1. Introduction Thank you for choosing the DIGI9652. This card is capable of transferring digital audio data directly to a computer from practically any device equipped with a digital audio interface, be it SPDIF, AES/EBU or ADAT optical. Installation is simple, even for the inexperienced user, thanks to the latest Plug and Play technology and full interrupt-sharing. The numerous unique features and well thought-out configuration dialogue puts the DIGI9652 at the very top of the range of digital audio interface cards. The package includes drivers for Windows (98/NT/2000/XP) and MacOS. An ALSA driver for Linux or Unix is also available (see chapter 7.4). Our high-performance philosophy guarantees maximum system performance by executing all functions directly in hardware and not in the driver (i.e. the CPU). 2. Package Contents Please check that your DIGI9652 package contains each of the following: • DIGI9652 PCI card • 9652 expansion board • Quick Info guide • RME Driver CD • Adapter cable (D-type to D-type/phono) • Internal cable (2-core) • Flat ribbon cable (10-core) • 2 optical cable (TOSLINK), 2 m (6.6 ft) 3. System Requirements • Windows 98/NT/2000/XP, MacOS or Linux • A free PCI rev. 2.1 Busmaster slot • For word clock and third ADAT I/O: An unused slot in the rear panel of the computer 4. Brief Description and Characteristics • PCI Busmaster interface with additional burst FIFO • Hammerfall design: 0% (zero!) CPU load, even using all 52 ASIO channels • All settings can be changed in real-time • Enhanced mixed mode: ADAT In, SPDIF In, and all outputs can be used simultaneously • 8 available buffer sizes/latencies: 1.5 / 3 / 6 / 12 / 23 / 46 / 93 / 186 ms • Sample Split technology for 12 channel, 96 kHz/24-bit record/playback via ADAT optical • Slave and master clock modes • Automatic and intelligent master/slave clock control • Unsurpassed Bitclock PLL (audio synchronization) in ADAT mode • Word clock input and output • ADAT Sync in (9-pin D-type) for sample-accurate transfer • Zero Latency Monitoring: Hardware bypass per track, controlled by Punch in/out • Enhanced ZLM prevents noises during asynchronous full duplex transfer • SyncAlign guarantees sample aligned and never swapping channels • SyncCheck tests and reports the synchronization status of input signals • Full interrupt-sharing User’s Guide DIGI9652 © RME 3
