Connect - to insert, merge and extend.

Connecting the XTC to other MADI devices is simple: in our example, connect the output of the MADIface XT to the input 
of the OctaMic XTC in order to send remote control and clocking information. Then, connect the output of the OctaMic 
XTC to the input of the MADIface XT to receive audio. You’re all set! The MADIface XT can now receive the signals of 
the OctaMic XTC, including its microphone preamps, ADAT and AES3 inputs and even up to 24 audio channels from an 
attached iOS device. Got an older ADAT or AES3 preamp? You can attach that to the OctaMic XTC too. 

iPad®

The Octamic XTC is the first MADI device compatible to 
Class Compliant USB Audio. That means that you can 
connect it to your Apple iPad® Camera Connection Kit and 
integrate your favorite audio apps - such as synthesizers 
and multitrack recorders. You can record and play back up 
to 24 channels of audio - from and to any signal source 
that’s connected to the XTC - analog, AES/EBU, ADAT or 
MADI. 

Headphones

Headphone outputs are rare on microphone preamps, 
but they are useful. Remember TotalMix FX on the 
previous page? A microphone signal  going from the 
OctaMic microphone input via MADI to the MADIface 
XT, adding some reverb and returning to the headphone 
outputs takes about the same amount of time that sound 

MADI - from a microphone’s point of view

RME offers two microphone preamplifiers with MADI - the flagship model 

Micstasy

 and the 

OctaMic XTC

. Its eight 

microphone and line inputs, four switchable to Hi-Z mode, meet an unrivaled variety of digital connection options - from 
common ADAT and AES/EBU to sophisticated 64-channel MADI optical. This device fits virtually anywhere into your existing 
setup and is the perfect entry point to larger MADI systems.

Compared to the new XTC the 

Micstasy

 excels with

+30 dBu universal inputs, 85 dB Gain range - in steps of 
0.5 dB, separated instrument inputs, faster AutoSet gain 
reduction, analog high-pass filters, additional coaxial 
MADI connectors, MADI redundancy, one-look-see-it-all 
front design and eight pure analog preamp outputs.

needs to travel in air over a distance of 25 cm, even if 
you’re running 2000m of MADI cable in between. Your 
musicians will love it - they play better with less delay in 
their monitoring. Each pair of headphones can monitor 
any pair of audio channels that the OctaMic XTC receives.
