RME

RME is a German professional-audio maker whose business, by co-founder Matthias Carstens's own account, began in 1996 as a spin-off from a DIY converter project published in the electronics magazine ELRAD. Founded with DSP designer Ralf Männel and operating out of Haimhausen near Munich under Audio AG, it builds audio interfaces, format converters and preamps around its own FPGA designs — a choice it credits for long firmware support — and is known in studios for driver stability and low latency rather than for hi-fi styling. The ADI-2 DAC FS is its one deliberate crossover into home audio.
