\"Autograph<\/a>Autograph Sound Recording was founded by Andrew Bruce and Phil Clifford in 1972. Since then it has grown to become a leading light in the live performance industry with a host of clients that include the biggest West End plays and musicals. More recently, Autograph were a major part of the successful opening and closing ceremonies of the London Olympics.<\/p>\n

As long-time RME users we were curious to find out more about what they\u2019ve been up to, so we dropped in on Rob Tory who kindly gave us the run down.<\/p>\n

The main application of RME in Autograph\u2019s world is as digital I\/O for their Mac Pro systems running QLab; sound design software for live performance. \u00a0They have some 30 of these systems each flight-cased with two redundant Mac Pro towers. Inside sit 2 or more RME MADI cards; both the original HDSPe MADI<\/a> card, equipped with a single MADI I\/O on both BNC and optical fibre and now also the new, more powerful HDSPe MADI FX<\/a> with three sets of MADI I\/O and a whole host of other, under-the-hood improvements.<\/p>\n

\"RME<\/a>

Two systems complete with the first\u00a0HDSPe MADI FX<\/a>\u00a0cards to land in the UK were called into service for the London Olympics opening and closing ceremonies; an event where reliability was of paramount importance. In typical RME fashion, they just worked!<\/p>\n

The list doesn\u2019t end there though. They also use the RME ADI-192 DD<\/a> for sample rate conversion and the RME MADI bridge for routing and translation between optical and BNC MADI formats. \u00a0On top of that there are RME Fireface interfaces<\/a> and M-32 DA converters<\/a>. \u00a0Even their in-house studio is equipped with RME\u2019s flagship microphone preamp, the Micstasy<\/a>. \u00a0So there are plenty of blue-fronted boxes to be seen!<\/p>\n

When we asked Rob why he uses RME, he said \u201cWe use a range of RME products, from the Fireface right up to the\u00a0M-32 DA. They have always proved robust, reliable and intuitive.\u201d<\/p>\n
