Classic Rupert Neve
At the heart of the RND RMP-D8 are modular mic preamp cards featuring Rupert Neve's renowned custom transformer designs. Many other integrated Dante mic preamp designs rely primarily on a single integrated circuit for gain and tone. Not the RMP-D8. Each channel of the RMP-D8 sports a complete Class A mic preamplifier feeding a custom transformer — just like Rupert Neve Designs' standalone preamplifiers.
Mastering-grade conversion
Many combination devices incorporate converters of a quality that makes them seem like an afterthought. Not the RMP-D8. Its 24-bit/192kHz converters are the result of years of meticulous research and listening tests — and RND's formidable design expertise. Precision-controlled internal clocking and enhanced jitter reduction enable the RMP-D8's exceptional mic preamplifiers to capture the full impact and every nuance of a performance. With the RMP-D8, you can be assured that there is no weak link in your audio path.
The new Dante standard of excellence
The RMP-D8 brings the legendary sound of Rupert Neve Designs into the world of modern Dante connectivity. The RMP-D8's audio signal is compatible with any Dante device across applications ranging from concert halls to stadiums, clubs, recording and broadcast studios, houses of worship, and educational facilities. The RMP-D8 is built tour-tough with a rugged, reinforced-steel chassis for enhanced RF shielding and redundant power supplies capable of worldwide operation.
