RMP-D8

8-Channel Dante® Mic Preamp + Converter


The massive weight & tone of classic Rupert Neve Designs studio microphone preamps: now available on your network.

For the last decade, the world’s leading live sound engineers have chosen Rupert Neve Designs as some of the only analog equipment to accompany their digital touring rigs. With mastering-grade 24-bit 192kHz converters and full Dante integration, the RMP-D8 finally offers the live sound world something that studios have always coveted: the sound of Rupert Neve Designs.

“The RMP-D8 sounds and feels like a classic Rupert Neve console to me.”
— JAMES MESLIN / DREAM THEATER

Legendary Rupert Neve Tone

The heart of the RMP-D8 lies in the modular mic preamp cards featuring Mr. Rupert Neve’s custom transformer designs. Unlike other integrated Dante mic preamp designs that rely primarily on a single IC for gain & tone, the RMP-D8 has eight fully-realized class-A microphone preamplifiers feeding eight custom audio transformers, maintaining the high standards of Rupert Neve Designs’ standalone preamplifiers.





“Changing my front end to this pre-amp has given me everything back. Warm deep low end, rich mid-range, smooth clear top end. Punch, Clarity. The difference is mind blowing…it’s like having a different console.”
– GARRY BROWN / PHISH

Mastering-Grade Conversion

Where converters are often an afterthought on combination devices, the 24-bit/192kHz converters in the RMP-D8 are a product of years of careful listening.

The precision­ controlled internal clocking and enhanced jitter reduction enable capture of the full breadth of performance from the mic preamplifiers or the line inputs; with the RMP-D8, there is no weak link in the audio path.







The New Dante Standard

Dante audio networking uses standard IP networks to transmit high-quality, uncompressed audio with near-zero latency. It’s the most flexible, reliable, and easy-to-manage audio networking solution available, and provides the lowest cost of ownership by dramatically reducing cabling and labor costs. Dante is the audio networking choice of nearly all professional audio manufacturers, making it the industry standard for digital audio networking.

The RMP-D8 is also fully DDM (Dante Domain Manager) Ready.



All in all, the RMP-D8 brings the classic sound of Rupert Neve Designs into the Dante-connected world.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is the RMP mic pre the same as another RND preamp?

No; because of the remote control design and the highly custom transformer design feeding the converters, the RMP is a unique preamplifier. The harmonic content from the transformer (essentially integrated Silk) is loosely based on Rupert’s mic preamps from the 1970s.

Do I need a dedicated audio interface to use the RMP-D8?

No; you can use Audinate’s Dante Virtual Sound Card application to get the RMP-D8’s signal into a computer. For the best latency performance however, we recommend having a Dante-enabled mixer or using a dedicated Dante / Computer interface to lower the latency for cue mixes when needed.

This playlist includes four setup videos explaining different ways to connect the RMP-D8: as a standalone device, and with interfaces from AVID, Burl, and Universal Audio:

Can I use the RMP-D8 with AVB or Soundgrid?

Yes; you can use AES 67 compatibility mode in Dante controller as a way to bridge between Dante and other AOIP destinations with some limitations. You may also be able to use a hardware bridge. However, the RMP-D8 remote control application will only work over Dante.

I can’t get my RMP-D8 to sync in the remote control app. What do I do?

It is likely the RMP is not on the same subnet mask as the computer.
