Power Through Professional Digital Audio with the RME Hammerfall DSPe AES-32 PCIe Card

Purpose-built for high-end studios, post-production facilities, and broadcast control rooms, the RME Hammerfall DSPe AES-32 PCIe Card delivers pristine 24-bit audio, ultra-stable clocking, and flexible digital connectivity. With 16 channels of transformer-balanced AES/EBU I/O and RME’s acclaimed SteadyClock technology, it provides the accuracy, versatility, and low-latency performance required in mission-critical audio environments.

Precision AES/EBU Connectivity

The AES-32 offers 8 stereo AES/EBU inputs and 8 stereo outputs via dual DB-25 connectors, giving you a total of 16 channels of fully transformer-balanced I/O. This design ensures electrical isolation and optimal signal integrity, with full support for sample rates up to 192 kHz across all channels. Ideal for interfacing with professional digital consoles, converters, and routers, the AES-32 maintains rock-solid performance in even the most complex setups.

SteadyClock™ Jitter Suppression and Synchronization

RME’s SteadyClock™ technology eliminates jitter and preserves phase accuracy, even when working with unstable or poor-quality external clock sources. SyncAlign™ guarantees perfect sample alignment across all channels, while SyncCheck™ continuously monitors clock health in real time — giving you complete confidence in the stability of your digital audio chain.
