RME ADI-2 Pro EX 768kHz AD/DA Converter Headphone Amplifier & Audio Interface

RME's ADI-2 Pro EX 768kHz is a professional AD/DA converter and headphone amplifier built for recording studios, mastering facilities, and critical listening environments. This desktop reference converter combines analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue conversion with an integrated headphone amp, eliminating the need for separate components. The redesigned chassis enhances output performance and hardware protection while maintaining the comprehensive functionality that made its predecessor the studio standard.

The ADI-2 Pro EX handles audio up to 768kHz via USB, AES/EBU, and S/PDIF connectivity. Analogue inputs and outputs are electronically balanced on XLR connectors with up to +26 dBu output level capability. The headphone amp delivers 2 × 4.7 watts into 32 ohms, sufficient for professional monitoring sessions. A front-panel headphone jack, rear analogue I/O, and digital connectivity allow flexible studio integration. The unit includes comprehensive metering, a low-latency direct monitoring path, and extensive onboard processing for reference listening across multiple monitoring scenarios.

Studio engineers and mastering professionals benefit from the ADI-2 Pro EX's transparent signal path and proven reliability across thousands of professional installations. The combination of high-resolution conversion, robust analogue output stage, and integrated headphone amplification makes it a single–box solution for tracking, mixing, and mastering workflows where conversion quality directly impacts the final product.
