RME HDSPe AIO Pro - 30-Channel 192kHz PCIe Audio Interface Card

The HDSPe AIO Pro is RME's fully reworked successor to the popular HDSPe AIO, a single PCI Express card that brings ADI-2 Pro-grade analog conversion, comprehensive multi-format digital I/O, and a powerful headphone output directly inside your computer. Designed for studio and broadcast professionals who want the lowest possible latency and the tightest system integration, it eliminates the need for an external interface entirely while delivering performance that rivals standalone units.

ADI-2 Pro Converters Inside a PCIe Card

The AIO Pro is built around the same AK5572 AD and AK4490 DA reference processors used in RME's flagship ADI-2 Pro converter. The analog input circuit design is taken directly from the ADI-2 Pro, with four switchable input sensitivity settings (+24/+19/+13/+4 dBu). The analog inputs achieve an SNR of 117 dB (120 dBA) at the +19/+24 dBu settings, with THD at -114 dB.

Analog I/O and Output Levels

The AIO Pro offers a stereo balanced analog input and output at up to 192 kHz. Balanced outputs are switchable between +24/+19/+13/+4 dBu, and unbalanced outputs between +19/+13/+4/-2 dBu, covering everything from consumer gear to professional mastering monitors. A dedicated hardware attenuator in the output section improves SNR at lower reference levels and reduces output impedance. A mute relay on all analog outputs prevents crackling noise when the computer powers on or off.

The AIO Pro ships with RCA/phono breakout cables as standard, which are unbalanced. The optional XLR breakout cable (sold separately) enables fully balanced operation with XLR connectors and a Neutrik locking TRS jack for the headphone output.

Headphone Output

The AIO Pro includes a dedicated high-power headphone output with its own separate DA converter and playback device, independent from the main analog outputs. It delivers up to 730 mW per channel into 32 Ohm with just 0.1 Ohm output impedance. Two output levels are available, Hi-Power (+19 dBu, SNR 117 dB) and Lo-Power (+7 dBu, SNR 113 dB), with a mute relay ensuring clean switching between states.

Digital I/O

All digital formats operate simultaneously with no trade-off between connections. ADAT optical (TOSLINK) supports 8 channels at 48 kHz, 4 channels at 96 kHz, and 2 channels at 192 kHz via S/MUX4. AES/EBU (XLR, transformer-balanced) and SPDIF (RCA, transformer-balanced) both support up to 192 kHz in Consumer and Professional format.

SteadyClock FS

The AIO Pro incorporates RME's full SteadyClock FS circuit with jitter suppression exceeding 50 dB at 2.4 kHz across all clock modes, including the optional word clock and LTC input via the TCO module.

TotalMix FX

The AIO Pro runs TotalMix FX with a 760-channel mixer at 42-bit internal resolution, entirely on the card's own FPGA hardware. Every input and playback channel can be routed to any output independently, with per-channel EQ, dynamics, reverb, and delay. The card also supports the optional ARC USB hardware remote.

Native PCIe - No Bridge Chip

The AIO Pro uses a native PCI Express implementation with no PCIe-to-PCI bridge chip, achieving the lowest possible latency and the most stable data transfer, with the full bandwidth of the PCIe lane available to the card at all times.
