The HDSP System, from RME consists of either a PCI card or a CardBus PCMCIA interface, plus an external I/O-box, that together can operate on either a desktop or a laptop computer.
The Multiface 2 is an analog/digital input/output box housed in a small, compact enclosure. It provides eight channels of audio I/O on balanced connectors, ADAT optical and S/PDIF I/O, Word clock I/O, along with MIDI and a separate stereo analog line out.
Since the parts of the Hammerfall DSP System can be combined freely, the Multiface 2 can be used both with notebooks as well as desktop computers and provides "Zero CPU Load" technology that guarantees high performance and low latency.
Note! To make a complete system, an optional computer interface, such as the HDSP PCI card or HDSP PCMCIA CardBus interface has to be purchased
