RME Digiface Ravenna USB Audio Interface
The RME Digiface Ravenna is a portable USB audio interface for RAVENNA and AES67 networks, with 128 network channels and 64 channels of coaxial MADI at 48 kHz.
RAVENNA, AES67, and Network Ports
Its RAVENNA module supports AES67 and ST 2110-30 and -31, with redundant audio-over-IP streaming to ST 2022-7. It handles 32 streams, and the four Gigabit Ethernet ports run in switched mode or as two redundant pairs. The module is configured through a browser interface or over NMOS IS-04 and IS-05.
At 96 kHz the module carries 64 channels and MADI carries 32. At 192 kHz the counts drop to 32 and 16.
MADI, Word Clock, and Stand-Alone Use
The two BNC sockets carry word clock in and out or switch to coaxial MADI. Without a computer, the Digiface Ravenna works as a 64-channel RAVENNA to MADI converter in both directions, powered by the included supply, a USB wall adapter, or a USB battery.
Headphone Output, Power, and Mixing
The headphone output monitors any channel and can serve as a line output for an analog stereo mix. USB 3 bus power usually runs the interface, and the included 12 V supply keeps it stable when all four network ports and the headphones draw more current. On a USB 2 port the channel count drops to 64, with no MADI.
TotalMix FX mixes and routes every input and playback channel to any output, with a Control Room section, talkback, and Mackie or OSC remote control. This interface has no DSP effects such as EQ or reverb. TotalMix Remote controls the mixer from an iPad or another computer.
