The 12Mic from RME is a professional-grade microphone preamp that offers pristine sound quality and extensive network connectivity. With 12 studio-grade microphone preamps, integrated MADI and AVB digital network ports and SteadyClock FS technology for rock-solid clocking, the 12Mic provides an uncompromising signal path for the most discerning engineers and producers.

Twelve Transparent Preamps for Exceptional Sound

The 12Mic features 12 high-quality microphone preamps with 75dB of gain and can handle input levels up to +18dBu, providing plenty of headroom for a wide range of microphones. The preamps offer a low noise floor and wide dynamic range for capturing all the subtle details and nuances in your recordings. The first four channels also feature Hi-Z inputs for direct recording of electric guitars and basses.

Robust Digital Network Connectivity

The 12Mic provides extensive digital connectivity options with integrated MADI and AVB network ports. The MADI ports support coaxial and optical connections for low-latency, high-channel-count digital transfers, perfect for interfacing with digital consoles and recording systems. The AVB network ports are fully compliant with the AVB/Milan protocol for discovering and controlling the 12Mic over an Ethernet network with guaranteed bandwidth and fixed latency.

SteadyClock FS for Pristine Sound

At the heart of the 12Mic is RME's SteadyClock FS technology, which provides a low jitter master clock for all digital components. SteadyClock FS ensures that the 12Mic's AD/DA converters are clocked with extreme precision for superior sound quality, improved stereo imaging and reduced distortion. With SteadyClock FS, you can rest assured that your recordings will capture all the depth, clarity and detail of the original performance.

A Plethora of Features for Professional Use

The 12Mic is packed with useful features for studio and live sound applications including headphone outputs with integrated monitor matrix and USB remote control.
