlashROM refresh tool and 41 page PDF user manual. It is worth mentioning that the "BIOS protection" technology ensures that once the upgrade has failed, the alternate ROM can still guarantee the sound card working properly, until EEEPROM properly refresh.
Expansion card
HDSP9632 support RME existing expansion cards (EXB) enhancements or increase the physical input output port. Standard expansion card support to 48kHz sampling rate, including AEB4I, AEB8I, AEB4O and AEB8O (each offers four or eight-way input/output), as well as provide TDIF interface of TEB expansion cards. However, in order to adapt to the high sampling rate HDSP9632, there are two new expansion card can choose. This is AI4S192 input and output cards AO4S192, both cards provide 4 TRS Jack and and the primary card itself supports 192kHz's sampling rate. The interfaces on these cards are balanced interface, and as the primary card and can be specified as three different level mode. With this two expansion cards, analog port HDSP9632 can be extended to six, and full support 24/192 standard. In order to chargeMinutes played SteadyClock, 9632 also have dedicated Word synchronous interface modules provide a two-out BNC Word synchronous interface.
Software settings
Set menu with other HDSP series cards like neat, all settings are easy to find. All settings can be changed in real time, and you can at any time from the system tray icon to bring up. The menu is divided into four parts, the first of eight buffer/delay option, separately from 1.5 to 186ms. Next is the S/PDIF input and output sources and mode settings. Then the clock and synchronization signals set, and finally enter output level adjustment and headphone level settings. The status bar at the bottom of the menu shows the current status of all kinds, including choosing the input signal, clock mode and sampling frequency, and so on, so the user could check.
With the card provides applications with scalable HDSPMeterBridge (HDSP level meter bridge) and Digicheck — a level of analysis tools, including spectral analysis, 2, 8 and 16-channel-level table (from V4.0 release started with oversampling function), phase meter, etc. Data processing by the audio card complete with DSP, these tools do not consume extra computer resources.
Easy to install HDSP9632, whether hardware or software drivers. Although I do not need to upgrade firmware (firmware), but if you have a new upgrade program announcement, update firmware, is another essential work.
Putting aside the sampling rate, from a performance and functionality perspective, this card is uncompromising. Dedicated headphone output and ADAT, S/PDIF and stereo analog port match, if these interfaces are sufficient to meet your needs, then it is worth recommending HDSP9632 audio card. But for those who need to surround sound production, add optional AI4S192 and AO4S192 expansion card, you can become a 9632 have 5.1 surround sound input and output, and all of the interfaces support 192kHz sampling rate audio card.
