| Posted by: ArmorAlley on 2024-03-02 02:44:53 There is a Mac Pro going cheaply near me and it has two cards (which I assume are sound processing cards of some kind). And while I don't need another Mac Pro, it might be worth getting for the cards alone. What cards are these and what do they do? Thanks.   | |

I'm gonna guess you're probably getting a good deal, no matter the price. I'm pretty sure this would typically be for running something like an audio studio console or stage production. | |
| Posted by: demik on 2024-03-03 05:04:54 For the top one : 99% this is an early run of a RME HDSPe MADI Card (not the FX, the ones without the DSP in them). First runs came with black bezels, the modern ones are polished. They cost about $1000 each new, don't know about the resale value MADI is a pro digital interface, think SPDIF/Toslink but 64 of them on the same fiber pair The bottom card is a daughter card to the MADI card used to keep digital audio equipment in check. It will gives you MIDI I/O with the right cable (easy to find online, look for reference BO-9652) I've been using them in pro studios and broadcast facilities for years They come with awesome onboard mixing and MacOS drivers. You can use this one on a modern Mac in a Thunderbolt enclosure as well Without external MADI gear or Analog converter, it will gives you hardware internal sound mixing on a 64x64 matrix, a better analog sound output and MIDI IO | |
