Last year RME celebrated their 20th year anniversary, with the German manufacturer announcing no less than four new products at Musikmesse 2016.

One of those new devices was the RME ADI-2 Pro, a feature-packed update to the RME ADI-2, featuring incredibly precise audio quality, powerful headphone amplifiers, plus a host of innovative features that will appeal to both mastering engineers and high-end audio aficionados alike.

With the ADI-2 Pro proving popular in both pro audio and HiFi circles, RME have chosen Musikmesse to unveil their new RME ADI-2 Pro Anniversary Edition.
