No amplifier in the entire world does unless it has a built-in decoder. The answer from "Staff" is misleading at best.

Would this permit me to plug a microphone into ...

Would this permit me to plug a microphone into one of the XLR ports or do I need a seperate mic pre?
Asked by: AudioBob
No, the RME ADI-2 Pro FSR does not have any mic preamps built-in so it is not intended for connecting microphones. You would need to use a separate mic preamp. As another option, you may like the RME Babyface Pro FS 24-Channel 192 kHz Bus-Powered USB 2.0 Audio Interface (B&H #RMBABYFACEPF) which has two analog XLR inputs with mic preamps.

Does the CD player connect to the Analog Inputs ...

Does the CD player connect to the Analog Inputs in the back panel? What type of cable connectors should be used? RCA?
Asked by: Rong
The best way to connect a consumer CD player to this unit would be to utilize either the S/PDIF Coaxial or S/PDIF Optical digital inputs. The analog inputs are balanced 1/4-inch TRS or XLR, and usually connect to professional audio gear, such as a mixing board or a CD player, such as the Tascam CD-500B Single-Rackspace CD Player (Balanced), BH #TACD500B.
