So it&#8217;s great that the ADI-2 DAC also has SPDIF, meaning I can keep the Fireface&#8217;s ADAT free for recording.\u201d<\/p>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<center>\n<h4>How to connect the RME ADI-2 Pro &#038; ADI-2 DAC to an RME Audio Interface<\/h4>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"596\" height=\"336\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sBOADUtZ7qc\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<p>Watch more videos at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/synthaxtv\" title=\"Subscribe to the Synthax Audio UK YouTube Channel\" target=\"_blank\">SynthaxTV<\/a><\/p>\n<\/center>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019ll also be making use of the DAC\u2019s dedicated output for IEMs. Often when I\u2019m setting up mics in a live space, with no isolation from the instruments (i.e. a control room), I\u2019ve found IEMs can give me better separation over open or even closed-back headphones (you can put heavy duty ear defenders over the top &#8211; double bag it!), which helps me find the right mic placement. So that\u2019s a bonus!\u201d<\/p>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-9746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/RME-ADI-2-DAC-News-Image-Synthax-Audio-UK.png\" alt=\"RME ADI-2 DAC - News Image - Synthax Audio UK\" width=\"330\" height=\"208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/RME-ADI-2-DAC-News-Image-Synthax-Audio-UK.png 460w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/RME-ADI-2-DAC-News-Image-Synthax-Audio-UK-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/RME-ADI-2-DAC-News-Image-Synthax-Audio-UK-150x95.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/>\u201cI\u2019ve not had chance to mess around with the DAC properly yet as I\u2019m moving house and just had a baby, so things are a bit crazy!
