RME M-32 DA Pro II
High-end 32-channel, 192 kHz
DA converter with MADI and AVB
The M-32 Pro II series is designed to meet the high demands of professional studios, immersive sound reinforcement, live sound systems and industrial applications that require reliable analog conversion with high-quality network audio processing. The new converters are available with 32 analog inputs or outputs and a choice of Dante® or AVB in four different models.
With up to 32 channels, fully featured MADI I/Os, improved specifications with extremely low THD values, intelligent channel routing, and innovative ease-of-use the all-new M-32 Pro II series represents the state of the art in exceptional audio performance.

- Word Clock I/O (BNC)
- USB 2.0 (for remote control)
- 2 x monitored fully redundant internal PSU
The ultimate solution for modern productions
The M-32 Pro series was designed with the goal of building a 32-channel converter that can be considered reference class on both the input and output sides. To meet this high standard, the M-32 Pro II combines fully balanced signal routing with high-quality audio components. This is complemented by years of experience in analog circuit design. The result is a multi-channel converter with a remarkable dynamic range of 120 dB(A) on all channels.
Analog Line Level Performance
A special feature of the M-32 Pro II series is the individual switching of single channels to different reference levels (+13/+19/+24dBu) while maintaining excellent audio characteristics. In particular, the provision of +24dBu enables full integration into demanding broadcast environments as well as analog studios with high channel requirements.
Easy and versatile to operate
Quite "analog", but almost indispensable in daily practice, is the combination of level displays and channel labeling fields. The enclosed foils can be used to design individual channel displays and securely fasten them behind a magnetic cover. This way, the user always has a perfect overview of the channel assignment.
AVB Audio Networking - Two fully redundant network connections
In addition to two MADI I/Os including separate signal routing, the new M-32 DA Pro II and M-32 AD Pro II feature an AVB interface based on the open network standards IEEE 802. 1 and 1722.1 and allows transmission of 32 analog channels with up to 192 kHz sampling rate over a single Ethernet cable. When used in conjunction with external AVB switches, the new M-Series converters can be quickly, easily and reliably integrated into more complex network structures thanks to the extensive time-synchronous signal processing of the AVB protocol.
The AVB models transmit and receive up to 128 channels at 48 kHz (96 @ 96kHz, 64 @ 192k- Hz) and are fully controllable and configurable via ATDECC (IEEE 1722.1). This enables seamless integration into deterministic AVB networks.
RME provides an AVB device with two fully redundant network ports, based on recommendations from MILAN™. The RME AVB core consistently implements IEEE standards for audio streaming, discovery and control, allowing RME devices to be both discovered and fully controlled by any AVB controller, and making vendor-specific control protocols a thing of the past.
Continuous updates and extensions
RME has always seen itself as a manufacturer with a sustainable product philosophy. The entire product family benefits from continuous updates and enhancements long after its market launch. For example, since the launch of the first M-32 Pro converters, not only has the web interface been developed from scratch, but compatibility with the MILAN™ standard has also been realized via software update. The new M-32 Pro II converters are also subject to continuous further development and are thus a secure investment in the future.
