2. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the 12Mic.

The 12Mic is a 12 channel microphone preamplifier designed to be the centerpiece of any professional

recording. Among its outstanding features: digital no-compromise studio quality converters, remote

control, integrated AVB and MADI connectivity, and a user interface optimized for rapid configuration and

control.

While all 12 front-facing XLR connectors accept microphone and line level signals, the first four

connectors also accept TRS connectors with switchable high impedance (Hi-Z) for instruments. The

PAD-free microphone input stages have a 75 dB gain range and accept signals of up to +18 dBu.

All device states and controls can be operated directly on the front panel with an encoder and four

buttons that change their function depending on selected feature. This allows to rapidly create gain

groups, switch phantom power and route signals to the headphone.

The RME AVB Core has implemented the IEEE standards for audio streaming, discovery and control

meticulously, allowing the devices to be discovered and fully controlled by any AVB controller and

making vendor-specific control protocols a thing of the past. Any signal reaching the 12Mic can be

routed and streamed over deterministic networks with fixed latency and guaranteed bandwidth - no

switch configuration required!

The coaxial MADI port and a slot for a second, independent or redundant optical MADI port (SFP module)

can be used for daisy chaining, merging and converting MADI signals with lowest latencies. In addition,

three optical ADAT outputs for up to 24 outputs at single speed (for example a combination of

microphone inputs, MADI signals and AVB signals) or 12 outputs at 96 kHz sampling rate offer

compatibility to a wide range of audio interfaces.

Multiple layers of redundancy make this product the perfect fit for live sound applications. Two fully

redundant network ports are implemented following recommendations of MILAN. The MADI ports

support RME’s MADI redundancy implementation. And even the power inlet allows for redundancy with

an optional external DC power supply in addition to the IEC connector.

A web frontend offers convenient access to the device controls and its integrated routing matrix. The

integrated matrix allows free routing between analog inputs and headphone outputs, as well as all

channels of both MADI ports, the AVB streams, and three ADAT outputs.

See: Section 8.4.1, “Finding the Device on a Network”

2. Download the current firmware from the RME website.

3. Unpack the compressed file.

4. Open the Settings in the Web Remote.

5. Within the Firmware Update section, press the Select .swu Firmware File Êbutton and locate the

unpacked file.

6. Press Start Firmware Update .

The unit retains all settings, including presets, when the firmware is upgraded.

2.3. Controlling the device

The 12Mic can be controlled directly at the unit. For this purpose, a display, buttons, and an encoder

provide access to all features. From the main screen, the encoder knob is used to access the main menu.

It also controls the gain of the headphone output if turned, and puts the device into standby mode if

pushed for several seconds.

2.3.1. Sections

The main menu separates all controls into one of four sections:

•STATE for general settings

•CLOCK for digital clock related settings

•INPUT for audio input related settings

•OUTPUT for audio output related settings and routing

RME 12Mic User’s Guide

2.3. Controlling the device | 4

To access the INPUT section:

1. Push the encoder to open the menu

2. Rotate the encoder to highlight the "INPUT" section

3. Push the encoder to open the "INPUT" section.

2.3.2. Tabs

The STATE, INPUT and OUTPUT sections are further divided into tabs,

which are shown when the section is opened. Upon opening one of these

sections, a cursor is shown to navigate between tabs and settings.

To leave a tab or the section, use the return key .

Tabs can generate a warning whenever a configured signal path cannot be established. This is then

indicated on the main screen as a red highlight of the corresponding section and in the main menu.

Warnings occur for example when a clock reference signal does not match the internal sample rate. They

also cause the standby LED to flash in white and red.

Tabs in the main menu can also show a 'caution notification', for example if loaded preset was not

saved. To see these notifications, open the main menu by pushing the encoder.

2.4. Status Indicator Color Chart

Notifications on this device have been optimized for different screen sizes. They are unified across the

device display and the web remote and include a color bar that indicates the current state at a glance.

The following table shows the possible status indicator colors for reference.

Status Color Description

Warning red Requires a configuration change or matching

external signal.

Notice yellow There is a potential issue.

Notice (in progress) yellow with dots There is a temporary issue that should resolve

automatically.

No Routing light green In output section: Output is sending an empty

signal.
