24-bit/96 kHz ASIO Drivers for DIGI96 Card

The DIGI96

Besides ASIO, the Windows MME driver also includes many enhancements. The settings dialog is directly accessible through the systray (no need to struggle with the device manager anymore), and shows the settings of all DIGI96 series cards installed in the system. Each card gets its own sheet and number. An additional sheet called ASIO allows to choose the bit resolution and latency in ASIO mode.

Since driver version 2.1, the DIGI96 series has supported Direct Sound (DirectX). This allows a super low latency operation with realtime software synthesizers, like Gigasampler, Rebirth or Generator. RME's DIGI96 series is the world's first professional digital audio card including Direct Sound support.

Also new is the WCM (Word Clock Module), a small companion board to RME's DIGI96/8 PRO, which adds a word clock input and output to this powerful digital interface card. Both connectors are BNC jacks, so there's no trouble with adapters. The module includes a low jitter optimized PLL for a reliable reconstruction of the audio clock signal, a low impedance output and a complete word clock generator, useable as master clock or for test and check purposes. The WCM is connected to the DIGI96/8 PRO using two supplied cables. The drivers of the DIGI96/8 PRO are already prepared for an operation with the WCM. LED's for power, test mode and LOCK plus the highly integrated concept of installation, first operation and usage result in an easy and uncomplicated handling.

Manufacturer suggested retail price for the WCM: 199 DM (102 EUR).

RME is looking for distributors in the Canada and US area for the DIGI96 series of digital interface cards, the ADI series of AD/DA converters, and the DAM-1, the unique digital audio monitor.
