RPM-TB248/48
The RPM-TB248/48 I/O is the first stand alone, turn-key 48-channel AES50 I/O solution to be offered to the Midas Community. Thru the RPM-TB248/48 I/O, RPM Dynamics is now capable of offering Midas digital console users the ability to integrate Midas Digital I/O directly to any Thunderbolt equipped computer.
Whether your need for AES50 communication is for recording, playback, virtual sound-checks, or plug-in integration to an existing Midas Console, the RPM-TB48 I/O can provide for your needs. The RPM-TB248/48 I/O is also capable of interfacing up to 16 channels of AES/EBU i/O via additional d-sub cabling. The RPM-TB48 I/O works on most any application or DAW that utilizes standard MAC core audio, making it a simple plug-and –play device after initial computer setup has been done.

Hardware Requirements
The RPM-TB248/48 I/O channel count for recording, playback, and plug-in integration is dependent on the computer hardware it is attached to. For 48-channel playback / record, RPM recommends a minimum of 2.3Gig i5 Thunderbolt equipped Macs with 8GB of RAM & FW800 or Thunderbolt 7200 / 64Meg external drives. For Plug-in applications, processing needs are higher. Processing power and buffering will be relative to the both the number of plug-ins running and the processing needs of the plug-ins.
