User’s Guide OctaMic II © RME
1. Introduction
The OctaMic II's innovative concept allows for amplification and digitization of ALL analog signal
sources. Be it high-level stage signals, typical studio signals, lower level and high-impedance
instruments, or dynamic, condenser or ribbon microphones: OctaMic II understands them all –
in a way that is simply thrilling.
When developing the OctaMic II we used all our experience, and also the experience of our
customers, to create a unique, excellent and high-quality unit. As successor of the OctaMic D
the device offers the approved quality of its predecessor, adding lots of improvements in detail.
