First unveiled at NAMM 2020, the M-1610 Pro combines the powerful conversion of the M-32 Pro AD and DA into a single 1U device. Alongside the pristine conversion quality, the M-1610 Pro also offers extensive digital connectivity and offers a lower-cost alternative for studio and live recording setups that require the utmost in audio precision.
Expanding RME’s selection of professional network audio devices, the M-1610 Pro features the same AVB network functionality as RME’s recent 12Mic and AVB Tool microphone preamps, allowing for seamless next-generation audio networking via the Audio Video Bridging specification, as well as providing MADI-based systems with additional audiophile-level I/O for high-end multi-channel recording, mixing and monitoring.
The M-1610 Pro comprises 16 line level inputs with 8 line level outputs and dedicated stereo headphone outputs, as well as ADAT and MADI connections. Coaxial MADI is available as standard on the M-1610 Pro, but optical connection is available with the addition of an SFP module which is avilable in both single and multimode. What's more, these MADI connections can operate independently or together as part of a redundant system.

So would this be compatible with a ufx 2 via adat to increase the number of physical recording inputs for tracking? Or better off using a ferrofish?

@SynthaxAudioUK 7 ай бұрын

Either would be compatible! The RME M-1610 Pro would have better conversion than say a Pulse 16 perhaps, but that's not to say the Ferrofish isn't a good option. Budget is worth considering too, with the Pulse 16 being more cost effective than the M-1610 Pro. It's also worth thinking about whether you might need the analogue outputs in the future too, as the M-1610 Pro only has 10 whilst the Pulse 16 features 16. Hope this helps!

What an amazing interface. Do i have it right they have audio over AVB .3ms in windows? Would I just need ethernet port from the 1610 to my PC?

Thanks for your comment Mike! In terms of latency RME’s AVB devices can indeed be configured as low as 0.3ms, although this will usually need to be increased as more devices are attached to the network. Would I just need ethernet port from the 1610 to my PC? Only if your PC's ethernet port supports AVB. You will also need an AVB-capable network switch if you want to connect more than one AVB device. Some additional info for you; An AVB-capable network card (or audio interface) is required, as a PC’s standard ethernet port will not support AVB. For this reason RME developed the RME Digiface AVB, which is an AVB / USB audio interface with Mac and Windows support, and adds an additional layer of control via RME’s TotalMix FX software controller. MAC OS has native AVB support (with supported ethernet ports), so in theory there is no need for the Digiface AVB. We'd still recommend using a Digiface AVB even with a Mac however, as Mac OS’s AVB implementation is a bit mixed in terms of its reliability. A standard AVB setup is therefore as follows; 1 - Mac or PC with AVB-capable network card or audio interface (e.g. Digiface AVB) 2 - AVB-capable network switch (for connecting multiple devices) 3 - AVB Devices (RME M-1610 Pro, RME 12Mic etc) I hope this answers your question. Don’t forget you also have MADI on the M-1610 Pro, so it’s still easy to implement one into existing recording setups even without using AVB.

If I already own the the Adi-2 fs pro but need more analogue in/out for my gear, would you recommend this or M32

@SynthaxAudioUK Жыл бұрын

Hi Tommy, both the M-1610 Pro and M-32 Pros use the same converters so it really just depends how many channels you need, sound quality is the same. The M-1610 Pro is nice if you need a combined device I/O in only 1U. If you have the budget and need the higher channel count, a pair of M-32 Pro AD and DA is the way to go.

Hello Synthax Audio UK ! Please tell me, in the past when AD-DA converter did not have a USB port, the signal had to go through the USB interface and then to the computer, but today AD-DA ( RME 1610 pro, lynx 8/16 USB... ) has a built-in USB port, so we can skip the interface too? So here, when I want to connect to the computer with cubase software with only 1610 Pro via USB cable, is it ok? Can Cubase then accept 1610 as an audio interface? Thank you very much!

@SynthaxAudioUK 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there! The USB connection on the M-1610 Pro is designed for firmware updates and remote control, it doesn't pass audio. So you would still need an audio interface to connect to Cubase. Hope this helps!

@@SynthaxAudioUK Thank you very much! maybe this is sad news for me, now i have a friend who is using lynx 16 usb, and for lynx no more interface needed i was hoping for the same thing for lynx RME 1610 Pro, when I read information about USB on RME at sweet, I was startled, and went looking for information about 1610. Thank you again, if so sorry, I'll go look for another model, even though I'm a big fan of RME, or can you recommend me another RME AD-DA model that has similar features lynx (n) 16 USB ! Thank you

Will this be upgradable to a DANTE version via a firmware update?

@SynthaxAudioUK 2 жыл бұрын

It's not possible to upgrade the M-1610 Pro to Dante unfortunately. However, the developers at RME are always working on new products, we'll pass that idea on to them!

@derberg96 Жыл бұрын

You can use the Presonus AVB-D16 to control AVB-Hardware into a Dante Network. Of course it has some restrictions (16x16 channels and only up to 48 khz Clock). Would be nice, if RME is launching a product like this also :)

so how do you connect the web controller to total mix?

@SynthaxAudioUK 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, the web remote itself doesn't currently integrate with TotalMix as such, since it's just a controller for the M-1610 Pro. It's main function is to provide an easier method of controlling the M-1610 Pro (in comparison with the front panel), as well as allowing for remote control. For example, you can use the web remote to route all of the M-1610 Pro's analogue inputs to it's ADAT outputs, then use ADAT cables to connect these channels to an RME interface. Once connected to the RME interface via ADAT (or MADI or AVB), the signal from each of the M-1610 Pro's input channels will show up in the corresponding inputs in TotalMix FX (top row).

@@SynthaxAudioUK gotcha. I see the unit has 4 adat ouputs. How does one run the signal from the daw without adat inputs? Is the routing just going to be weird from the web controller when connecting to totalmix?

@SXTWLVE 2 жыл бұрын

@@SynthaxAudioUK for example instead of having the routing from the daw go through adat 1, would i have to send it to analog 1 then have the web gui make the output adat 1 in order to come back digitally to then connect it to totalmix

@@SXTWLVE Hi yeah it’s a good question. I think the simple answer is that the M-1610 Pro is primarily intended to be used for MADI and AVB setups. There aren’t any ADAT inputs as you quite rightly note - I believe the developers included ADAT outs just to give a bit more flexibility in the connectivity, as well an additional option for clocking. If you want to send audio from a DAW back to the M-1610 Pro, you could do this via analogue (e.g. interface’s analogue outputs > M-1610’s analogue inputs). Providing your interface also has high quality analogue I/O I can’t see that causing any problems. However, by far the easiest method is to simply use MADI, which is basically like a 64 channel version of ADAT. This gives you access to all of the M-1610 Pro’s analogue inputs and outputs, plus you can daisy-chain multiple units (or other MADI devices). This is the method I’d personally recommend. Alternatively you could also use AVB, although AVB only really makes sense for larger setups (as it also requires an AVB-capable network switch).

@@SynthaxAudioUK got it. So I have the UFX+ so I would could technically connect the madi there I assume. And avb to my network
