RME's LNI-2 DC active filter represents a breakthrough in portable power conditioning, machined from solid aluminium to provide pristine 12V DC power for your audio equipment. This compact unit tackles the persistent problem of power-related noise that plagues audio systems, eliminating hums, buzzes, and interference that can compromise your sound quality. The LNI-2 DC accepts input voltages from 9-18V DC and outputs a rock-solid 12.0V at 2A through its lockable connector.
At the heart of this device lies galvanic isolation technology combined with RME's proprietary µFilter system. Galvanic isolation prevents noise transmission by completely separating the input and output grounds, while the µFilter provides active regulation and filtering. This dual approach ensures that high-frequency noise, leakage currents, and mains-related interference are blocked from reaching your equipment, resulting in noticeably cleaner audio performance.
The integrated sensor technology sets the LNI-2 DC apart from conventional power filters by monitoring voltage directly at the output connector via the included 4-wire cable system. This eliminates load-dependent voltage drops that can affect performance, maintaining consistent 12V output regardless of current draw. The unit includes two DC sensor connection cables with both lockable and standard 2.1 x 5.5mm plugs, providing flexible connection options for various equipment configurations.
