RME M-16 DA 16-Channel High-End MADI/ADAT To Analog ConverterThe M 16 DA from RME is an extremely high quality 16 channel D A converter. It utilizes MADI (Multi channel Audio Digital Interface) technology, which allows up to 64 channels of audio to flow freely without the shortcomings of multi core cable based digital audio technology. Not only does the M 16 DA provide pristine audio circuitry, the great converters, and RME's famous SteadyClock technology, but the MADI protocol also enables incredibly long

The M-16 DA from RME is an extremely high-quality 16-channel D/A converter. It utilizes MADI (Multi-channel Audio Digital Interface) technology, which allows up to 64 channels of audio to flow freely without the shortcomings of multi-core cable-based digital audio technology. Not only does the M-16 DA provide pristine audio circuitry, the great converters, and RME's famous SteadyClock technology, but the MADI protocol also enables incredibly long cable runs of over 1 mile (2000 meters)!

In order to put the M-16 DA to use, you need to have a computer with either an internal RME MADI card (such as the HDSP MADI), or an external RME MADI interface (like the HDSPe MADIface). If you're setting up a system where you'll need MADI A/D conversion on the other end, you can use the 16-channel M-16 AD or the 32-channel M-32 AD.

The additional MADI port on the rear of the M-16 DA facilitates stacking multiple units together, which makes it possible to take advantage of the full 64-channels that this system is capable of delivering. With that magnitude of power, combined with the ability to send these signals great distances, makes this system a powerful tool for a wide range of professional applications. Live location recording, recording studio facilities, and installed systems in stadiums and theaters can all benefit from the excellent caliber of sound quality that RME is known for and that the M-16 DA will provide.

Functioned as advertized.
Installed these in my Whalers 96 200 Offshore. No issues, used permatex gasket compound on aluminum engine parts after cleaning with fine brass wire wheel.

Fits 1988 Sea Ray V-135 2 stroke (Mercury)
For those of you with the 135 hp mercury that was branded as the "Sea Ray 135" and paint matched to the boat (i.e. Seville's and some others) this is the 147 degree thermostat for that motor. My Seville is an '88 and It's difficult to cross reference the serial numbers on those motors when searching for parts. Only buy Quicksilver parts for these motors. Happy to find them on Amazon because Boats.net as an example, is not clear on what you're getting.
