RME presents the world’s most versatile PCI Audio Interface – the Hammerfall DSP 9632. This card makes the dream of an All-In-One solution for every possible application come true. As usual, RME has not made any compromises: Latest AD- and DA-converters with more than 110 dB signal to noise ratio, all inputs and outputs simultaneously operational, easy-to-install optional analog expansion boards, the famous TotalMix, a newly developed, high-quality clock generator with total jitter suppression of external clock signals – all this combines into a 'soundcard' that the world has been waiting for so long.

UNIQUE TECHNOLOGIES IN HAMMERFALL DSP
AutoSync
Intelligent clock control according to operational mode and present/desired sample rate.
Bitclock PLL

The most reliable receiver circuit for ADAT optical signal. Dynamic Bus Utilization
Scalable computer load according to the current usage.
Enhanced ZLM®
Monitoring of the input signal, independent from clock mode and sample rate.
Intelligent Clock Control
Measurement and display of all incoming and used clocks.
Latency Fast Change
Change latency on-the-fly under ASIO, without manual reset or re-boot.
SyncAlign®
Surveillance and sample accurate synchronization of all channels.
SyncCheck®
Comparison and display of all input clock status.
Zero Latency Monitoring (ZLM®)
Automatic monitoring of the input signal with zero latency.
TotalMix
Mixes all inputs and all outputs on all outputs. Several independent submixes possible.
TOTAL MIXER All I/O boxes of the Hammerfall DSP System contain a hardware mixer in TotalMix technology. Any input and output can be routed and mixed to any output. Limited only by the available outputs of the I/O-box, up to 14 independent submixes are available. Internally, the mixer works with 40 bit wordlength. For level alterations there are 65536 steps that allow for a virtually continuous change between 6 dB gain and maximum attenuation. In unity gain setting, the mixer is even bit-transparent and can pass the input signal unaltered. The Digiface processes 1456 channels in real-time, which corresponds to the computing power of a Motorola DSP at 100 MHz. TotalMix not only leads to perfect and complete ASIO direct monitoring, but is also useful without ASIO. Thanks to a proprietary mixer surface, submix and Zero Latency Monitoring can be used with all audio applications. An external mixer thus becomes unnecessary in many cases.

DIGICheck DSP
DIGICHECK

 
Professional status and level display at lowest CPU load.
Hammerfall DSP implements RME's DIGICheck in hardware. This means: level metering of all inputs, all playback channels and all outputs at the same time with a minimum of CPU load, because the display data is already calculated in the hardware. The hardware catches both peak and RMS values. With these features, you have a unique multichannel level meter in broadcast quality worth several thousands of Dollars virtually at no cost. In addition, the level meter is integrated into the mixer surface, thus making setting and control easier.
