The RPM allows for the connection of 2 turntables or 2 line-sources (CD, DVD, sampler etc.) and a microphone to a desktop or laptop computer. A total of 5 independent inputs are routed to 2 stereo outputs plus a separate headphone output, which lets you monitor any of the in- and outputs at any time via TotalMix, RME's unique DSP based mixer. External devices can be connected via MIDI I/O to communicate with any adequate audio software. RME's outstanding Low Latency and Zero CPU technology, both not possible via USB, have made the products of the Hammerfall DSP series world-famous.
The RPM follows this road by offering the best possible performance via PCI technology with PCI card or CardBus card as basic interface. RME's low latency drivers for PC and Mac offer excellent performance with any professional DJ-tool such as BPMStudio or Traktor, at latencies down to 1.5 ms and full ASIO 2.0, GSIF and MME (Wave) support. The RPM's driver provides 12 playback channels. These can be routed and mixed freely to the existing 6 hardware outputs using TotalMix. Since this technology allows for the simultaneous use of several software clients (multi-client mode), you can run up to 8 audio programs playing audio on separate playback channels. RME's Hammerfall DSP series comes with DIGICheck - an unrivalled analyzing tool for your computer. It can run either stand-alone or in parallel to any application, displaying input and output signals in various ways and in real-time. DIGICheck comprises several professional level meters, a 30-band analyzer, a goniometer (vector scope), as well as various digital analysis tools. Any of these can be engaged at the same time and in multiple instances. All inputs and outputs are internally processed by high quality AD/DA-converters operating at 110 dB signal/noise ratio. The extremely low jitter on the internal clock results in a superb 24 bit conversion from 32 up to 96 kHz
