Topic: Please Help Unpack all the Letters : )

RME ADI-2 Pro FS R BE..

I am going to guess.. RME.. no idea what these letters unpack to despite using for years. I can't find any info.. sorry, help!

ADI-2... Audio Digital Interface? Analog Digital Interface? I am guessing.. Pro.. Professional.. FS... Femtosecond? Guessing.. R... No idea? Remote? Reference? BE.. Black Edition..

Soo.. RME Audio Digital Interface Professional FemtoSecond Reference Black Edition

How close did I get?

RME

My guess is
Ralf Männel Electronic(s)

May be Engineering, Enterprises, and not ELRAD (German magazine for electronics hobbyists in the last millennium, must-read back then, those were different times) cool

Ralf
(ADI-2 Pro FS with ThinkPad Yoga L13, Dynaudio Focus 600 XD or Focal Clear — and a lot of Jazz)

Thank you that was a very informative article. Sound on Sound magazine has a lot of quality reviews and stories. I agree I think it was originally a shortening of Ralf Mannel's name and something like Electronics.

Or Ralf Matthias Elektronik smile

Ralf Männel, Matthias Carstens, who is foundation member too.
