User’s Guide OctaMic II © RME

1. Introduction

The OctaMic II's innovative concept allows for amplification and digitization of ALL analog signal

sources. Be it high-level stage signals, typical studio signals, lower level and high-impedance

instruments, or dynamic, condenser or ribbon microphones: OctaMic II understands them all –

in a way that is simply thrilling.

When developing the OctaMic II we used all our experience, and also the experience of our

customers, to create a unique, excellent and high-quality unit. As successor of the OctaMic D

the device offers the approved quality of its predecessor, adding lots of improvements in detail.
