RME Digiface Dante 256-Channel USB 3.0 Dante/MADI Audio Interface

The RME Digiface Dante is a powerful and compact digital audio interface designed to unite Dante, MADI, and USB 3.0 formats into one versatile system, giving you up to 256 channels of pristine, low-latency digital connectivity for professional recording, broadcast, and live production environments.

Whether you’re routing, converting, or mixing multiple digital sources, the Digiface Dante ensures maximum flexibility, ultra-stable performance, and world-class reliability, hallmarks of RME’s engineering.

Powerful Connectivity

The Digiface Dante provides:

• 4 × RJ45 Ethernet ports for Dante connections supporting 100 Mb/s and 1 Gb/s, configurable in Switched or Redundancy modes.
• 2 × BNC connectors for MADI I/O or Word Clock.
• 1 × ¼” headphone output for direct monitoring or analog stereo mixdown.
• USB 3.0 port (backward compatible with USB 2.0) for Mac and Windows, supporting up to 256 total channels of Dante/MADI I/O.

The interface can be bus-powered via USB, but for optimal performance with all four Dante ports and the headphone output active, the included power supply is recommended.

Flexible Operation

Operate the Digiface Dante as a USB interface or use it standalone as a 64-channel Dante/MADI converter, ideal for system integration and networked audio setups.

Switch between Master and Slave clock modes, with clock sources including MADI, Dante, or Internal, providing full synchronization flexibility in complex digital environments.
