Up to 2 km between two devices<br />&nbsp; and you can chain the devices in a serial fashion.</p><p>You need to look whats your preference and what gives you most advantages.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi Tomas, welcome to the RME user forum.</p><p>Both devices have AES I/O, so, where is the problem? <img src="https://forum.rme-audio.de/img/smilies/wink.png" width="15" height="15" alt="wink" /><br />Connect AES OUT with AES IN on the other device; that&#039;s it.<br />Configure the XT II as clock master and the ADI-2 Pro FS as clock slave (receiving clock from AES in).</p><p>If the devices are standing close to each other, you can simply connect the plugs of the breakout cables.<br />Otherwise, use a digital cable with 110 ohms.<br />Mic cables also work on short distances, which has been mentioned several times in the forum.</p><p>Regarding the Ferrofish, no problem.<br />You only need to choose the proper multimode cables.</p><p>Some more information on this topic can be found here:<br /><a href="https://forum.rme-audio.de/viewtopic.php?pid=250349#p250349">https://forum.rme-audio.de/viewtopic.ph … 49#p250349</a><br /><a href="https://forum.rme-audio.de/viewtopic.php?pid=250362#p250362">https://forum.rme-audio.de/viewtopic.ph … 62#p250362</a></p><p>Also, information about what&#039;s best to choose, either one A32 Pro or maybe better, two Pulse 16 MXs.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,<br />As owner of ADI 2 Pro I’m going to get MADIFACE XT II and am I right with this type of connection?<br />From Madiface with RME BO-968 AES/EBU cable (9-pin connector to 2 XLR conectors) to another RME BO-968 AES/EBU cable (female XLR to male XLR and male to female ) and then with 9-pin connector to ADI 2 Pro …<br />Will it works ?<br />I want work under 88/96 kHz … <br />Second unit&nbsp; which I want to connect to Madiface is Ferrofish 32Pro via madi cable ….<br />In future I’m planning to get another A32Pro for more in/out channels, so that’s the reason, why I want to get Madiface XT II.&nbsp; <br />Thanks for help…<br />Tomas</p>]]></description>
