RME presents the world's most versatile PCI Audio Interface - the Hammerfall DSP 9632. This card makes the dream of an All-In-One solution for every possible application come true. As usual, RME has not made any compromises: Latest 192 kHz AD- and DA-converters with more than 110 dB signal to noise ratio, all inputs and outputs simultaneously operational, easy-to-install optional hi-quality analog expansion boards, the famous TotalMix, a newly developed sensational clock section with maximum jitter suppression of external clock signals - all this combines into a 'soundcard' that the world has been waiting for so long.

The HDSP 9632 offers balanced stereo input and output, ADAT & S/PDIF I/O and MIDI I/O.

The HDSP 9632 also supports the addition of optional expansion audio expansion PCI boards from RME as well, giving your computer-based system more I/O options than just about any other format on the market!
