Designed for uncompromising audio quality, the new model combines state-of-the-art ESS converter technology, high-precision clock architecture, and extensive routing and monitoring functions in a compact desktop format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a versatile reference mastering hub, the ADI-2\/4 Pro EX functions simultaneously as a high-quality A\/D and D\/A converter, USB audio interface, and powerful headphone amplifier. The EX version extends the proven concept with numerous technical improvements that appeal to both professional recording studios and demanding hi-fi and headphone enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNew EX Generation with Optimized Hardware\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new EX version utilizes modernized ESS converter generations for even better measurements and maximum transparency. The new ESS9823Pro A\/D converter significantly improves signal-to-noise ratio and THD+N values, ensuring precise analog-to-digital conversion at a reference level. At the same time, the ESS9039Q2M D\/A converter delivers further optimized values for SNR, THD, and THD+N for particularly detailed and natural playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother focus is on increased operational reliability. The new channel-independent DC protection circuit reliably protects connected headphones from DC voltage errors. This is complemented by an active, fuse-less power supply protection circuit that automatically detects and prevents incorrect polarity and overvoltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eModernized Connections and Flexible Integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new lockable USB-C port ensures a secure and reliable connection in studio and desktop operation. Despite the modern USB-C design, the interface remains fully USB 2.0 compatible. A suitable 1.8-meter cable is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to the new GND screw, the ADI-2\/4 Pro EX can now be integrated even more easily into analog hi-fi and vinyl setups. Turntables or external devices can be directly grounded to effectively avoid ground loops and interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the device is fully compatible with the new RM19-III Rackmount Kits and can therefore be easily integrated into professional 19-inch environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSteadyClock EX for Maximum Precision\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the advanced SteadyClock EX technology, the ADI-2\/4 Pro EX achieves exceptionally precise clock stability. Each device is calibrated at the factory to a sample rate accuracy of ±1 ppm. Additionally, the internal menu allows for fine-tuning of the clock by ±50 ppm in 0.1 ppm steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis allows the internal clock to be precisely matched to other devices even without external synchronization – ideal for professional studio and mastering environments with complex digital setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExtended Analog Functions and Vinyl Optimization\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRME has specifically extended the application possibilities of the ADI-2\/4 Pro EX for high-quality analog and vinyl applications. The extended Ref Levels up to -35 dBu now also allow for direct connection of dynamic microphones and additional professional use cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticularly interesting for vinyl enthusiasts: the integrated RIAA equalization is now also available in pure line mode with 0 dB gain. This allows external phono preamps or MC systems to be integrated much more flexibly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the balanced input impedance can be switched between 94 kOhm and 47 kOhm, allowing optimal matching of MM cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlexible Monitoring and Professional Routing Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe internal routing has also been expanded. For example, ADAT channels 3\/4 can now be used directly as a source for the headphone output. This opens up additional possibilities for individual monitoring, professional workflows, and complex studio applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of reference converter, powerful headphone amplifier, flexible signal processing, and uncompromising precision makes the ADI-2\/4 Pro EX one of the most versatile audio tools in its class.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RME","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53112240308490,"sku":null,"price":1999.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/5340\/0586\/files\/rme_ad-2-4_pro_ex.png?v=1779878457","url":"https:\/\/hifi.shop\/en\/products\/rme-adi-2-4-pro-ex","provider":"Hifi \u0026 Friends GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
