Topic: 12Mic/12Mic-D S/PDIF-ADAT - Feature Request

Would it be possible through a firmware update to make the 3 ADAT outputs on the 12Mic/12Mic-D switchable from ADAT to S/PDIF like it is on other RME devices such as the Digiface USB?

This would add a great deal more output options for D>A and D>D.

In the sense of format converter or to be able to connect another D/A convertrer like ADI-2 Pro, so that sample rate changes can be detected better compared to ADAT.

It would be good to be able to get stereo SPDIF out of ADAT outputs (like Madiface USB) and stereo AES3 out of MADI coax outs on all RME interfaces. Hugely useful for expanding monitoring and streaming options on site. It seems its something that might be done in software?

+1 from me.

This feature (if technically possible) wpuld allow to connect all 12 channels to a ucx 2.
I have been using rme gear for a Long time and find it unfortunate that these two pieces of gear (ucx2 and 12mic) can‘t be connected to each other without sacrificing 4 channels of the 12mic, although ucx2 has enough digital I/O to use all 12 channels.
This combo would be the right choice for our music school’s new studio , which I have to install and buy gear for, and I‘m sure ist would be appealing to other people, too.
Cheers…
