ADI-2 FS  © RME

 

 

To  maintain  the  full  dynamic  range  within  the  best  operating  level,  RME's  ADI-2  FS

 

includes 

electronic switches, which give control over input and output level via two keys from the front 
plate, for a perfect adaptation to the 4 dBu, +13 dBu and +19 dBu. Two compact level 
meters provide 6 LEDs each. Multiple brightness stages and peak hold functionality make read-
ing and adjusting input levels easy and convenient. 
 
The ADI-2 FS provides all sample rates between 32 kHz and 192 kHz. The unique Intelligent 
Clock Control technology (ICC) offers a flexible operation with internal clock and the digital input 
signals.  Furthermore,  RME's  SteadyClock  technology  guarantees  exceptional  performance  in 
all  clock  modes.  Thanks  to  a  highly  efficient  jitter  suppression,  the  AD-  and  DA-conversion 
always  operates  on  highest  sonic  level,  being  completely  independent  from  the  quality  of  the 
incoming clock signal. 
 

 

4. Power Supply 

 
In  order  to  make  operating  the  ADI-2  FS  as  flexible  as  possible,  the  unit  has  a  universal  DC 
input socket, accepting voltages from 6 Volts* up to 15 Volts. An internal switching regulator of 
the  latest  technology  with  high  efficiency  (>  90%)  prevents  internal  hum  noise  by  operating 
above  audible  frequencies.  Internally  this  regulator  feeds  further  high.efficiency  switching 
regulators and super low-noise linear regulators. Therefore the ADI-2 FS achieves its technical 
specs even with less optimal power supplies. Or in other words: the choice of power supply is 
not critical. 
 
Still the unit includes a high-quality switching power supply, 12 V / 2 A, which not only accepts 
any  mains  voltage  between  100  V  and  240  V  (usable  world-wide),  but  is  also  fully  regulated 
against voltage fluctuations and suppresses line noise. Additionally it only weights 150 g in spite 
of its high power of 24 Watts. 
 
The  DC  input  of  the  ADI-2  FS  also  allows  for  the  use  of  a  rechargeable  lead-battery  or  LiPo 
instead of a power supply, for completely independent mobile operation and ground isolation. A 
matching  connection  cable  (power  jack  to  terminals  6.3  mm)  is  available  from  RME.  Special 
power  banks  in  the  range  of  10,000  mAh and up can be found equipped with a 12 V output. 
These offer a perfect solution for mobility as well as ground isolated operation, for small money. 
 
*  The  highly  efficient,  internal  switching  power  supply  actually  enables  operation of the ADI-2 
FS from 6 Volts. When used with batteries or rechargeable batteries, but also with other power 
supplies  (e.g.  9  Volts),  there  is  a  very  low  switch-off  threshold  and  thus  high  operational 
reliability. In continuous operation, however, the typical operating voltage should not fall below 9 
volts. An overvoltage fuse is activated if the operating voltage exceeds 15 Volts. Since the fuse 
may be destroyed, input voltages higher than 15 Volts must be avoided.
